It has been in the offing for some time now, but yesterday in an interview with Cheddar, Microsoft’s chief marketing officer Chris Capossela formally raised the white flag when it came to the platform wars with Google and Apple. "Peace for our time"
The actual interview doesn't match this headline. More like kumbaya than a surrender

That's a click bait headline if ever I saw one.

For that matter how is that different from what they've been saying about mobile for the last two years?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I think you got a problem with the subject of this post

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I've seen some complex math in AI, but how the fu*k did they calculate the 2040?

I prefer checkers. When I was only 10 I beat a TRS-80 (back in '78) at checkers by not moving any of my back row of checkers. I gained a king and could continue to move while the computer ran out of moves as all its pieces were moved forward.
I think you can tell I was kind of a genius prodigy for beating the computer that way.
I'm not sure what happened after that.

"Facebook says it'll crack down on fake accounts, but there are lots of fake Mark Zuckerbergs out there. And they're after your cash." [^]Quote: An examination by The New York Times found 205 accounts impersonating Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, on Facebook and its photo-sharing site Instagram. At least 51 of the impostor accounts, including 43 on Instagram, were scams.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12
