Windows 10 shares a lot of personal data with Microsoft, but you can turn most of it off. "Private eyes, they're watching you. They see your every move"

Just tried to read it.
There were so many popups, the disappearing data, then more popups, then more disappearing data, etc.,
i.e., the annoyance to informing ratio was too high.
I closed the page, I think before it finished loading.

Using Chrome Version 39.0.2171.99 dev-m I did not have that experience. If I had seen many and then more popups, I would not have posted the link.

Agreed - as a former customer of Perforce, they need all the business they can get.

[IMHO] If you are trying to scale your version control to enterprise proportions, you are solving the wrong problem.
(There's a good reason why modern armies are comprised of squads not platoons)

'struth, but at some point it's handy to scale those platoons up to companies, etc. (I seem to recall seeing the architecture Microsoft uses for Windows version control. One of the few examples of that scale I can think of).

Ok - and that is a "common vision" / "architecture" maybe even "API" or "protocols" problem - but it should not be one code base across the enterprise and therefore should not need to be one code repository.

That has to be one of the worst technical articles I have read in a while. The author lays out a straw man argument and attacks it unrelentingly. Not satisfied with that he then blatantly advertises a competitors product.

GodMode for Windows 10 gives you access to 262 new god-like powers. And, while it doesn't give you unlimited lives or save you from bluescreens, it does expose some additional features and tools to play with. Walking on water not included

It appears that Microsoft is about to re-launch a document sharing service called Docs.com. The site, which is open to the public, makes it easy to share documents publicly and will likely be part of the Office family when it is released. Oh good, now I can share from Docs.com to OneDrive, to my OneDrive for Business, the Robocopy it from there...

What actually happens is that there are (lets say) 10 competitive services. A company tries to create another service that would provide services that all 10 of them provide. What they end up making is an 11th competitive service.
Of what good is this Docs.com other than being sure this website won't go off when many users start using it.

When announced at Gamescom today, it was stated that with this update comes “a completely redesigned experience that will be faster and easier than ever before.” Is "throw grenade" on the start menu, or do I have to go to the Control Panel?

Researchers have discovered a new and improved exploit kit that hackers are using to serve up infectious ads. Death to all ads (except the ones on CP)!

Does "infectious" really mean the same as "fectious", and what we actually want is "non-fectious"?
