Researchers know that there is no cognitive load for navigating new spaces—the human visual system instantly determines the navigational possibilities. But given all the spatial information presented by a new environment, how does the brain know it can walk through the door to the bar, but that it cannot navigate through the painting? The part where one is a door, and the other isn't?

Cloud-based services and infrastructure are boosting the financial performances of Microsoft and Google. In earnings calls this week, Google says it has developed 'deep enterprise' strengths and Microsoft says it's executing on digital transformations thanks to the cloud.

If you've been expecting Microsoft to issue a press release formally announcing the end of its Windows phone business, you're probably hoping for a bit too much. But make no mistake: its phone hardware business is dead. RIP-dead. Send-flowers-dead. Worm-food-dead. That's just what they want their enemies to think!

Computers are getting really good at learning things about the world and applying that knowledge to new situations, like being able to identify a cat in a photo. But researchers have recently discovered that there's a hitch: by adding some digital noise to an image, imperceptible to the human eye, it's really easy to trick a machine. Well, that's jsut silly

And while the induction of such casual slang is sure to offend some, none will likely take great umbrage than Apple zealots, whose zealotry is cited by the dictionary as an example of the proper use of the word. Wake up!

What dictionary did the m-w get it into?
Oh, wait. I see.
They only put it into their own joke book. I don't know why the site referred to it as a dictionary.

The new metal fabric is a flexible hybrid of chain mail and plate armor, in the horticultural sense of a hybrid: the offshoot of two different parents, having certain distinct and hopefully desirable characteristics from both. For all your space jousting needs?
