OMG! What am I going to do?!!! My Vista machine is going to explode any minute now!
Actually, I have had Vista running with no problems for several years on one of my machines. I have never felt the urge to update it to Win7 even though all my other machines, apart from a couple of XPs, and a Windows Server 2008 (and a DOS 6.22 virtual machine) are on Win7 (and I plan to keep them there for as long as possible).
I will update this machine when it's hard drive finally goes to The Great Spindle in the sky.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

The singularity is that point in time when all the advances in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to machines that are smarter than human beings. Just keep guessing. You might be right once.

By 2029, computers will have human-level intelligence
That isn't saying much.

Too right, I'd settle on finding some human intelligence right now.

Impossible.

Microsoft is soon rolling out a new feature to Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, introducing the ability to automatically transcribe in-game voice chat in real-time. Because they need preserving?
I'm guessing there won't be many kid-sister-safe ones

Having heard some of the crap that goes over in-game voice chats, this could backfire.

The Oracle executive chairman on Wednesday described Amazon and Microsoft as defeated rivals in cloud computing—at least when it comes to the quality of their technology. If you can't beat them, say you can (and run off)

Where's the lawsuit? Can't be Oracle news without a lawsuit...

I didn't know Oracle sold cloud services. Guess that says it all.

whOracle has bought up assorted enterprisy web applications and migrated them all to their in house cloud at something like 10x the original cost. Or at something like another 10x the new cost you can host a whOracle cloud instance on premise if you don't trust your data on someone else's servers.
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?

Cybersecurity researchers from the University of Michigan used sound waves to trick accelerometers and gain backdoor access into systems.
Anyone? Anyone attempted this yet???

Yes. Some Kent "The Leslie" Sharkey attempted it yesterday[^].
I saw that post, but don't see where he mentioned, that he attempted it.

If you *saw* that post, and were trying to start a discussion around this topic, then the lounge would have probably been a better place.
