It's been this way since its inception. The permissions model is awful. For instance, you can assign permissions to users and/or groups. Standard ACL-style permissions, right? But if you and another user to the group, you have to re-share the document/folder with that group, in order for the new user to acquire those permissions. Their suggested solution was to perform this function anytime a group's definition changed. Utterly impractical for groups larger than three, at best.
I never got tired of BYTE's amusing cover price of "32 bits". Pournelle's dispatches from Chaos Manor were always entertaining, even after he disparaged our PC utility, Automator MI.
Microsoft Windows initially adopted a pretty sane version numbering scheme. Everything was fine up to Windows 3.11, then suddenly we were at Windows 95, followed by Windows 98, a bewildering Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (designed to conflict with Windows 2000, its NT cousin?).
What a mess! What was so great about 1995?
But under the hood, the major version numbers were still ticking over. Windows 95/98/Me = Version 4, Windows XP = Version 5, Windows Vista = Version 6, and then back to numbers again with Windows 7, and the list is soon to supplemented by Windows 8. But wait! Under the covers Windows 7 is actually Windows version 6.1. That makes no sense. I mean it really doesnâ(TM)t. Apparently the reason for this is to allow software that checks for compatibility to run correctly. Specifically, software written to run in Vista will run in Windows 7. This is stupid. Windows 8 is version 6.2! Windows 9 was skipped altogether because it would interfere with version checks that already looked for Windows 95 and Windows 98.
It's not the quality of the maps that makes Google better than Apple. It's the simple matter of understanding that context-sensitive searches are essential to a good "map experience". If you search on Google Maps for a place, business, or business type; you get results for that immediate area. On Apple Maps, the search returned could be on the other side of the planet, as I found out, searching for "soup dumplings" in the middle of Chinatown, San Francisco. Apple Maps returned a location in Taiwan. Google Maps returned a place around the corner.

It's not even 2 weeks until April First, for this kind of shit.

IBM Model-M.
No contest.
That's why I wrote a Ruby app to download the images AND the metadata using the Flickr API. Will be firing that up again sometime soon.
I'm pretty sure "PRO" users have had unlimited storage for some time now.
What is different is that PRO accounts now seem to cost $50 per annum, as opposed to $25 per annum, with no improvements to service.
That's news-worthy, IMHO!
To be fair, they have been advertising this for a while, and what they're doing is bundling a subscription to Netflix.
Creepy nonetheless.

I don't know what Windows 10 is under the hood.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

Weirdly, and I still can't understand why this is, but the Daily Mail actually has a really good science section.

Not intentional.
Odd that they have 404'd.
Hard to believe traffic overload was responsible.
