Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner.

Is OOXML Artifically Complex? A while ago, the official blog of LibreOffice published a provocative article: “An artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool.” Its target is Microsoft’s XML-based file formats — the Office Open XML (OOXML). The article alleges that, although Microsoft put its Office formats through standardization, the spec is engineered to be so complex that it obstructs interoperability with third-party software.
