I believe the fact that you can collaborate on documents online with a suite that offers you quite high level of compatibility with legacy documents is relevant. Also, a big player in the software industry implemented something significant.

It's probably much more relevant to hackers that how important role India plays in controlling AIDS (or, for that matter, the daily BTC/Tesla/etc. posts).



Huh. I don't follow news about India/AIDS or BTC, but Tesla is a startup IIRC.

Are you honestly saying that you cannot see how smart people with excellent computing could possibly do anything to help with significant problems such as HIV/AIDS or world hunger or food insecurity?

Are you really only interested in news about the latest cat-photo startup?

(I'm not dismissing those web sites. People have fun, and winning a start-up lottery gives that person money to spend on good science.)

That's not a good thing, especially here.

or:
