Microsoft de-cloaks Windows 8 push-button lifesaver

Well, congratulations.

In other words, Microsoft has invented the separate /home partition (the WIndows equivalent would be one disk for data, one for system), after everyone else has had that for decades. Congratulations.

Microsoft will beat Linux clouds at their own game - with open source

Base: 81 people?!?

Might as well write "we pulled the data out of our posterior, because we don't have the foggiest about statistics". Eighty-one people are a representative sample now?

Poll: One in six interrupt bonking to answer mobile

Selection bias, anyone?

There is not a red flag huge enough for the selection bias in this study. To reformulate: "One in six people __who are likely to take dodgy surveys__ interrupt bonking blah blah blah"; not a very representative sample IMNSHO.

However, I'll bet this will be hawked as an infallible scientific study in the papers tomorrow.
