That picture looks like MS Multiplan

What would happen if you plugged their cable into the mains line? Would 120 to 220 volts do anything to their systems?

I think they just found a way to sell more CPU's, I didn't see anywhere if AMD is also suffering from this bug as well.

I thought this was supposed to an apology for win8, funny you cant upgrade from win8 to win10.

Think I will wait until just before the end of the free option and then decide if it is worth upgrading, I will let everyone else Alpha, Beta, Charlie test the software for me and see after several patches if its what I want to start using.

I am wondering how well that printer will print in zero g, there has to be some separation from print head to printed surface, wonder if that will make a difference in orbit.

Mork has signed off for the last time, rest in peace Robin.

Why I don't trust the cloud, where your dependent on others or a internet connection to work or see your data. How is it anything other than a revenue stream for these companies? If I don't back up my files on my computer its my fault, letting them sit out there is another thing.

There are plenty of times in the events of human history that we should probably not have gone there,gun powder, nuclear fission come to mind, playing around with DNA is probably the next one that will probably end with massive amounts of oh crap, wish we hadn't done that, after it escapes from some lab somewhere.

We have had teleporters for years, ever since the first clothes dryer made a sock jump to another random clothes dryer, how else would you explain all the single socks?

Talking computers

I thought by now we would have moved onto talking computers, hell with typing everything, the computer on the Enterprise (star trek) albeit fake could pick up on when it was asked a question. We already have the communicators, phasers, lasers, much is known about anti-matter, and other suggested future technology from the show, now where is my talking computer. If you say how ever would it determine when you were talking to it, how about ctrl+v when you wish to address it. If Apple can come out with Siri on a phone why cant anyone else come out with something for the desktop. I can imagine a day when you would just tell the computer to go find pictures of Miley Cirrus swinging on a wrecking ball and get shown a list like a google search for pictures and videos. Even better for bonus points would be to ask you if you want video, or pictures.

Get them while they're hot!

Google balloon?

None of these schemes will do anything for us the market if they don't get used. I keep hearing these stories on here and Physorg.com but never hear about them being produced, just experiments in a lab somewhere.

Still looks like a shoebox

It looks like just about any other electric car, you cant get much when you have to design it to be as efficient as they have to be to conserve battery power. I imagine if you use the heater your travel distance is severely hampered too.

Make it look Apple official

Just make it when the virus asks to download something fake like its a official update from Apple, say its Siri for desktop, or even charge the users for it, 2 birds with one stone, fanbois will pay for you to infect their computers.
