Hopefully, but it's early days. Only SpaceX have achieved much yet. Boeing and Blue Origin aren't doing great (yet?). Hopefully Boeing Starliner can start shipping astronauts to, and more importantly, from the ISS. Hopefully Blue

No, you don't have to touch type to be a programmer, or a good programmer. But I highly recommend to anyone reading this to actually go and learn touch typing. It's free and there are lots of websites out there. In terms of input

My issue is of unfairness: you shouldn't do something to one company you haven't done to others. Microsoft has been a too big company since the 1990s.

The slogan "Tax the rich" is one of those ideas that seems straightforward and appealing at first glance, but it quickly falls apart under closer scrutiny. It's a simplistic solution often promoted by those who lack a deeper

I've run Ubuntu on my home computer since I was about 16. Now I'm 40. It has been great. Some frustrations. But a good experience. I'm surprised that more people don't take the leap and run Ubuntu.

Interesting! Could have been worse: if he played for both teams at the same time he would have had to hit the ball and then tried to catch it. I wonder if a footballer has every played both legs of a Champions League knockout game for diffe

- I hope those astronauts get home safe. - Great if the Starliner can get them home eventually. - If not I am sure SpaceX can ferry them home. - Long term it's good for NASA to have multiple options for sending crew to space

How do Microsoft get away with being a Monopoly?! (And don't tell me about the wrist slap they got in the 1990s.)

This is great news. I expect this will open up many more routes. And hopefully more profit.

Can't Google come up with a better name than "Google TV Streamer"?! Give me a break... Using AI to predict what people want to watch won't work. I use Chromecast and what I want is a rechargeable remote control. I want

I wonder how much AI the train companies would have to install to work out that bad train service makes passengers unhappy. Maybe A/B test having the trains run on time.

This is nasty vindictive stuff from government. Taxing successful companies to fund their pet projects that the state thinks we should watch.
