"Backed by the US-Dollar", which is, wait a minute... backed by nothing! Well, nothing but the US military, that is.

Speaking to the Independent, Surface head Panos Panay said the line was here to stay. This means they're cancelling it for sure, doesn't it?

From the not-at-all-misleading article: Microsoft is celebrating record Surface sales, with reports that in some regions they are outselling the iPad If you click through to the page this refers to, and then to the page that that one refers to, you'll find that the surface is outselling the ipad in the "detachables category".
Clicking through to yet another page, you find that the "detachables category" refers to the kind of tablet that has a detachable keyboard.
So, once you've cut through all the layers used to deceive, it turns out that the surface is outselling an apple product that does not even exist.
... But only in one part of the world.

These single-celled organisms have a strange computing capacity that allows them to generate approximate solutions to a computationally complex problem known as the “traveling salesman problem.” First we had to worry about AI taking our jobs, now protozoa?

Plants and bacteria, Mate. They're the computers of the future.
I've been saying that for almost 40 years, so I'm obviously referring to a later future than now.

This is the problem with the winio data slurping.
Professionals and people who know how to use computers switch off and block the data slurping, so the bulk of the metrics and "feedback" (I use that word reservedly, because the information is stolen from users, not provided by them) they're getting is from people who don't use computers in a professional capacity.
So do windows users want effective, non-distracting, efficient user interfaces, or do they want useless garbage like this?
I'd bet the numbers extracted from the data slurping say they want this useless garbage.

Microsoft has launched a new $25,000 malware challenge for data scientists on the Google-owned Kaggle crowdsourcing site to develop an algorithm that can predict what types of Windows PCs are most likely to be soon infected with malware. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Obviously they will come up with "Any Windows before the current version of Windows 10 will be riddled with malware." What other answer would you expect?

It's got to be just a publicity stunt, where they'll never have to pay the prize.
You could certainly feed infection data into a backprop or an NN, but the idea that the model of the machine makes a f@rt's worth of difference is beyond ridiculous.
The only thing that it might be possible to determine is what kind of person prefers which kind of device, and then that information can be integrated with shopping and location data, etc.
... So it turns out to be a personal-data slurp, after all.
No surprises, there.

Microsoft has issued an emergency update that fixes a critical Internet Explorer vulnerability that attackers are actively exploiting on the Internet. Looks like Microsoft can't release Windows Sandbox soon enough.

Internot Exploited/Dredge were the focus of some of MS's earliest sandboxing work. Anything evil attacking the OS from them already knows how to pwn an MS sandbox.

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?
