It's astonishing how many virtual keyboards omit the arrow keys. I was delighted to see them on the Windows 8 virtual keyboard.

I am familiar with the term as it was used prior to computers. But the BBC's insistence on qualifying a database as a "cyber-database" in 2015 is gross anachronism the likes of using the phrases "touch-tone phone"

"Cyber databases" was the clincher for me. At least all of the others are using the adjective to (ostensibly) distinguish from a more general version of the same. A cyber-attack versus a straight-up physical attack. A cyber-int

While I get the consensus opinion of the other people who have replied to your comment, I think you and I feel another missed opportunity here. A notable audience for Microsoft is the PC enthusiast—people who use multiple 4K monitors conne

I feel the marginalization of traditional (local) accounts is a mistake. Microsoft is, in my opinion, squandering an opportunity to be the major industry player to disintermediate today's "cloud" and give control back to indi

You might be right, but does Windows 10 Pro include any features that have previously been exclusive to Windows 8/8.1 Pro, such as Bitlocker and Remote Desktop? The wording of the blog post is intentionally obfuscated to not name the

Although, back in the day, I think we would have called that icon a "grip" since it appears to have been styled after a grip floor. In fact, I still call that icon a grip because it looks more like a grip than a hamburger. I&#x2

Living in Hawthorne, I really should be there in person, but here I am watching it in a low-definition Flash stream. So be it. Just quarantine it in a VM in the same way you would iTunes or any other quasi-malicious software.

I have attempted to approximate what I call PAO on today's existing technologies by using application servers at my home and at a data center. However, I think you're missing the notion of multiple concurrent views of singular ap

I am under the impression that it's possible to compile Wrk for Windows [1], although I have not personally done so. Incidentally, I've not read the linked article, but skimmed the first few paragraphs. The numbers of requests pe

This gets incrementally closer to an ideal computing model I call "personal application omnipresence" [1]. Notably it brings a presumably-standard means for applications to scale their views to myriad input/output capabiliti

Indeed. There are disadvantages. I guess what you're saying is that my Surface would charge more slowly on a pad than it will with its wire? So be it. I still want the convenience of wireless charging for my tablet/laptop. Here

Many Lumia phones have Qi built in. This started happening over two years ago. I personally would never buy a phone without built-in wireless charging today.

True. They probably should have used some Lumias and Android phones since there are plenty of those that look sufficiently glamorous for these photo shoots and won't leave observant technical audiences feeling misled. That said, wirel
