That's been the argument since Windows XP and to a lesser extend Windows 98SE were released. Too much has been added! From my experience the thing I dislike about Windows 10 is how often I find myself using WidnowsKey+X to use it.

Particularly when you look at any company which is growing very fast. SolarCity would be an example where the company is growing exponentially, but the returns are spread over 20 years instead of being realized quarterly.

Having done a large personalization project (25 million+ users) with Mongo as a proof of concept I tend to agree. It's great for small POC, but it still has problems under large applications. We took tailored our data collections to take ad

Many people fail to appreciate it which is why there are so many ill behaved dogs and shows like Dog Whisperer. Meanwhile the owner is still socially inept and now they spend all their time with their dog. It's like saying you should have k

Phase 2a Model S Phase 2b Model X At some point there is supposed to be a refresh of Roadster (model R) using the model S drive train. Probably itching to make the car for the masses the Tesla Model T (trademarked?).

Not to mention, the super chargers are an excellent testing ground for newer technology like super capacitors that use graphene. They can dog food improvements to the storage mediums without actually risking it in the power train.
