A new Dropbox interface allows users to see all of the files they've stored in the cloud in their computer's file explorer without requiring them to keep local copies And - you know - beyond

OneDrive in Windows Explorer had this for ages - it was called "placeholder files" and worked pretty well. But, you know, like with every other nice feature in Windows, they eventually dropped it starting with Windows 10.

That's a good sign, as it seems to be grammatically incorrect.

So what teachers used to do (sort of) and which was totally squashed by federal mandated testing and ridiculous funding programs, is now to be replaced with an AI? Insane.

It could be a cosmic coincidence—but some astronomers suspect there are larger forces at play. It's a lighthouse!

It's our blessing and our curse, to see patterns in random behavior. Helps to make sense of the world, hinders sense-making.

Stephen Hawking, in a recent lecture held at the Harvard University, claimed that black holes could be portals to a parallel universe. After you...

Exactly the same as this universe only much smaller and more compact

Stephen Hawking, in a recent lecture held at the Harvard University, claimed that black holes could be portals to where single socks go after being put in the laundry. Just as likely I say.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Running Android apps on Chrome OS is kind of a big deal because it solves the big problem with Chrome OS—lack of high quality apps—while also solving the big problem with Android, that it is not suitable for laptop-like devices with keyboards and pointing devices. Oh, yes. Finally be able to run all those Android apps. Yay?

Microsoft is re-positioning .NET to be a platform that can be written anywhere and run anywhere, which is a departure from it’s long history of proprietary technologies. "You will meet the future, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

|

|
|
But it needs to be re-written! I'm ready for the next framework! Bring it on!
|
|
|
|
|
Ah - write once, run anywhere.
Where have I heard that before?

Microsoft's Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones have been on the market less than six months, but Microsoft is practically giving them away. If you wait long enough, they might start putting them in boxes of cereal

Bother.
I bought a Lumia 950XL last month
Sotto voce - it is an absolute cracker...

well I guess one of the two is priced close to its actual market value now...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
