It is, of course, not going to, at least not for many years; however, the schadenfreude associated with the distress of this asshole company will last for a while.
Wolfram was supposed to become the new Einstein. He burnt himself out more than two decades ago, accomplishing quite little in academia, becoming instead a predatory businessman who takes credit on the work done mostly by others.
In terms of the massive size of the galaxy, the closest distance of this rock to Earth and the distance from Pluto to the Sun are pretty much the same.
It's the levels of management. Management does very little of use, and so do managers. They are of course aware of that, and they have to create tasks the purpose of which is nothing but justify their jobs. They also want more management, for there is strength in numbers: it is very easy to find out what management position(s) are entirely useless when you have few of them; when you have many, it becomes a much more difficult issue.
This will come to nothing. If they are lucky, they will scrap a ridiculously expensive and negligible niche application. More likely, in a few weeks time, nobody will remember it, like the hundreds of other breakthrough announcements previously published here. Come on, prove wrong; make me look like a fool.
I have got my smartphones from small, relatively unknown companies. Why? First, because they do most, and have most of the capabilities, of what big brand, snazzy phones do, at a small fraction of the price. Two, because they tend to keep customizations and bloatware down to a minimum. The price to pay is less frequent OS updates - but, then again, they are such good value, that buying a new one every so often is not a big deal. The likes of Samsung, Sony, etc. won't get a single cent from me any time soon, when it comes to smartphones.
Microsoft will support Windows 10 alone in these new processors. I.e., as usual, sticking it to its customers. Why not? After all, they keep coming back for more.
Although it might have been more useful for him to invest that money to provide toilets for the more than 600 million Indian citizens who lack them. Well, at the very least they will be able to use their phones while taking a shit in some public lot.
Noether's theorem applies to relativity and proves that conservation of momentum happens in relativity.
Noether's theorem is a direct consequence of empirical properties of space-time: space-time homegeneity and isotropy. It is just as fundamental result as relativity, maybe even more so.
For three reasons. One, as many have pointed out, because they knew they were not in real danger. Two, because they were not exposed to the levels of radiation they would on Mars. Three, because the gravity was Earth's, not Mars'. This was an interesting exercise, but it probably allowed NASA to iron out only the easy problems. The difficult ones they will have to face during the actual mission.
They already put a satellite in Mars orbit... and only spent $74 million putting it there. Who knows, they might go for a rover next.
As long as it does not involve humans, they are fine. Once you put humans in the picture, they will have to develop toilet technology - something that they yet have to crack.

It's Samsung that we are talking about.
Yet again.
Because MS want's to attract developers to it's Azure cloud services.
Impressive that you managed to go through school without understanding and learning something that basic.
And while I am at it, the enjoyment will increase once Samsung starts being hit with lawsuits left and right.
Anyone else notice when a giant US company is struggling, it's competition suddenly does something insanely stupid?
No. It may have happened on occasion but by no means all the time. Coincidences, that's all.
Samsung is a pretty despicable company, when it comes to support and customer attention. Also, they load their phones with bloatware and plain junk.
I despise Samsung - not as much as I despise Microsoft, but plenty. I am therefore pretty happy that this is happening to them.

Somebody - or something - does not not the first thing about football. Or soccer, as it is called this side of the pond.

Microsoft smart.

I'm on a Windows Phone, actually.
Behold an endangered species if I ever saw one. What is its current global market share, less than 1%?

Calling it Feng Shui has a good ring to it - like Feng Shui, this is seems to be an overhyped PoS.

But, why? Why does anyone want such a thin laptop, other than for boasting to own the thinnest laptop in the world?

I do not have to work with it.
This whole thing is playing havoc with its (relative) coolness reputation.
