Microsoft employee installs Chrome mid-presentation because Edge keeps crashing This is truly half-brutal, half-hilarious. A Microsoft employee was forced to pause his Azure presentation in the middle of a live demo session in order to install Google’s Chrome… because the company’s own Edge browser kept crashing. But here is the best part: this comical occurrence was recorded and uploaded to  YouTube  – by none other than Microsoft itself. The presentation in question aims to show potential customers how to migrate their applications and data to Redmond’s cloud service. But midway through the session, Edge crashes. This is when after a brief moment of hesitation, the employee finally gives up and charmingly informs the audience that he’ll be taking a moment to install Chrome in order to finish the demo session, which he then goes on to do.

WhatsApp beta 2.17.397 adds new emojis for fantasy, facial expressions! While I'm sure very few people have yearned for a broccoli or a cricket emoji on WhatsApp, there are plenty of other emojis that were still missing from the app compared to the Android 8.0 emoji set and Apple's latest set. The monocle, star eyes, swearing face, vomiting face, shushing face, exploding head, and many more were still missing from WhatsApp even when the app revamped its entire emojis early this month and introduced its own set. With the latest beta 2.17.397, WhatsApp brings all of these missing emojis to the table. It's true that you could receive these before in conversation, but you couldn't send them and now you can. Most of the new emojis are the ones you can see in Emojipedia's list of new 2017 emojis and depicted in the image at the top of this post. (Just forgive the face with the long nose - I thought it was new, but it isn't.) There are new facial expressions, a ...

A typical personal computer can crank out about one bitcoin every 4½ years, according ...
