Header: Got AppFabric Alternative?
Sounds like a fabric softener. No idea what they're talking about.
The second like though is a zinger:
"End-of-life coming!"
Is that geek talk for "The world is coming to an end?" I'm assuming the end of all life as we know it is after the Nov 5 2PM EST live webinar? Will I learn how to survive it? Will I learn how to go painlessly?

You sure you have the right forum?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's probably about a sequel to this movie: Cache[^]

Is reading the sub-titles in my Daily New emails. Whoever writes these is my hero.
This one in particular was awesome:
Google’s Project Zero discloses Windows 0day that’s been under active exploit
Releasing information about it certainly will stop people from using it

The funniest part of my day was reading that! (The posts have the author's name on them, lol, but giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume you knew it was Kent, it's just that you don't know him personally.)

So I went back and checked and didn't see Kent's name anywhere in the Daily News email and the author of the article is Dan Goodin. I don't know Kent but I wish I did because I really enjoy the sarcastic art form.

Microsoft partnered with Netflix to release a new learning experience featuring a young female hero Fei Fei: Learn AI ML with Netflix's Fei Fei!
Seems a fun way to learn and explore the data world.

I hope it is not like all other "IT" or "Hacking" scenes in the movies... if you had to learn from them...

Those are basic modules and thus less chance of hack.

I suppose you didn't get my irony.
I said nothing about learning how to hack things using that modules.
I meant that the "programming" / "hacking" / "It-Tech-World" is usually a bit far from reality when you see it in a movie. i.e. 30 seconds hitting keys and you are in the pentagon servers, pressing some keys and you can zoom in pictures like 100 times without losing definition and land in the right squared centimeter of the original picture where you wanted to zoom in and the needed details are at the first try...
And being netflix involved, I was expressing my "concern" about the probability of it being "main-streamed" (a.k.a. professionally irrelevant in the real world).
All in one sentence. But I suppose I missed my target

I would not say you missed. I got you were concerned if the problem would be presented as actual real situation. I did missed it could be like a movie type 30 seconds hack 
I think it's more to make or present the problem little interesting so that people see and try off. With basic modules in picture, learning wise it would be covered. Sure, cannot say if they are the true 1-1 mapping of actual state though. (what you were pointing to)

Not too long ago we had full Microsoft earnings with no mention of Windows at all, but the resurgence of work from home brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has made people realise the value of a platform dedicated to productivity and has returned the Windows ecosystem to growth They're making it bigger?

That is a truly cringe-making use of "surface area".
he must live in a weird, weird bubble to write stuff like that and not have people directly say to him: "What the frug are you talking about?".

The sad thing is that he probably has them, but as many other "big fishes", he just ignore what they say.
