All Microsoft have to say is "Richer people than you choose our products" and every CTO will shower them with money.

If it does make the PC into a thin client, it will be a boon to linux since a microsoft-spec thin client will be 64 cores, 512GB ram and 16TB SSD. Probably with a GPU that puts current gaming rigs to shame

God Damn! I KNEW it!!!

But does it, though? Does it really fill my field of vision with super crisp pixels, or is it like wearing a sixties scuba mask or looking through binoculars?
The demand for VR is like the demand for a flying car, every few years someone glues cardboard wings on a Camry and says "Look, we finally made a car with wings! Give us money!"

After removing the charger, headphone socket, SIM card and other things, they have finally removed the phone itself. Presumably one can now simply send Apple a few hundred dollarpounds a month and not have to faff with any devices. Hurrah!

Oops! I am a silly sausage. Sorry.

FWIW I oppose eSIMs because they need the co-operation of the vendor to swap around. If, for instance, I have no or intermittent data and want to troubleshoot the problem, I can quickly swap a SIM between handsets and find out which is the culprit.

It is quite simple. Instead of buying or borrowing a working phone and swapping the sim card, you just need to take an entire Apple phone store with you wherever you go, then you just walk in (during working hours, of course) and have them move the eSim over to the replacement device. You are just making a mountain out of a molehill.

They now call them 'driverless' cars instead of autonomous cars or self-driving cars, but yet again we see that a lot of the time they are merely remote-controlled cars.

And out of the woodwork will come the shills shouting about 'self-driving cars are already safer than human drivers', while avoiding the question of "how can they be better than human drivers when they hand over to human drivers for the tricky bits"?

They are still in development, how safe will they be when they are commoditised and are handing off the tricky decisions to the lowest-bidder call center and their sensor lenses are getting scratched and dirty because maintenance would eat into profit?

The obvious next evolutionary step is big heavy armoured military sats launched from vast rockets. Mr President, we cannot allow a vast rocket gap!

You bastard!

I have no idea what an Aztec looks like but this still made me laugh. Bravo.

Companies don't give a crap who dies, but they do care about spending money on court cases and countering adverse publicity. They will have to spend more to build smokescreens and deniable middlemen and this cost will be passed on as higher prices for russia.

Dad, can I have a few million ?

What for?

I wrote a price comparison app?

An evil price comparison app, that's my girl!

No, dad. Just a price comparison app. With AI.

Evil AI?

Not particularly. Not more than usual.

But you will be teaching it to be evil? To bring pain and suffering and anguish and despair? To LIE? TO CRUSH ALL WHO DARE TO...

Geez, dad, just forget it!

The guy mentioned email addresses, so maybe it is less easy to infer capitalisation?

Just how many tomatoes can a person pick, and how much are they paid for that?
I bought tomatoes yesterday. 16 tomatoes weighing 250g and costing £1. Do your own conversions.

How much of the retail price is the picking cost? Minimum wage is about £12 or something and I could pick a heck of a lot of tomatoes in an hour.
