"Man-eating Nile beasts."

Slightly disappointing sensationalism from the BBC.
I'm also concerned by their increased use of tweets from random people in their new stories.
Yeah, but there's nothing I can do about that.

20-year-old Tomita Mayu was stabbed in the neck, chest, and back by a crazed fan just before she was supposed to go on stage; currently in critical condition. She apparently reported to police a crazed fan was sending her obsessive messages on social media. Wonder if it was the same guy or if someone out there is really upset they didn't get to stab her first?

Pressing the 'x' to close the pop-up agrees to the update ? That's some virus level of pop-up scummery. Poor show.
Oh eM Gee. How is it that Microsoft keeps screwing up? Are they trying to scare away their userbase?
I've been slowly getting away from Microsoft products as much as I can. I really have no intention of buying an Xbox One, I stopped using Microsoft Office and started using Apache because my options were: Get office 360 which costs $60 for just Word and Excel, or $80 for Word, Excel, and Access (who TF uses Access, really?), or $100 for Word, Excel, Access, and Powerpoint...oh and you'll have to pay us again to continue to use them in a year or else they'll brick because we charge annual fees on office now.
My wife said no to the Windows 10 update 3 times, the other day we came home to the Congratulations your Windows 10 update is 98% complete!' We chose the 'Do not change my default program' option...and She's spent the last week changing the default program for every single file she uses as they come up.
