This topic combined with Google's Project Ara gave me an idea. There is nothing stopping us from being able to "hot-swap" brains or brain modules. If you need to do a lot of work one day or need to figure out an exceptionally

They need to randomly not give out freebies that are worth a lot so that people will stop going to these conferences just for the freebies. It would be neat to have a requirement for going to the conferences, either press or verified develo

Everything in this post that even hints at being anti-Microsoft has been heavily downvoted in this post. It looks like some MS employees have been asked to do some dirty social media manipulation.
