He also adds: “I’ve enjoyed learning how to use a Mac, it’s something I never did in the first part of my career and it’s nice seeing what both sides can do because I do different things with different machines.” The Intel CEO also talks a little on the future of the mobile phone, “to become nothing more than a very portable computer”. He touches on Intel’s new Atom processor, which he describes as “about as fast as the fastest laptop in the world was a couple of years ago but very low power....

Mad Men was a fascinating exploration of the advertising world in 1960s New York. The unique setting was engrossing as the show dealt with complex personal relationships and characters with more than a few personal demons. The show excelled at depicting this era in a very accurate way, sometimes to the point of feeling uncomfortable. The injustices and inequalities of the time were not hidden in the show’s storylines. However, the series also embraced some more outlandish storytelling which was often surprising and entertaining....

While Xnor.ai was best known for its ability to detect people in smart camera feeds, Macworld suggests that Apple’s main motivation for buying the company may have been to make Siri smarter.

At her old school, Phoebe learned potions with Professor Snape… or she would have, if the Magic School Bus characters had attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! The Friz would have felt right at home alongside Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall, and she probably would have been BFFs with Rubeus Hagrid. A trip to the magical school where Harry Potter and his friends learn spells would make for an incredible episode where the bus could dive into the Pensieve, some Polyjuice Potion or the Goblet of Fire itself....

It’s an example of Conscious Controls that only appear when needed. When you move the mouse to the edge of a Window, there is a slight hesitation while the scrollbar appears.

If you use a lot of different Microsoft services, it can get confusing sometimes remembering all your credentials (passwords and usernames) for each one. Sure, you could just use one universal username and password for everything, but that poses an obvious security risk. That’s where Windows 7 comes in with its Windows Vault that will help manage your credentials for you. And it can even create backups. The bad news is that Windows Vault will only work with applications that are designed to communicate with and pull the information from the vault....

Both agree, however, that Apple’s U.S. market share has fallen somewhat year-on-year, IDC showing a drop from 11 to 10.3 percent, while Gartner’s numbers show a decline from 11....

While Mad Men doesn’t really have an outright ’evil’ character throughout the entire series, Pete Campbell is certainly the main character who can be most associated with that role. While he does have some good qualities, there are many moments when he really does get under the skin of the audience. Everything Pete does seems to be from a good place in his own head. However, the vast majority of his decisions are incredibly selfish and with his rise in business in mind, no matter how much hurt it costs other people around him....
