This is why, I always place a warm loaf of fresh-baked bread under each armpit before entering a place for an interview.
<SNIFF> I smell like happiness, warmth and a cozy day at home. Hire me!
Hey, it works for selling your house.
Yes, sometimes interviewers do ask about the large bumps under my sweater, but I tell them that is possibly a harrassment issue and then the job is definitely mine.

My mother, for whatever reason, was called "Tim" from the time she was young. We don't know how it happened, but...
When she moved to the city I grew up in as a young woman, she interviewed for a job as a waitress... the owner was only told the person coming in was called Tim, but not the gender.
When she arrived, the owner said, "This is the first time I've met a 'Tim' with bumps in the sweater."
So, your comment made me smile at the memory of my mother telling that story.

Tuesday's build 10525 warns Insiders, 'You may not use this software if you have not validly acquired a license for the software from Microsoft' We said, 'free', not free

Apple is building a self-driving car in Silicon Valley, and is scouting for secure locations in the San Francisco Bay area to test it, the Guardian has learned. Documents show the oft-rumoured Apple car project appears to be further along than many suspected.
In May, engineers from Apple’s secretive Special Project group met with officials from GoMentum Station, a 2,100-acre former naval base near San Francisco that is being turned into a high-security testing ground for autonomous vehicles. Who's next? Microsoft?

Microsoft's version will be better, if they can manage to stop auto-updates.

Right, because we all know that auto-updates are the source of all evil and only disabling them can help keeping the computer secure

|
And now you cannot even disable them!

Which begs the question: "Will Apple's self-driving car have Windows?"
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

If you are a company that monetises data (Google, Apple , Microsoft, Facebook) you have to do vehicle automation because vehicle are what we could call "big input".

Samsung just might have the holy grail of batteries on their hands. The company, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has figured out a way to make batteries last 'indefinitely'. I'd be happy with "a couple of hours"

I invented a smart phone which ran on water -- no batteries reqired, you just had to shake it once every day -- but the big companies suppressed the technology because they wanted to keep selling batteries. Oh well.
|
|
|
|
|
I can imagine a phone skipping on water, briefly, but "run"?
