After previous revelations about Windows "Threshold," a release we might think of as Windows 8.2, some more information has emerged about Microsoft's plans for the future. And if you were worried that Windows 8.1 didn't go far enough in appeasing desktop users on traditional PCs, I think I have some good news for you. Third time might be the charm for Windows 8

Microsoft is always best on their third release

The only problem here is it may dissuade people from buying current generation products.
I was considering upgrading to a Nokia 1020, but if they're going to drop Windows Phone 8 that will become a dead duck (like my current Nokia - a Win Phone 7).
They need to be more open about the support lifecycle of phone O/S. The WP7 to WP8 one made a lot of devices obsolete.

The goal, according to LeCun, is long-term: To bring about major advances in the field, while doubling down in a research partnership with NYU to intensely study machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence. Soon they'll be able to avoid the middle-man, and post stupid stuff to your page without needing other humans

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a guaranteed surge of traffic and to hit the Hacker News homepage, all you need to do is write about why you hate MongoDB and/or migrated to some other database. We’ve been using it to power our server monitoring service, Server Density, for over 3 years now and so with experience, many of the problems cited in these posts seem like basic mistakes in deployment and understanding.

Microsoft has waffled over the past few days about how long it will continue to sell Windows 7, initially stating that it had already stopped shipping the operating system to retailers and OEMs, but shifting the status over the weekend to "to be determined." The governor called

The biggest problem with password (in)security is that most of us are using passwords that are all too predictable: The include words that can be found in a dictionary, popular phrases, or follow common patterns. (And we're not even talking about the most commonly used passwords, "123456" and "password".) Microsoft's Telepathwords is a clever way to test if your passwords are predictable. "If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell"
OK, I officially hate myself for that earworm.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.
