Smartphones obsolete within 5 years, says studyA smartphone in the hand, it's really not that practical. For example, not when one is driving a car or cooking.
It is so much more practical to put an AI robot in your car seat so you can call your robot. Also very handy for making it cook bacon.

Windows 10 - Taking the PlungeI don't mind the new UI and all, but some important things seem slower (at least on my laptop). Sometimes when you click the start button, it does not open immediately. PC searching functionality seems slower as well (even if I disable the web search).

Enigma Software ripoffI'd say that's a pretty serious name.

Covering letterAll the jobs I've gotten in the past were jobs that I applied to without cover letters. That being said, I know some employers do look specifically for cover letters and it is something that distinguishes between other candidates, especially those that don't have cover letters. I suppose the higher senior positions would definitely require a cover letter (I guess that means I'm not at the senior level :^) ). However at the same time, it is a hit and miss because if you screw up the cover letter, there's a good chance they won't even take a look at the resume (the real "meat" of your application). From what I know, cover letters are supposed to be a brief intro of yourself explaining why you think you would be a good fit for the job and their company, as well as mentioning any relevant experience that especially qualifies you. But personally I think if you don't sound genuine and are using excessive verbage/phrasing to make your experiences "fit" the role, they can really detect that and it comes on as a turn off.

Volkswagen cheat switch #2I'm not sure if covering it up would have saved them much. They were pretty much caught and exposed on the get go by EPA. It's like saying you didn't take the cookie from the cookie jar while your hand is still in it.

Seven to TenMe and my colleagues get that sometimes too. I guess opening up that start window must read a lot of data and render a lot of objects due to the new tile portion.

Do we really need the Internet?Perhaps we don't need money either... you know we can all just work together, and trade sheep for cows, apples for oranges... What are these paper notes with some random dude on it anyways...

TSA confiscated cellphone battery chargerCould be outright theft, and nothing to do with regulations at all. Airport employees in the past have been caught stealing[^] and digging through passenger luggage.

Switch boolean.... (reinventing if, unnecessarily)So better way is this?
FirstControl.Enabled = enabled;
SecondControl.Enabled = enabled;or better yet, MVVM would help if applicable to the app.

Aaargh! I had to use IEDon't know if you have tried this, but you can temporarily re-enable NPAPI in Chrome v42 by going to:
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
1. Make sure NPAPI is Enabled (make sure it is not greyed out) 2. Restart browser Of course, by v45 (approx Sept), even this backdoor will be sealed up eventually. -
Music banned, office morale de-enhanced..!?I'm still trying to find out how to not get startled by someone while wearing headphones. Happens almost every time since my group is in an open area with all our backs facing the center.
