Why hasn’t Microsoft ever gotten its security act together? The fundamental problem is that Windows was never, ever meant to work on a network. It worked as a standalone PC operating system.

Twitter users thanked Google for the warning, saying they received a notification of the oncoming earthquake just a few seconds before they could feel the ground shaking....

At the most basic level, digital transformation involves using digital technologies to change a business process to become more efficient or effective.
