A university in Toronto tore down the historic Sam The Record Man building, and promised to reinstall its beloved sign elsewhere. It took them 8 years, but they finally installed it over a major public square.

Maybe the one person left working in the State Department doesn't know how to restart a server.

So sad for most of the US where people get maybe 4 OTA channels. /s

Anyway, they're reassigning television channels in most markets to make up for this.

People in developed countries can be easily tricked, too.

Remember all the idiots who were fooled into believing that installing iOS 10 would make their iPhone waterproof?

"Hero" is the new "Premium".

It doesn't matter if he's dead, or if the case isn't relevant anymore. Who cares about its legal status. The heist captured the public imagination. The audacity of it, the lingering mystery. People will still be talking about it in 100 years, just like people still talk about wild west stage coach robberies.

Or Slashdot just became trite and boring and I only check it out for a few minutes once every week or two.

Times change, websites fade.

Wasn't that the plot of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?

It's funny. Apple had a hand in ARM's founding. They were collaborating on RISC chips with Acorn, and that was spun-off into ARM. Apple owned a decent chunk of it for a while, but I don't know when they sold that share off.

This is why you never accept a vape from Bugs Bunny.

Felder is an asshole, and you know it.

Right, I'd forgotten about the Zune's ability to "squirt" songs.

I can't believe they used that term.

I wonder what this means for Windows 10 Mobile.

The tiny but dedicated fanbase kept insisting that an x86-based "Surface Phone" was on the way "any time now", and was going to be the platform's saviour. But now there's no Atom, and I doubt a Core M is going to fit in there anytime soon.

The Xbox 360 had a PowerPC-based chip as well, named Xenon. The original devkits for it were PowerMac G5s.

The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U were also all based around PowerPC.

Sure, they might piss off a lot of OEM partners, but what are those partners going to do? Switch to Windows Phone?
