Therein is the problem with all of these prescriptive theoreticians who say we would be happier with fewer choices. As someone who is routinely "Consumer A" in nearly all walks of life, I would find it inordinately frustrating

I agree about the distasteful hyperbole, but that is what the Internet and social media have become in today's outrage culture. Social media is rampant with hyperbolic reactions to the very slightest of offenses. So the tone of the

Given it may be another 30 minutes until it starts, you might have time to snapshot one of your VMs, install Flash in that VM, watch the event, and then rollback to your snapshot. Oh wait, it's starting right now.

It's not smooth, but totally usable on my i7-3770K workstation. For what it's worth, it's also fun that key elements of the text are dynamic. When I first landed on the page with noscript suppressing any script, I saw: >

I love Atari, and I can see some small similarities (the capital 'G' and the lowercase 'e'). But overall, I can't say that I agree. For what it's worth, I like the Bauhaus font a bit more.

Interesting. Is it easy to "firewall" Cortana so that it does local voice processing and connects only to external services you authorize?

Well, like I said, Windows 7 and 8 had voice transcription support built-in and it worked well on my old computers from 2009, with plenty of CPU capacity to spare. I expect a modern i3 would probably match my desktop i7 from '09.
