Google+ shuts down April 2, all data will be deleted
Google's failed Facebook clone will be scrubbed from the Internet.
Google's support page details exactly how the G+ shutdown will go down, and it's not just freezing posts on the site. The whole site will be taken down, and everything will be deleted. "On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts," the page reads.

It's odd because I actually liked Google+. I enjoyed the layout and how it was meant to be used. But then they made some changes to Facebook-ify it and it just got super weird.

I'm always amazed that it is still around. I always found it awful, and deserted.

I don't believe it was ever fixed. This issue is still open.

Apple revokes Google’s enterprise iOS certificate, shuts down internal apps
Google and Facebook were both caught violating Apple's TOS, and now both are banned.
Apple's Developer Enterprise Program allows developers to distribute iOS apps outside of the walled garden of the App Store but only under the condition that they limit this distribution to employees only. Yesterday, news broke that both Google and Facebook had built data-sucking "research" apps on Apple's enterprise app program and that both companies were caught distributing these apps to research participants outside the company. Facebook's app program was public first and was banned by Apple, with the company reiterating that "Any developer using their enterprise certificates to distribute apps to consumers will have their certificates revoked."

Itanium’s demise approaches: Intel to stop shipments in mid-2021
Intel's grand adventure with smart compilers and dumb processors comes to an end.
The Itanium 9700 line of four- and eight-core processors represents the last vestiges of Intel's attempt to switch the world to an entirely new processor architecture: IA-64. Instead of being a 64-bit extension to IA-32 ("Intel Architecture-32," Intel's preferred name for x86-compatible designs), IA-64 was an entirely new design built around what Intel and HP called "Explicitly parallel instruction computing."
