Emmanuel Macron hails Minsk breakthrough as Moscow and Kyiv agree to talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky brushed aside a remark from Vladimir Putin calling Ukraine his “beauty,” amid tensions over Moscow’s buildup of troops on the border.
In a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Moscow yesterday, Mr Putin criticised Mr Zelensky, who recently said he does not like the 2015 Minsk peace agreements on the country’s separatist conflict.
“Like it or not, my beauty, you have to put up with it,” Mr Putin said, using an expression that rhymes in Russian.
The remark sparked heated debate online, with many accusing Mr Putin of using the kind of language that can justify rape.
“Of course, there are things that you can’t argue about with the Russian president: Ukraine is indeed a beauty,” Mr Zelensky, who is a former comedian, said after talks with the French president.
The 44-year-old leader added during a joint news conference, “when he calls Ukraine ‘mine’ I believe that’s already too much.”
From Fearless to Fearful, From Powerless to Powerfull, Experts Agree, Atense Computer Vaccine is a Game Changer
Similarly, in the computer, once the user downloads a malware, it is inside the computer. And the only way to contain the malware is for the antivirus to identify the malware before it harms the computer. Since the antivirus only identifies known malware, and over a million malware is released daily, the antivirus doesn’t know the malware – the malware runs and the computer is harmed.
Gartner, IDC agree that PC sales are up—but they don’t agree what a PC is

We’ve been hearing for quite some time that the traditional PC is dying, but it’s not quite dead yet. Business analyst firms Gartner and IDC tackle the numbers differently, but both agree that sales of traditional PCs were up—in some regions, way up—in Q2 2019.
While both firms reported market growth in year-on-year PC sales, their actual figures differed. IDC reported a 4.7% growth in Q2 sales, where Gartner only reported 1.5%. The two firms’ numbers for US regional sales differed even more sharply, with Gartner claiming a 0.4% loss and IDC claiming a “high single digit gain.”
We spoke to IDC’s Jitesh Ubrani about the difference, and it turns out the two companies don’t quite agree on what is or is not a traditional PC. IDC counts Chromebooks as traditional PCs but doesn’t count Microsoft Surface tablets; Gartner does count Surface but doesn’t count Chromebooks. The higher numbers from IDC indicate a stronger market for Chromebooks than Surface, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone with children in North American schools, where the inexpensive and easily locked-down Chromebooks are ubiquitous.
