I'm sure Microsoft is mining Office 365 as hard as Google is mining GMail. To believe otherwise seems incredibly naive.

What I am not sure I understand is why anyone cares what happens in Syria, save maybe Israel. It's not an oil producer, and it has been a shitshow, rather than a regional power for 20+ years.

I don't know about XBox, but does anybody actually use anything from the Windows Store? The only app that I have gotten is the SlingTV app, except I ditched it for the older native app, because the UWP Store one was so hideously broke

Even at the prices charged by traditional taxi companies, the service and convenience provided by Uber or Lyft is such an order of magnitude better that they should be viable competition.

In many places in rural America, it's borderline socially acceptable to drive while drinking . See "Road sodas"...

Some days, I can handle the front-end world. Other days, I just want to go back to writing old-school desktop clients in VB6 or WinForms. Mostly, this state has to do with whether the Goldbergian accretion of tooling on the front-end side

Outside of submarines and aircraft carriers, that is. We seem to have those pretty figured out. You'd think that nuclear propulsion would be a natural choice for the biggest of the enormous cargo container ships that are currently bur

Now there's a book that deserves a half-way decent reboot movie. Or maybe go with Armor instead.

Also, Panama would still be a malarial pesthole without the Canal. Reading up on the various canal schemes in different regions of that era and the French and then American efforts to build the Canal is very interesting.

There's no way that Argentina was richer than the US in 1917, when American manufacturers and bankers were busily sucking up the wealth of the Entente powers by supplying war materiel and loans. Not even ten years ago, Venezuela was th

To be honest, I'm a little bitter how many sad console ports are released on PC. Many games would be very good if they even pretended to adapt themselves to mouse/keyboard input, but the body shop responsible for the PC ports appa
