Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I just found an old laptop running Windows XP, even more remarkable is that I remembered the password. Now how can I upgrade it to a reasonable OS?

Like a scene from a James Bond or Mission Impossible movie, a new offensive USB cable plugged into a computer could allow attackers to execute commands over WiFi as if they were using the computer's keyboard. Time for a little dab of epoxy
Fortunately, "This cable is not currently for sale, but Grover hopes to sell it to other security researchers in the future."

Well, given that this tool seems to have been given a green light, I think I'll start working on safe-cracking tools.
Had I known that making tools that are specifically for use in committing crimes is OK, I'd have put my best designer's hat on and cornered the market.

Teaching Computer Science at school just got easier as Microsoft is making a 30-hour curriculum, targeted at students in the age range 11 to 16, available as a free download. I'm guessing it's a block-oriented language?

They didn't just say "learn to code", did they? People have been getting into trouble for that lately.

I’ve worked in UX for the better part of a decade. From now on, I plan to remove the word “user” and any associated terms—like “UX” and “user experience”—from my vocabulary. I know, let's replace it with 'victim'

What an absolute bleeding moron.
The absolute bleeding moron wrote: I don’t have any strong alternatives to offer right now
So, a typical mouth with no brain backing it up -- "Ooh! I've finally had an idea that no-one else has thought of!"
The fact that it's an idea that no-one should have thought of doesn't matter; it's as original as this kind of absolute bleeding moron gets.
How about we don't call customers customers, consumers consumers, people people, and dogs dogs, because it's stereotyping them?
Note that I emphasised the word "stereotyping" because it's obviously a word the absolute bleeding moron doesn't know, but is maybe just about growing up enough to understand what it means.
However, using the type of word called "noun" to define an object/person/thing is not stereotyping!
It's called using words! Communication!
We should remove every noun from every language, according to this absolute bleeding moron, because using a noun is inherently stereotyping!
Was your new computer delivered in a box?
DON'T CALL IT A BOX! You're denying it its right to be considered as landfill!
Oh, and, as for UX, it took me seven clicks (including scrolling through pages of small-point text) to reach the link to the tool to turn off some of the site's data slurping.
Since the absolute bleeding moron claims extensive expertise in UX, we can only assume that this is malicious behaviour, intended to subvert the law that states it must be easy and quick to do, so I shall be adding the site to several lists, for scrutiny.

Ah! Ok, so we need to be more specific then: What about "users" seated at desktops as KSI's - as in Keyboard Seat Interfaces. Or then those on phones as "swipers". 
Come on! If you want to write about such things, then at least show you've got some idea of what to do in its place! 
I must say, I've always thought the word "user" has this addict connotation. Though in some cases it may even be an apt analogy.

Just replace 'users' with 'lusers', 'after sales' with 'LART', and 'blogger' with...
