Language’s architect Brian Goetz lays out how OpenJDK 9 will make generics easier to turn into specialized classes.
"Generic quote here."

TOTally stolen blurb, thank you!

I'm still waiting for the language that goes beyond generics into the realm of hypotheticals. You could use the keyword "imagine"

Bountysource is a crowdfunding site aimed at open source software developers. It allows developers to offer a “bounty” to developers as an incentive to address bugs, or contribute to a particular feature.
Seems like a combo of Kickstarter and Topcoder for devs.

The language is called Swift, and on June 2, Apple released a test version to coders outside the company, billing it as a faster and more effective means of building software apps for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Even then, four years after Lattner first envisioned the language, it came as a shock to all but a limited number of Apple insiders. Hyperbole (noun): exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

Swift, also referred to [by Apple and Apple fanboys] as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Even though Microsoft still has 90 percent of the PC market, Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner says, the important figure is 14 percent, taking into account the entire world of devices. "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here."

Ah, so the office is no longer what determines the important figure?

If you can get a Bananaman reference in here somewhere then I'll be impressed.

Like Microsoft Access for the internet age - yay - I wondered where my next decade's overpaid fix-other-people's-mess gigs would come from.

At Microsoft's Partner Conference 2014, COO Kevin Turner was his usual self, being energetic and passionate about the future path for Microsoft. One area that he touched on briefly was about the next generation of Windows and about how the scope of the product has been defined. One UI, many screens. Haven't we seen this movie before?

THAT should be very interesting...

According to Microsoft, Adam is twice as adept as previous systems at recognizing images—including, say, photos of a particular breed of dog or a type of vegetation—while using 30 times fewer machines. Just keep it away from the Apples

I have no idea what that means. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, it is basic math...
You take the number of machines, multiply that by 30, and then less null reference exception
|
|

It is most probably meant in the sense of:
one thirtieth
one for every thirty
1/30
You get my drift*1? 
Cheers!

While I accept that that is probably what they had intended, the words they used not only don't mean that, but don't seem to have any meaning at all when used together like that.
