Oh no. I wrote code in Lotus Notes that checked for "Windows 1". http://t.co/L6VNPSIZSD

Is this why Microsoft named it Windows 10?

Seemingly everyone on the Net has a theory as to why Microsoft skipped the name "Windows 9" and jumped to 10. Here's one explanation that actually makes sense.

In early 90's, in prep for an internal Lotus wargaming offsite, I wrote a "fake memo" from billg to his troops, laying out strategy/actions to blunt Notes momentum. Someone thought it was real. It leaked. Provocative memos are essential mgmt tools, but you need to be careful.

A great decision to expose SWD, @Raspberry_Pi . Microsoft, you could drive developer activity to the moon by enabling VS Code to operate very simply and naturally as a full IDE for C/C++/Python. (Plus Azure RTOS ThreadX and FreeRTOS, of course.) Thanks, @jeffsand

How small/affordable a "min access" Starlink terminal could be made, w/ intermittent coverage & limited datarate? Not just for IoT, for those at sea, for disaster relief, or for wilderness hikers. @elonmusk with 10k+ sats & open internet, this could be the next @RadioFreeEurop

I owe a debt of gratitude to David Paisley, my math teacher at Maine South. In 1969 he granted access to a Programma 101 and Tymshare GE-400. Learning to code in Basic & Fortran, a world of opportunity opened up for me. For some, early exposure can have a huge downstream impact.

Boom! The CEOs of the largest companies and nonprofits in the United States have joined forces to make computer science a basic part of the K-12 curriculum. See who’s on board:

I think there's truly huge potential in "near-ear" vs in-ear augmentation, though IMO game-changing UX innovation and impact will happen faster if you focus 80/20 on hearing-impaired vs AR scenarios. At Talko we found this to be a *passionate* community.

I just unboxed the UNO R4, R4 WiFi, motion shield. @mbanzi @arduino these are truly a work of art - both functionally and physically. Given its capabilities I'll certainly be recommending the Minima as the perfect companion to the Notecard, and vice-versa.
