Am I too late to patent the idea of making bulletproof phones?
I'd make a killing, in the States!

In the US, you can make a bigger killing by making guns that look like phones.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Great idea!
They'd be really popular with the police, who could then say "I shot the teenager 36 times, reloading twice, because he was holding a phone that might have been a gun", and not even be prosecuted for it!
Mind you, I doubt that they'd sell at all, because of that -- not that that would stop the police making that claim.

There isn't one stool to rule them all, but some are clearly better than others. Because stuff happens
OK, not technology that most of us work with (other than management), but added due to the huge steaming pile o' puns in the article

I think it's all a big joke, based on a drunken bet between two doctors on who could make the most money out of selling actual human sh1t.

That's definitely not a greenfield-development (in both senses).

Thunkable gives noncoders the ability to create professional-grade mobile apps. To some level of "professional-grade"

Oh whoop-di-doo.
The play store will be flooded with millions upon millions of "read my tweets!" apps, "watch my cat!" apps, "This game has been made a million times, but this one has a different shade of yellow in the background!" apps, and other apps at the same incredibly high creative level.
I can't wait.

There must be a new definition associated with the phrase "professional grade" of which I'm not yet aware...

Google’s Jigsaw unit published a quiz that tests users’ abilities to identify phishing emails. The quiz tests you on a series of emails to see if you can distinguish telltale signs of phishing. So... I'm not getting $3million?

Do you receive the test via email?

That was a rather anti-climatic non-ending. We still don't know exactly WTF it did, and since Laywers are now involved probably won't see a followup for months or 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?

A new Gartner report has suggested that if your business isn’t employing artificial intelligence (AI) in one form or another, you may have cause for concern. And two thirds of them are switch statements written to impress the CIO
(I've probably underestimated there)

Gartner suggests, as always, to follow the band of buzzwords, without thinking for a second about old-fashioned nonsense like ROI.
