Those web pages that stop you getting to the information you really want in favor of asking you to Download An App are deeply annoying. Now we just need to convince them how useless their, "Watch this before viewing the webpage" adverts are

Google already knows more about your online activities than you might like. Now Google has filed a patent to search and add your personal real-world experiences to its data store. "The entire history of you"

So when you put on the new version of Google Glass you not only will look stupid but will have all the rights - patented - to feel stupid!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes, there is a monthly subscription offer buried within Windows 10. To play Solitaire. OK, that's it! I'm really installing Linux now!
Plus, that way I get robots! W000t!

'Bout [REDACTED] time, Google!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

After raising funds at a $1 billion valuation, gaming company Razer has confirmed its first acquisition. It has bought the software assets of Ouya; and it has acqui-hired the company’s technical and developer relations teams to expand Razer’s Android TV gaming business, specifically around its Forge TV console and the Cortex gaming platform.
They did it all for the catchphrase: "OUYA!"

Bolstered by the near-meteoric rise of container technology, especially Docker, the term “microservices” is now being used to describe the type of software architecture anointed as the shiny new technology that will deliver software engineering to the Promised Land.

For web developers, exposing your .git folder to the world is a novice mistake. It allows anyone to download your entire source code repository, which often includes database passwords, salts, hashes, and third party API keys or usernames and passwords. Sharing is caring?

Windows 10 testers who've complained about mandatory updates in Microsoft's new operating system might have a solution at hand. The tool, available as an optional download, lets you hide or block any update for Windows or a hardware driver. But it's not installed automatically?

Imagine the Car Analogy.
At night gremlins will "update" your car's engine and in some cases render your car completely inoperable.
These gremlins are sent out by the car manufacturers themselves.
Now, instead of just saying, "If you want the gremlins, send us a postcard and the gremlins will come out each night and "upgrade" your engine", they say,
"The gremlins will be out and if you really don't want them then you'll have to install new locks on your car and hood."
What!?!

It galls me to say this, but Microsoft has a point.
Microsoft is right in saying that the overwhelming majority of home users installed Win7/8/8.1 with Windows Update set to Automatic. The new requirement to accept all updates makes sense in this environment.
For the few curmudgeons (you know who they are ), Microsoft has now provided a tool that allows them to pick and choose their updates (similar to the manual settings of Win7/8/8.1).
It remains to be seen how much real control is given over updates. Will security updates still be mandatory? What happens if a security update is contingent on another, unwanted, update?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
