Bill Gates lays out a three-point plan to rid the world of COVID-19 – and anti-vaxxer cranks aren't gonna like it

Question for Reg staff

So presumably as 'anti-vaxxers' are 'tin foil hat wearing loons', all the sensible, level-headed staff of The Reg will be in the first wave of recipients of Gates' (not a doctor) 'vaccine', yes? You can't write articles like this and not agree unequivocally to doing so.

Yahoo!'s Marissa! will! eject! with! $186m!.. $185m!.. $184m!..

To be fair, she did stop the evil practice of working from home and was a major contributor to the angle of the exclamation point in the rebranding.

So, f*ck all in effect.

Re: One day the tide will turn...

Looks like the trickle down effect so beloved of our leaders in justifying these obscene salaries is in full flow there then.

Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Update tweaked to stop you disabling app promos

It's becoming more obvious (to those that hadn't worked it out) that there was a reason they were 'giving' it away.

The question now is, if you actually pay for this spamware, will you still be bombarded with ads from their 'partners'?

Yahoo! shows! off! for! suitors! by! diving! into! red! ink!

Dear God, don't let Marissa Meyer anywhere near a position of importance again.

Bezos defends Amazon culture in letter to shareholders

I could summarise this article in four words...

Bezos is a dick.

Not really news, though.

Yahoo! kills! search! APIs!, games! and! Astrology! site!

Hopefully, Meyer will disappear into obscurity after Yahoo crashes and burns. Surely no company would ever let her near the levers of power again?

A study for future generations into how not to run a company and a lesson for future shareholders to ditch a CEO early when it's obvious they are out of their depth.

Yahoo! recruits! two! more! pallbearers!

They should have fired 'watercooler moments' Meyer years ago after it was quickly obvious she was out of her depth.

Yahoo! axes! websites! you've! never! heard! of! and! lays! off! staff!

Thank goodness Meyer sorted out those pesky workers that didn't come into the office.

I guess the dividends from all those watercooler chats will be rolling in any day now.

Activist investors want tepid Yahoo! to reboot crashed Marissa Mayer

Re: but... but...

Guess all those 'Watercooler conversations' that office-based working was going to generate didn't amount to very much then?

Microsoft chief Satya drops an S bomb in Windows 10, cloud talk

Riiiiiiiiight...

Not as if MS have ever lied before is it?

Hacked TalkTalk CEO: Dead as a Dido? Nope, she refuses to quit

She's probably just negotiating how many £millions she'll take as a payoff as we speak.

Yahoo! boss! Mayer! promises! shake-up! in! bid! to! save! her! job!

Thank goodness she stopped employees working from home - really turned Yahoo around with that stroke of genius, didn't she?

Ashley Madison hack – Tory MP Green denies registering account

It's funny just how many AM accounts will be the result of supposed 'hacking'.

Ho, ho, HOLY CR*P, ebuyer! Etailer rates staff on returns REJECTED

Stopped using them years ago...

I had a lousy experience returning something six months old a few years back and never used them again.

Can't say this piece is a surprise, have a feeling Ebuyer's days are numbered.
