While I love Console2, I think I'm ready to switch as I've just been turned on a NEW contender in the Windows Console Wars. It's ConEmu and it's insane (in a good way.) It's also actively developed. You had me at Norton Commander.

In short, if you try to authenticate to a MySQL server affected by this flaw, there is a chance it will accept your password even if the wrong one was supplied. MySQL, YourSQL... everyone's SQL if they try long enough.

Good developer is an artist, a craftsman who enjoys the process of creation. Bad developer considers himself as a programmer, responsible for generating lines of code... What do you think separates the good developers from the bad?

While Apple’s Mountain Lion has been coolly waiting for its chance to pounce on Apple’s website, Craig Federighi announced at WWDC 2012′s opening Keynote that the next big cat will be available next month (no specific date given) for only $19.99 from the Mac App Store. More iCloud. More sharing. More notifications... for more money.

Two hundred must be a magic number for Apple engineers and executives – it’s the number of new features to be found in OS X Mountain Lion, due in July, and it’s also the number of enhancements Apple has announced for iOS 6, which was unveiled today at the WWDC keynote address. Coming soon to an iOS device near you.

Today’s keynote at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference highlighted a number of new features that the company has added to its mobile operating system. And while a number of updates will make life easier for users, there are also some new features that will compete directly with developers who build for the iOS platform. WWDC is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Traditional usability guidelines propose that error messages should be rationally informative. However, error messages are also inherently brand messages. Branding seeks to create emotional responses to products, and failure evokes emotional responses. Current failure reflects backwards to prior experiences and forward to prospective experiences, and the form of an error message is indicative of the the brand’s sensitivity to the user experience.

If you follow the world of Android tablets and phones, you may have heard a lot about Tegra 3 over the last year. Nvidia's chip currently powers many of the top Android tablets, and should be found in a few Android smartphones by the end of the year. It may even form the foundation of several upcoming Windows 8 tablets and possibly future phones running Windows Phone 8. So what is the Tegra 3 chip, and why should you care whether or not your phone or tablet is powered by one? Are 4 + 1 cores better?

Well they are two of the biggest online advertisers, so I'd be surprised if they weren't.

During the Pocono 400 NASCAR race, Twitter ran its first TV ads promoting Hashtag Pages. Are we witnessing the birth of a viable advertising strategy? [ITworld]

At least they didn't have the cars tweet automatically when certain events during the race occured, else #TurninLeft would rapidly become one of the most overused hashtags.

A few weeks ago, we shared our plans for the Express editions of Visual Studio 2012. As we've worked to deliver the best experience with Visual Studio for our platforms with Windows 8, Windows Phone, and for Web and Windows Azure, we heard from our community that developers want to have for Windows desktop development the same great experience and access to the latest Visual Studio 2012 features at the Express level.
Today, I’m happy to announce that we will add Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop to the Visual Studio 2012 family. This will bring to the Visual Studio Express family significant new capabilities that we’ve made available in Visual Studio 2012 for building great desktop applications.
They listened. It's back.
cheers,

I don't want new facilities.
I don't want a new interface.
I just want the elephanting thing to work properly, and for MS to fix some of the annoying bugs that have been in there for at least the last two revisions! For example, being able to derive a user control directly from an abstract class without the designer coughing up blood!

Perhaps, but by "Desktop" do they mean the real desktop we all know and love or is it the dreaded Metro Desktop of Sesame Street flat colours and tiled blocks for kiddies with no brains (i.e. Marketing people) to play with?

Real desktop. The lego version already had an Express release.

Magenta is an implementation of Darwin/BSD on top of the Linux kernel. It is made up of a number of kernel and userland components that work together. It is fully binary compatible with iPhone OS 5.0 (as in, it uses the same binary format). I bet you won't find this on the App Store.

Getting our hands on the source code of such a ground breaking engine is exciting. Upon release in 2004 Doom III set new visual and audio standards for real-time engines, the most notable being "Unified Lighting and Shadows". For the first time the technology was allowing artists to express themselves on an hollywood scale. Even 8 years later the first encounter with the HellKnight in Delta-Labs-4 still looks insanely great. Your inside-the-code game guide.

At Princeton and the University of California at Berkeley, two researchers are trying to shed some light on why some programming languages hit the big time but most others don’t. After all, new programming languages arrive all the time. But few ever reach a wide audience. Why have we not been reliably able to improve on C?
