Adware vs Malware is an important distinction. No one here is claiming Microsoft are saints but what Samsung is doing (if true) is at best Lenovo level malicious negligence.
Wikipedia is causing controversy? Glad to hear it's still working.
On a more serious note, "Wikipedia is wrong" and "Wikipedia is doomed" really need to be separated. These clickbait headlines are getting excessively tiring, particularly if anyone is taking them at face value. A solid attempt at collecting the whole sum of human knowledge will obviously have issues given the nature of how we operate.
However, claiming some >current and developing< topic being misrepresented spells the doom of the best attempt at a concise and well-indexed source on human history, the development of our species, and the thoughts/ideals that our civilization stands on is a bit much.
What happened to all the applications and services for outsourcing HR departments in terms of payroll, benefits, ect.? -- thought there were a bunch more than Workday and ZenPayroll?
Getting a full list of those would be particularly useful.

You can make it very small to cut out almost all of these problems and it wouldn't be noticeable to any non-HF traders. It's not gotten very far in the US and is only partially supported in the EU (though I think there's something amiss with the EU proposal).
You're not supposed to save and houses are supposed to cost multiples of what you could possibly earn. Low interest rates for extended periods of time do that. Without getting overly critical of Fed policies, you can also trace a handful of the other issues in this thread to that.
Someone needs to run them through the difference between Weaknesses and Threats. They've got plenty of threats even if they make it through this and ignoring them in the SWOT is laughable.
They're useful on a personal level but not on a broader level.
When you want to listen to some Drum & Bass, you already have a personal classification of the music style and artists that you're looking for. It's going to be different from someone getting into that genre right now but if you wanted to listen to what they wanted to listen to, I'm guessing you already have some personal term for it (Nu, progressive, modern vs classic, ect.).
When talking to other people and using music services, that all breaks down and you usually start going by similar artists or meaningful tags. Similar artists is an inefficient way to classify your music (both in your mind and in your folders) and meaningful tags works but requires significant effort
to actually keep them 'correct' (and if they're not correct and just for personal use, you might as well use genre's).
I think it's a bit overpriced (20-30$) but beyond that, different people value different things in their keyboards. This should not be a revelation to anyone whose been in an office pissing match over the subject.
If it made cool clicking noises, I'd be more interested. It makes a standard quiet cherry noise. Now if it was a complex white ALPS switch or something completely new, we'd be talking something genuinely interesting (or at least actually rare/difficult to come by).
I don't understand the fascination with clear/grey switches - blue/green's really aren't that loud compared to buckling spring's and you get the full double-dip feedback. If you're in a super-quiet office then I agree, it makes a difference - but why would you have an open office that didn't have a good deal of collaboration/talking/acceptance of noise?
The disable switches on the back of the keyboard are a very nice touch but beyond that, there is a lot from the ad that's standard fare for higher end keyboards these days. That price really needs to go down by 20-30$ for it to stay competitive beyond the initial rush of Atwood fans.
It looks like it's the real thing in terms of being able to do a lot of useful quantum calculations that can't be done as easily with classical computers. It's not the full deal in terms of being able to do everything a 'true' quantum computer should be able to do - sounds like it might be able to help the NSA out with their data problem though.
