Google has announced that it is to retire the Octane JavaScript benchmark. The company says that while the benchmark was useful when it was introduced back in 2012, "over-optimization" by developers means that it is far less meaningful. Google places the blame at the door of those who have been playing the system

Microsoft is experimenting with bringing the browser tabbing experience to all apps in Windows 10, including File Explorer. As it currently stands, it's unclear whether the tabbed experience will show up by default, or if it'll only show up once you have two instances of the same program open.

Yes, because we really want to have to switch between tabs, when we're working with multiple files open
Any mention of any bugs being fixed, alongside all these Great New Features they're wasting our time with working on?

A growing field of research proves that artificial intelligence can be fooled in more or less the same way, seeing one thing where humans would see something else entirely. Fool me once, download a security update.

The findings in this article may finally show people how the name 'Artificial Intelligence' misleading... There is no 'intelligence' in fast learning and micro-level analyzing of pictures... Small is not same as detail...

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

Yup.
People are tending to use the term "AI" when what they really mean is "things that aren't manually coded into a program". The difference is only slightly incredibly huge.

Virgin Media has finally begun converting customer Super Hubs into public Wi-Fi hotspots. Some customers have reported receiving an e-mail from Virgin, letting them know that their home router is now broadcasting a public Wi-Fi signal. Virgin Media is opting in "hundreds of thousands" of customers by default, but you can opt out after the fact. 100,000+ customers opted in by default, but Virgin says download speeds unaffected.

Oh! Marvelous!
They've managed to find a way to make a service that already runs like an unreliable slug on valium even slower.
Switching to another lousy, over-priced UK telecoms provider has just moved a lot higher on my "to do" list.
Slogans aren't solutions.

UPC in Austria had this for two? years now. Called Wi-Free.
Works really well, seperate wifi ssid, limited to 10mbits down 1mbit up, that bandwidth is added on top of your plan's.
I can go pretty much anywhere and have free wifi with bearable speeds- still prefer my 250mbits at home, but hey, It's free!

One of the things I always experience when I'm forced to use a Mac (usually helping a friend with some website or something) is that I get this queasy feeling that there's a disconnect between the file that I'm viewing and the place in the file system where the file is stored. I can never find the same thing twice. There's no real "explorer" view that I can see, my friend simply keeps hundreds of icons on her desktop. In fact, I've never met a Mac user that organized anything into some sort of coherent hierarchy. They all search for things in "Finder", which most of the time, I can't find.
Maybe that's better. Maybe Mac users just aren't organized. Maybe they can't be. Regardless, that queasy feeling I get using a Mac still persists.

They say that is because the Mac is so user-friendly. Oh so friendly. You don't have to know where anything is, friend. Instead just go to Finder.
Organization is very user-un-friendly, I suppose.

I agree with this, and sadly, I see the same direction with Microsoft as well. I don't like Explorer hiding files and file extensions. I just moved from Vista to W10 with a clean install and am trying to resurrect some things with my old files. Microsoft has done so many things with mail files between Vista and W10, and has gone to great lengths to hide the details from the user.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

This is true. Unfortunately, the UI will become increasingly dumbed-down in order to increase the accessibility of computers to the average consumer.
The difficult we do right away...

I am OK with that being the default but they should allow you to enable a bunch of the stuff the removed if you want to and know how to.

I can't even remember using the 'Finder on the Mac, and I was a dues-paying member of the Cult for ten years: that could be a sign of either mental health, or Alzheimer's.
