Hello Microsoft, welcome to the Laptop race … Microsoft Surface Book
Microsoft just introduced its first-ever laptop on Tuesday, called Surface Book.
Weighing in at a little over three pounds, Surface Book is the fastest 13-inch laptop ever created, and it’s two times faster than Apple’s MacBook Pro, according to Microsoft.
We’ve tested the computer for a few minutes at Microsoft’s launch event, and it definitely feels like a strong competitor to Apple’s MacBook Pro.
It will be available October 26 starting at $1,499.
A great discussion on OS use in Computer Science education
What makes Windows a “bad” OS? Why does the computer science world force Linux on you?
I have worked on linux in school and I don’t hate it but I don’t see what it has that windows doesn’t (so far). The differences I do see on linux are manually done things, things that are automated on windows. Besides being free and no viruses(because I have avoided viruses my whole life through smart web searching/downloading) what are advantages over windows? *Also why can’t a computer scientist like me fix the problems windows does have*? I mean isn’t that the purpose of my degree? I’m sorry if I sound like a windows fanboy but I just want a totally performance/convenience based reasoning.
*I know windows is closed source but let’s just say I mean to join Microsoft and help fix it*

Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI
With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It’s an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.
