Not sure, to be honest. Though as you point out, it would appear to be sensible.
While the temptation is there, I won't lie - it never occurred to me. I did try to hack the url for a couple of minutes but gave up in disgust.
I merely searched Google for "economic times Microsoft's Hotmail revamped as 'Newmail' to take on rival Gmail"

Ah. I'm not that motivated (because MS changing Hotmail again isn't that exciting...and I though it was Windows Live Mail or something now...too hard to keep up with MS changing the names of things ).

Personally I am very much looking forward to it. Hopefully can run all my windows apps on it (eventually). Current tablets are pretty much useless to me because they do not run windows apps.

The new Windows 8 ARM tablets won't run Windows applications, but you can buy one of this Windows 7 tablets while they are still being produced.

Well that is a good thing to know. I don't see much point to going to windows tablet without being able to use my windows applications

Top 5 lists are super-good link bait, so I’ll make my own sad one. In no particular order, and not stopping at 5, here are a few of the ways MySQL makes my life miserable. What’s your favourite - eh, least favourite - feature of MySQL?

In general, passwords are rarely leaked, because they usually aren’t stored. What is usually leaked are the password hashes. Here's how passwords really work. Salted hashes... add bacon and you've really got something.

Yeah. Lets ask LinkedIn if passwords are visible!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you never had to remember another password again? A computer could authenticate you based on how you type your user name without ever requiring you to type a password. To continue our series of posts about personal analytics, I want to show you how you can do a detailed analysis of your own typing style just by using Mathematica! Tiptoe through the typos.

So when you make a typo there is a possibility you could login to someone else's account?
You could just concat username & password and have a 1-textbox authentication... I'm thinking: you're really not making anything new.

The best way to learn Ruby best practices is to pair with an experienced dev; the way I learned was by inheriting a reasonably small, but well-written codebase from an amazing colleague. In the absence of either, here is a checklist of 15 things (since 'N things that you need to know about X' is the in-thing these days!) that I'd recommend a Ruby beginner to consider. Keep it simple. Code a lot.

Intel believes Thunderbolt will remake mobile computing by endowing laptops with a high-speed, versatile port. To match Intel's mainstream ambitions for Thunderbolt, though, Intel will have to prove to hardware designers and to consumers that it's got compelling advantages over the alternatives. Plug and play... wait, turn the plug over and play... no, wait...

When we started planning the email experience for Windows 8, our goal was to create an app that embodied the Metro style design principles. It needed to be fast and fluid, be great with touch and a keyboard and mouse, focus on your content, provide the right features at the right time, and fulfill our expectations of email on modern devices. Starting from scratch gave us an opportunity to carry forward the essential functions of an email app, while also designing features with a fresh eye and taking advantage of what Windows 8 offers uniquely. If it still has an easily accessible Reply All, you've failed wildly.

Online electronics retailer Kogan.com has announced it will be charging customers a 6.8 per cent penalty if they use the "antique" browser Internet Explorer 7 to buy their products. IE6 users will be ignored completely.

I’ve been running Windows 8 as my primary OS for several weeks, and I must say (as bizarre as it feels to type these words), IE10 is incredibly fast and fluid. It’s almost like that first time you used Chrome after using Firefox with too many add-ons. Whatever they’re doing over there, it’s working. Could you be tempted back to IE after using Firefox and Chrome?

No, because features and usability trump speed, which is hardly noticeable in comparison with network latency anyway.

Mike Bell, Intel’s chief of mobile, explains why one of the biggest surprises with x86 Android is the fact that app compatibility seems to be a non-issue. “There are two kinds of Android apps,” Bell says. “Those that use Dalvik, and ones that run natively.” Intel inside... your phone.
