I think it's odd enough that anyone would take a flyer on a security brand with "Bear" in the name with all the "Russia! Russia! Marsha! Russia!" talk recently.
What Microsoft store? Are they really trying to push that thing again?
Come to think of it, except for Office these days, "who is Microsoft"? There really isn't any reason to run M$ OS's anymore. Even the last good reason to have Microsoft servers (for AD) is slipping away as identity providers have up'ed their game.
You haven't seen the fitness center receptionists live-blogging the fat people walking through the door, or the sales floor help tweeting complaints about their customers then.
Peak coal in China? Not according to the Chinese government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_in_China
"electricity consumption is expected to grow by 3.6-4 percent over 2016 to 2020 according to (China's Official) Thirteenth (five-year) Plan (2016–2020).[4] According to the same five-year plan, coal power capacity will be expanded from 960 GW to under 1,100 GW by the end of 2020 to meet some of the continued growth in electricity demand.[4] Indeed, in the first two months of 2016, China had added 22 GW of capacity, 14 GW of which was coal, according to the China Electricity Council.[5] "
Usual way: 1) Politician/regulator will suggest something outlandish that will clearly cripple the industry 2) Well-heeled members of he industry direct cash payments to politician/regulator and/or their families/interests 3) Politician/regulator comes back with a different proposal that locks in dominance of top 2-3 players in industry and squashes everyone else 4) Top 2-3 industry players and politicians/regulators PROFIT; everyone else heads over to Slashdot and Reddit to complain
>> developers meant to prevent bots from using third-party apps to spread spam
I thought that was the whole point of Twitter: bots posting to other bot's feeds. During my brief time in marketing, that was my general experience anyway: we'd package up some piece of clickbait, link it to an article we planted on Slashdot or similar forum, and then drop it into a bot hopper somewhere to bounce around an extended bot ecosystem, in the hopes that the occasional tweet/link would eventually get posted to a notable news source and increase our SEO midichlorians. As for anyone actually READING Twitter? That's something that only happened when we needed to retune existing bots or build new ones. Long story short, as a human, "I ain't got time for no Twitter!"
I used to work with a sales manager who talked about selling the quote-unquote double overhead gofasters to Rubes who did not understand that a working product was a standard feature. This sounds like something similar.
On the what? Don't you have Uber or taxis where you live? The future of "can't afford a car" transportation is all ride-sharing, my friend, not busses.
I can get about 15 miles away where I live, and commute even further. I like it that way, because it means that I only rarely bump into coworkers (or bosses or employees) when I'm not actually trying to work.
This summary is way too long and mumble-speak. As long as they keep pumping out 2016-era Macbooks I'll be happy. No new features are needed and I will still never have any reason to buy anything from the iStore or whatever Apple's "app store" is called today.
So...does anyone know what this Sinofsky guy is trying to say (and if it matters)?

Wot about cymeks?
For someone who's looking to go room to room with a weapon some of the current FPS are pretty handy.

So you've used Resharper too?
Than BR49. Characters and plot FTW.
Why was "Java" bad, exactly?
(Meanwhile no one is regretting moving to node.js and the like.)

I'm thinking SlashDot is not the right site for you.
Usual way:
1) Politician/regulator will suggest something outlandish that will clearly cripple the industry
2) Well-heeled members of he industry direct cash payments to politician/regulator and/or their families/interests
3) Politician/regulator comes back with a different proposal that locks in dominance of top 2-3 players in industry and squashes everyone else
4) Top 2-3 industry players and politicians/regulators PROFIT; everyone else heads over to Slashdot and Reddit to complain

1) Walk the customers through a propeller
2) Collect the slurry in a pan
3) Pump the slurry into the plane as it drains from the pan
But there are downsides to this method too, such as limited repeat business.

Still better than a bus: less puke smell, you know when it will arrive, and best of all it's faster because it's not tethered to a fixed route.
>> you could begin to feel the pipeline getting better
Um, are still talking about finances and products, Tim? (uncomfortable silence)
...is that you never need to associate a bank account or credit card with it.
>> Microsoft Stops Pushing Notifications
Yay - the first Microsoft feature anyone actually wanted! I can't wait to see this get ported to Windows X...I mean 10.
You want to "increase participation"? Fire all the editors and start fresh.

Then the UK will have it's first decent roadster.

On the what? Don't you have Uber or taxis where you live? The future of "can't afford a car" transportation is all ride-sharing, my friend, not busses.
>> 20-minute commute in Silicon Valley
What is that, 4-5 miles?
I can get about 15 miles away where I live, and commute even further. I like it that way, because it means that I only rarely bump into coworkers (or bosses or employees) when I'm not actually trying to work.
