Claiming that sacking person guilty of creating blotus notes as the reason why MS is failing kinda kills the credibility of the rest of what the author is saying. (Below the baseline level of implicit drek from it being published on infoworthless anyway.)
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?

Google will soon let advertisers tap into one of the most lucrative types of ad targeting: email addresses. Pardon me while I go close all my email address accounts

I guess I'll have to dust off my old trusty "blowme@devnull.com" email address.

My only email address is:
SoYouThinkYoureGonnaSpamMe@mailinator.com
I just made it up this instant, but it's 100% real thanks to Mailinator.com
Seriously, check it...

Mailinator.com is really cool.

Gmail should automatically block them as spam.

And to think for the last few years I'd been thinking using one gmail address for friends/family/etc and a second for websites/etc had been a mistake that was over complicating my life. (At the time I assumed Google's spam filter would end up sucking as badly as my prior providers and after a few years I'd want to nuke the account I'd exposed to the wider web because it was full of garbage.)

Recently Ars was made aware of a group out there that claims to be actually preparing for the happy day when human consciousness can inhabit a machine. In fact, it's already experimenting a bit with some initial attempts at making that happen. "They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. "

The easiest way to stay employable is to be highly valued at your current job. Strangely, it's not whether you are "K&R" or "BSD"

Executives in Redmond were caught flat-footed after this summer's Windows 10 launch by charges that the new operating system is spying on customers. Several new statements for consumers and IT pros today aim to explain why those accusations are unfounded. "Windows 10 collects information so the product will work better for you." That makes me feel better.

Although it’s only been officially available for just under two months, Windows 10 has been installed on over 100 million machines–meaning that it’s well on its way toward Microsoft’s goal of one billion machines within three years. One small step for Redmond, one giant version leap from Weight

Is this counting desktops/laptops only? The interesting thing is that desktops are dead, right?
Desktop / laptops aren't being bought or used any more, right?
Everyone is using their phone or pad, right?
Right?
No.
