Tragic story, I once saw a ship set sail that "architects" worked on for over a year and a half. The team kept their pet project behind closed doors before it saw the light of day. The champagne bottle busted the hull wide open and the swift ship moved past the rift. Storm winds flipped it over and great white sharks ate all the sailors. Too sad to behold.

In 2007 I wrote about using PNGout to produce amazingly small PNG images. I still refer to this topic frequently, as seven years later, the average PNG I encounter on the Internet is very unlikely to be optimized. This is why I always just use uncompressed 320DPI JPGs

Windows 7 runs on 55% of all the computers on the planet, but according to news this week that is actually a bad and potentially dangerous thing. It doesn't make them any money anymore, for one thing

Windows 7 runs on 55% of all the computers on the planet, but according to news this week that is actually a bad and potentially dangerous thing. Another aggressive attempt to make us move to W10 ?
Can believe it, MS have such a long record of honesty and customer safety concerns.

And what exactly a Marketing Chief knows about technology?
From this article it looks like he knows nothing about marketing too...
Hey! Mr. Marketing Chief! This will NOT push W10 forward - you only damage Microsoft that way!

If you look at infection rate reports[^], newer versions of Windows are much less likely to be infected than older ones. A trend that's been in place for at least the last few years (as long as I've been looking at the reports). OTOH a lot of the exploits being used are ones that were patched a long time ago; there's not enough detail to see how much is more severe inherent weakness vs sunshines who just decide to turn off Windows Update.
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?

Don't worry, you're not living out a 13 Going on 30 scenario -- you're only "celebrating" 46 years of Facebook friendship with someone right now because of a glitch. Does this also mean I don't have 115 years experience with .NET?

I just realize that I got my first FaceBook friend before my birth.

Which software had the most publicly disclosed vulnerabilities this year? The winner is none other than Apple’s Mac OS X, with 384 vulnerabilities. The runner-up? Apple’s iOS, with 375 vulnerabilities. "For the times they are a-changin'" (OK, not the Flash bit)

Not the right criteria, patch size would be more accurate.
And MS is getting the lead back as all windows are on top places since w10 is a correction patch for all other windows.

It seems that you may have an overactive duplicator.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has explained in an interview with BuzzFeed why the company is not concerned about the market share of its mobile operating system, which is about 1.7% globally. They're all about quality, not quantity?

I dare not even read that, my bullshit tolerance is rather low today.

What had you expect? Nadella confirms that his predecessors - who is currently the most powerful person on Microsoft board - is an a*hole?

Apple has had another class action lawsuit filed against it today. The lawsuit, filed in New York, claims that Apple deliberately crippled older devices with the recent iOS 9 upgrade. Who do I sue because I can't install Windows 10 on my XT?
