Every time it opens, I can't scroll the file list panel because focus is automatically given to the filename input. One of the few times Windows, the OS that tries to train users to do everything with the mouse, expects them to remember how to type.
Once you're consciously aware of this, it will eat at you like a traumatic experience.
The W3C is about as toothless an organization as can be found. All the respect I had for TBL evaporated when he acquiesced to WHATWG's HTML5 insanity. EME should not even be a thing.
Yes, I would like a proper standards body (say... IEEE or ISO) to make these decisions rather than a weak consortium who only produces recommendations.
It's easy if you've been sent an all-black fax by Scientology haters (this is Hollywood after all)... just feed that back into the machine behind the punchcard to make the holes stand out.
I find it a little odd that a company the size of Microsoft can't better Chrome
This is the same company that couldn't better Netscape for 3 version of their browser, so they bought a rendering engine and built IE4 around it. That same rendering engine is the core of Edge, 20 years later.
MS is rather bad at making software, they're much better at buying into market segments they want to be in, then using their dominant market position to push "their" product. Trident, Excel, Visio, Skype, Nokia, the list goes on. Or they partner up with another company and steal the result: OS/2.
Precisely. This is the US government asserting jurisdiction where it clearly has none, using the tenuous arguments of "cyberspace has no borders" and "corporate citizenship traces back to its origin". If the SCOTUS agrees, then the US has taken a step toward delegitimizing every other nation's sovereignty, over yet another skirmish in the "war on drugs" inflated into a bogus national security concern.
No. When I go to a physical establishment, I expect that experience to include one interaction with an employee. Self-checkout is the wrong solution to a problem retailers created: not having enough checkouts open. If you want me to do use self-checkout, thereby doing an employee's job, I want an employee discount. Stop pushing this on customers as if it's some miraculous reverse-ATM.
OP needs to triage the list he has, not duplicate all his bug tracking problems. One pass to get the list cleaned up now, then implement an ongoing practice of reviewing new submissions.
Why would the CIA (or any of the alphabet agencies) move to put Trump in the White House? That's ludicrous.
If any sufficiently large group of independent US hackers wanted to get any of the 2016 candidates elected, they probably would have aided Bernie or McMullin.
This program, if implemented (snowball's chance in hell), will be answered by no one of merit. The government has been making enemies of these people it now needs for decades. This really seems like a desperate attempt to detour around several of the government's long standing and self-defeating policies.
With every new version of Windows, MS boasts (quite loudly) about how it's the most secure Windows ever... you're calling out the article author for citing that fact? Part of it is marketing to sell the upgrade, and part of it is necessary due to their lackluster security track record.
There are persistent rumors that the CIA pays MS to leave backdoors open and/or deliberately implement them, so I rather doubt that the agency had to actually find the exploit.
AirPods are a solution looking for a problem. However, the fanbois weren't completely enthused with the touchbar on the new Macbooks. I suspect the survey respondents were heavily weighted toward iPhone/iPad users, which means they're more likely blindly to buy into the Apple hype and produce 98% satisfaction, which is North Korean election type numbers.
Nor does he have an agenda, plans, or power: all he has is Presidential authority. He's doing exactly what the GOP, Bannon, Kusher, Putin, the Kochs, the Mercers, or whoever else with actual power tells him to do. He's a puppet. All he actually cares about is feeding his narcissism and exploiting his position for personal gain.
Stop attributing anything to him, he deserves neither credit nor blame.
This isn't even about cloud, this is about capturing user data so MS can mine it. MS is desperate for user data which is why they bought Skype, LinkedIn, and to a lesser degree MineCraft.
I guarantee gmail content will be used to feed ads to the desktop. That's their goal.
But that capitalist has been conditioned to only consider short term benefits, so in his head the question really is "Do you believe that H1-B workers are the best talent per dollar spent this quarter?"
With the news about AT&T, Disney, and others forcing their existing domestic tech workers to train the H1B replacements, the true purpose of the program has been revealed: replace expensive domestic workers with cheaper foreign labor. That's why the H1B program won't get fixed: it does what it's meant to do.
That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of creativity's death.
The studios primarily care about profits reaped with minimal risk. The glut of prequels, sequels, reboots, and adaptations is happening because those properties are already known among the population and have a built-in audience.
Consequently, original material gets shoved aside. Hollywood writers should be pissed because they're not being utilized to their fullest extent. At this rate, Avatar may be the last original property to originate in Hollywood.
Google has Android and all their consumer products. Apple has their vertically integrated fandom. Every social media platform is their own thing.
What do all those things have in common that MS has never been able to cultivate on their own? User data. MS decided to capture it by buying Skype and LinkedIn, both highly strategic because MS only understands business customers: those buys made sense to MS. What they don't understand, never have, and likely never will, is the end user. To capture that data, the only option they saw was to leverage their flagship product: Windows.
Ok, anyone can make a mistake, but if H1Bs built the server management system to rely on manually typed commands and no one saw the obvious risk of doing that, where does the blame really lie?
The stereotypical H1B is culturally preconditioned to serve, not analyze; they'll (attempt to) do exactly what they're told... no more, no less, with little questioning.

Yep. This would almost certainly violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

Given their track record, if facebook says they want to do this, chances are they're already doing it somewhere as a test.

Low wages is the entire point of the H1B program.
Desalinization plant.

Not exactly. If MS finds a feature in any other OS, their first consideration is whether they can implement it in a strange and/or overzealous way.
Laughable bullshit. Pai either has no clue what he's doing, is a complete industry lapdog, or both.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Wheeler publishes a rebuttal op-ed very soon.
Yes: thinness is an anti-feature, just like bezel-less screens.

Wait, this sounds familiar...
And while they're at it, matte finish on the screen. No one likes looking through their reflection in the screen to what's being displayed.
