Tragedy

A man received the following text from his neighbor:

"I am so sorry Rick.  I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess.  I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you're not around.  In fact, more than you.  I'm not getting any at home, but that's no excuse.  I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't happen again."

The man, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.

A few moments later, a second text came in:

"Damn autocorrect.  I meant "wifi", not "wife"."

So Microsoft lost a fight over the name and their cloud file service is now OneDrive. I'm still using Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive in addition to OneDrive. I'm too cheap to pay for a service and I don't have a favorite at the moment, so I'll just keep using all them to meet my collective needs.

Outernet

I'll just hold my breath... the Outernet:

"'There isn't a lot of raw research that is being done here; much of what is being described has already been proven by other small satellite programs and experiments. There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'"

And:

"Much like how you receive a signal on your television and flick through channels, Outernet will broadcast the Internet to you and allow you to flick through certain websites."
