According to data released by NetMarketShare back in September 2017, about six percent of the market at the time comprised machines running Windows 8.1. But for those who are still using the OS, it may be time to reconsider this position since Windows 8.1 has just exited mainstream support as of January 9, 2018. Windows 7 makes a great upgrade

The gene-editing technology CRISPR could very well one day rid the world of its most devastating diseases, allowing us to simply edit away the genetic code responsible for an illness. One of the things standing in the way of turning that fantasy into reality, though, is the problem of off-target effects. Now Microsoft is hoping to use artificial intelligence to fix this problem.
