Some people (not you) forget that "energy" is not always synonym with "electricity". So whereas headline is accurate, the whole of the article is not so.
I always thought that the reason why the makers of computers with pre-installed Microsoft Windows advertised their products as computers that run Windows was Microsoft paying them to do so. Am I missing something?
Desktops do not matter. Nobody is ever going to ditch Windows for a Google platform in desktop, so there is no reason to create a service to lure users to it.
I'm anti-piracy, but that's not reason for me to rant about it. I'm also anti-DRM, and pro unrestricted access to any form of media or info under a fair price, so you can bet I've lost all hopes of having the world shaped according to my views.
By the way, is it late to deprecate the pistol emoji and introduce the sports riffle instead? You know, if we are to have just one weapon emoji, at least let it be the sports one.
Those more enlightened* countries won't act because their populations are too distracted with social media, television, sports matches and the like. It looks like China has evolved to adopt this more refined form of mass control, letting the masses too entertained to rebel, while they contribute with data for mass surveillance. The next step is breaking the Communist Party in two, so as to give people an illusion of choice and one more thing to crave for.

Well, in 2018, the 2006 MacBook will be 12 years old. 18.04 is an LTS release and will have 5 years of support and security updates. By the time there are no more security patches, the machine will be 17 years old and software exploits will be the least of the user's concerns if it is still his/her main machine.
I have a 2009 32 bit processor Sony Vaio P for which the best option I found so far is Linux Mint, which is based on Kubuntu. The form fator of this model was abandoned long ago, so I have no appropriate alternative in size and weight (no tablet is not good enough). By the time the aforementioned MakBook be 17 years old, my Sony Vaio P will be 14, yet I have to admit that my least concern will be software exploits.
Super Mario Bros. was based on some of the tenets of the Church of Subgenius, especially the concept of de-evolution.
It became a flop because the Church of the Subgenius is a religion of weirdos.

That's because the major religions are not for profit. The only religion that is for profit is the Church of Subgenius, a minority group.
Nobody is embarrassed about having been a child. Having pictures of oneself scattered online is not inherent to being a child.
I believe this over exposition of children online is called "evolution"
I have a better word for you: "de-evolution". Also: just because something is shining new, it does not follows that it it better.
That one, exactly.
It has been some years since specialists began to warn about the dangers of over exposition of children online.
Thanks. Now the GP makes sense.
Don't be so pedantic, "hubris" comes from Ancient Greek, "hybris", therefore it is perfectly acceptable to write it with a y.

I believe the summary. What I don't believe is Google.
More accurate translation: they will prosecute anyone who talks bad about government officials, rich people or the police.

Now for real. How does the new proposed fifth force of nature compares to the other proposals? A not so quick search on Google's pages behind the first one results in articles dated as early as 1986 and before. Your results may vary: https://www.google.com.br/#q=fifth+force+of+nature&safe=strict&tbas=0&start=130

It's because passwords look too outdated. Lets substitute something lean and brand-new that will last no more than a decade.
The Cubans couldn't understand when the North Koreans said it was for NADA.
Speaking of cars, Apple is the exact opposite of Tesla. (...) Tesla sells near-science-fiction tech and loses $15,000 per car.
(...) Let's hope Tesla never transitions to that business strategy.
But how does Tesla generates profit?
So does Snapchat have those horrible filters too?
Fun fact: Instragram comes from Portuguese estragar, "to ruin", "to botch", "to stale".

They will probably fire some of those employees that are paid to spread pro gov't BS.

The bug you can't fix will soon become a feature.
This study makes all the precautions put in place around those air-locked computers seem less of paranoia.
