Google is working on a minimal environment that allows Chrome packaged apps to run without requiring the whole Chrome process. Currently called app_shell, this is still an experimental project, but the broader goal appears to be minimizing the resources required to run Chrome apps. They can call it Chlash, or maybe Chilverlight

The once-indomitable Windows empire is in a phase of slow decline. While Windows still is far and away the world’s leading desktop software, the growth within the computing industry has shifted over to smartphones and tablets that run on iOS and Android. Yeah. A "second class citizen" that pulls in more money than most can ever hope to

Enough of bullshit like this, if anyone seriously considers a mobile operating system will be more useful than a operating system for desktops/laptops then they should find a new section of journalism to write about.

The majority of infrastructure in the world still runs on Windows XP, including 95% of ATMs. That alone should disqualify Windows from being considered a "second-class citizen." At least for the moment. Once XP finally kicks the bucket, who knows.

Windows 8.1 will no doubt replace Windows XP as the ATM OS of choice. I mean, after all, it's touch-centric, right? (Only half of me is kidding, the other half...)

Well that statement could have been made by a DEC executive in the 80's:

That may be true, but until someone actually solves the problem of input on a mobile device, I'll stick to a desktop for word processing.
... and development
... and number crunching
Well, most things. A mobile is a useful supplementary device. PC's are selling slower because the market is saturated.

A comment from Microsoft's new CEO may be just the thing to inspire the next series of books on leadership and management. "Of all the races in the Galaxy, only the English could possibly revive the memory of the most horrific wars ever to sunder the Universe and transform it into into what I'm afraid is generally regarded as an incomprehensibly dull and pointless game"

Amazon has compiled a list of 100 must-reads from its Amazon Books staff into a list of “100 Books to Read in a Lifetime,” a guide for people looking for that next great book. If I don't read them, do I live forever?

Any list has Harry Potter on it is worthless - IMHO...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Why?
It has opened the door to book reading and literature to a lot of kids.
One thing I might agree with you, is that they could have merge the Harry Potter series as one entry instead of many in the list.

IMO, it is impossible to make a list of 100 books; there are just too many.
I'd rather be phishing!

"It has opened the door to book reading and literature to a lot of kids."
While commendable it itself, that does not make it something an adult should feel compelled to "read before you die". Great children's books, though personally I still prefer the Dark Materials trilogy.

There were a number of other children's books on the list (Goodnight, Moon for one example), so I don't think they mean the entire list for adult reading. Just, "to read sometime before you die."
However, the plot twists and characterization in "Goodnight, Moon"? Riveting.
