If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Quote: and there will be ‘farms’ turning to the more efficient micro-organisms.
Wrong (LMFAO!) Today we would call this organic farming. Why do you think he is wrong?

Interesting. Every couple of years it seems like you hear some story about how algae can be farmed for making gasoline or some other thing but as far as I know it hasn't happened yet.

These "Laws", developed over three decades, may highlight things you're doing wrong, or help you avoid the worst screw-ups. Violate them at your peril… Sadly, they don't include, "Computers may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm."

Factually incorrect - arguing that Android app's are an example of Java applets. Quite different - Java Applets run in the browser and are right up there with Flash for exposing security vulnerabilities.
Anyone with any sense disabled Java in the browser an eon ago.

While Windows 8.1 is certainly growing quickly and is eating into Windows 8′s share, the duo has only now been able to pass 10 percent market share, while Windows 7 seems to be plowing forward unaffected. "Windows 7 managed to gain more share in December than Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 combined."

40 light-years away lies the exoplanet GJ 1214b, a searingly hot "super-Earth" orbiting a red dwarf star. And thanks to the Hubble telescope, researchers believe they've found what lies in the planet's upper atmosphere: thick clouds. Yeah, but is it going to rain tomorrow, Mr Smartypants?

Apple just responded to newly released documents claiming that the U.S. National Security Agency has a method for gaining backdoor access to its iPhone. It says it has never worked with the agency, and is unaware of the alleged program targeting the iPhone known as DROPOUTJEEP. Nah, they're not working with them, they created it for their own use
On an entirely different note: could those government slides get any more ugly?

Another day, another Sinofsky lieutenant leaving the Redmond software giant. As with Jon DeVaan, it’s not a surprise that George Grant is leaving as Terry Myerson forced him out and replaced him with Mike Fortin. Sinofsky and Grant go way back to the Office days in 1994. "When one or more new males oust the previous male(s) associated with a pride, the conqueror(s) often kill any existing young cubs,"

Apple CEO Tim Cook received a compensation package of $4.25 million for the 2013 fiscal year, a 2% increase over the year before.
But the board also dinged Cook to the tune of nearly $4 million in stock vesting reductions, citing Apple's subpar performance compared to the S&P 500's for the 12-month period. Poor guy, now he can't even afford a Mac Pro
