Microsoft is refreshing its Office Web Apps this week with a new user interface and some feature additions. No. No-no-no-no. No. (Reads about it). Oh, that's not like Clippy at all. Seems like it might be useful.

I'm just dreading the day they decide to introduce a touch-friendly version of Visual Studio.
Especially if that's the only option (I'm also a bit afraid of that with Office, I don't want to sacrifice screen estate to touch friendly menus ribbons).

Pope Francis declared the Internet was a "gift from God" that can break barriers between different groups of people by giving them a platform to discuss their differences. Oh, sure. Like Vint Cerf needed a promotion.

Don't you have to be dead? Oh wait, on second thoughts, that seems like a mighty fine idea.

"put Al Gore on the path to sainthood?"
Is there an Al-Gore-Ithm for that?

WebJobs aims to make developing, running, and scaling small jobs in the cloud easier. They are built into Azure Websites and run in the same VM as your Web Sites. The job's not done until the... well, actually, it can keep running after that as well

There are a few great considerations that come to mind when looking for a new Internet Service Provider: of course, it matters how much an internet connection costs, how fast it is, and of course, whether it’s possible to watch HD-quality cat videos day or night. Because cat videos are the new international standard of video quality

in a manner of speaking, yes. I suppose that's right.
Though judging providers based on how their content is served isn't the most objective measure of all time.
But what do you expect from Google.

With Windows 8, Microsoft made it possible for developers to build apps using HTML and JavaScript. Turns out, no one is really doing that... Decisions, decisions: write for one OS (that many don't like), or use .NET and hit all Windows?
|
|
|
|
|
What, people don't want all the joys of HTML/CSS/JS when there are better options available?
Why ever could that be?
(I'm holding out on the new UI anyway until they decide to free it from the restraints of the Windows Marketplace).

Workaholism is often confused with hard work. Some people who work on the Web seem not only to disregard its dangers, but to actively promote it. They see it as a badge of honor—but is it really? On the contrary, it’s a serious issue that can damage Web teams. "Working hard, or hardly working?"

With so many consumers now using their mobile devices to interact with businesses, it is imperative that companies are properly set up to meet customers' needs. The questions many business owners ask when deciding whether to go mobile is whether to create a dedicated app for their brand or develop a website that is mobile-friendly. "The CEO asked for one." Somehow that didn't make the list. Instead, you get a few decision points about creating a mobile app, versus just a mobile web site.

Today, Microsoft announced an unpredecented response to concerns of NSA data access, offering customers in foreign countries the option of having their data stored outside US borders. Your data will still get scanned, but at least it will slow them down a little

Many developers will be happy to note that, beginning with this release, Visual F# Tools will be usable as an addition to the Desktop and Web Express editions of Visual Studio. The 'F' stands for 'Free'

That's great! I just wonder how much adoption the language has seen.
