It’s been almost 3 years since Microsoft’s mobile OS officially got a major reboot in the form of Windows Phone 7, and it’s been even longer since we saw the first glimpses of this modern OS, no pun intended, back at Mobile World Congress in 2010. Maybe not DOA, but it's not looking great

Maybe Windows Phone ain't doing so hot because CodeProject refuses to test their forums on WP devices to make sure it can display properly.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) voted this week to uphold its policy against implementing dotless domain names, essentially bringing an end to a push from Google to introduce and own http://search, http://app, http://blog, and http://cloud. More dots, we need more dots!

JetBrains has confirmed that its developer team is taking a momentary breather and that its free .NET decompiler dotPeek 1.1 is now ready. This final 1.1 release includes the (apparently much demanded) Export Assembly to Project function to enable saving decompiled assemblies as Visual Studio projects. "Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become."

Kent, thanks for the heads-up on the new version. I've been using first version a bit recently and a mighty fine utility it's turned out to be. It's one tool where you get far more than you paid for!

Excellent news, thank you.
As it's from JetBrains, I knew it would be great, and the future of Reflector still has me nervous.

I use to disable automatic updates for anything. Well, that means, I have to do that manually from time to time, but in the end, that saves a lot of trouble.

Smartphones, tablets and other gadgets get updated incredibly fast these days. If you want to stay on the cutting edge, and be assured of always having the latest features, and fastest technology, you need to keep upgrading, which leaves the question of what to do with your old tech. Time to clear out those old cupboards

Even with a 50% record, I'd still vote to get off of PayPal. At least FB seems to care enough to almost try.

Google's controversial Street View project has photographed millions of miles of roads and paths across the world, but that doesn't mean everyone has accepted the company's camera-equipped cars with open arms. Were they trying to prevent it from finding the other Tardis?

Number one project on that list is written with a new, super-modern, object/functional programming language, called C.

Tell me more of this mysterious language.
Is it a dynamic, type-less, memory-managed, interpreted language (like all the cool kids use)? 
Love the fact that they pushed all the myriad bindings until later.

Does it occur to people that the stable and useful stuff probably doesn't have a lot of changes going on and most people have already downloaded it, so it would never show up on the "trending" graph?
I guess it's useful though. It provides a list of time wasters to avoid.

Yeah, their methodology is pretty flawed for older programming languages. Just looking for searches, while it does show people fumbling with languages, doesn't cover people who don't need to Google to figure out a quick sort.
I'm mostly interested in the languages lower on their list - to see potentially new languages that might become popular.
Look at how MatLab is jumping up the list. Obviously it's the next major language.
