Micro-evolution is defined as changes (mutation) or loss of DNA. This happens all the time, much to the chagrin of anti-biotic researchers. Macro-evolution is defined as addition to the DNA (new information never before seen on that oranis

He's saying the task to deploy ISDN in the 1990's was minuscule compared to what is required to roll out fiber to everyone today. It's like comparing government oranges to private Teslas.

Microsoft deservedly lost because they failed to innovate. But that isn't the case with graphics, where they have been at the forefront of innovation for well over a decade now. OpenGL has historically lagged behind DirectX in terms o
