- Ads are coming to NPM, because it can't be any worse than it is now.

This will either be an entertaining train wreck, or simply a train wreck. We'll see.
- Not sure it's tech news exactly, but the CEO of Overstock resigned after going spectacularly off his meds on live TV. (Tech Crunch)
- Intel is asserting it's dominance in CPU technology, noting that its fastest processor outperforms AMD by 3% in one specific browser benchmark unless it doesn't. (WCCFTech)

Intel: Does anyone think Ryzen 2 was faster? The point is that the value is higher, because you get nearly all the performance at a lower price. So good job, Intel, for crowing about something everyone already knew.
