It seems to me that Google and the other big companies vastly underpay those who find and report bugs. Compared to the potential lost income. bad press, etc. that could result from these undiscovered bugs, how much much difficult & hard work is put in to find them AND how many billions these companies have in the bank, they are paying peanuts.
I agree completely with the article's assertion that Win 8.1 plus a Start Menu replacement is the much better choice from a UI perspective. With Start8 ($5, but there are other free ones), I get the full and familiar Start Menu w/ enhancements and I *never* have to visit the "Metro" side.
Win 8.1 is uber stable, fast and clean. While it would be fun to play with the Linux subsystem and BASH, they're about the only things in Win 10 that has even the slightest interest for me. I simply don't have any desire to mess witha perfectly good and highly functional OS installation. Factor in some issues with several apps and Win 10 on hi-res monitors and I plan on staying away from Win 10.
I just checked at the Download Festitval web site and there was info on the RFID tags and their use at the festival for access and purchases but I couldn't find anything about the facial recognition program. Considering that the event is on private property, doing that without explicit informed consent seems like it must violate some kind of laws? What are the laws about this like in the U.K.?
