The phrase “Facebook at work” usually suggests people frittering away the day on the social network and not actually doing their jobs. But according to an anonymous source inside Facebook, the company is working on a way to put the social network into a more positive light in the office. It is building an at-work version of Facebook. The only thing we need less is a zombie apocalypse

Isn't that the definition of Yammer[^]?
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Except that no one uses Yammer

No one uses Facebook either - the relationship is the other way around...

With generational change, however, comes a generational challenge: The baby boomers that brought us the computer revolution, developing the products and programs we now rely on, are retiring. Are we running out of 50 year-old developers?

Being one myself (OK, 51), what we're running out of is the recognition that 50 year old developers actually have some usable knowledge and wisdom. The sage developer community is being replaced with knee-jerk programmers applying quick-and-dirty refactoring and agile methodologies which, in projects I've seen, throw out design, planning, heck, actual thinking, replacing those "ancient" techniques with video-game-like immediate green-light gratification.

Google Drive has grown to attract more than 190 million users, for work and play, to date. Now the cloud service is taking a new turn to draw in more businesses. Google sees Microsoft's 1TB, and raises them (unlimited?!)

Eclipse Luna includes official support for Java 8 in the Java development tools, Plug-in Development Tools, Object Teams, Eclipse Communication Framework, Maven integration, Xtext, Xtend, Web Tools Platform, and Memory Analyzer. One week ago I found another preview update for Android Studio[^]

I had to Google how to open an existing project in the IDE. And then what really shocked me was how many other people have asked that question, completely befuddled by the UI, where, under the Projects menu, "Open Project" is grayed out. Like, WTF, duuude. Not to mention the complaints about how obfuscated the IDE is, only to have people respond with "it's been like that since it's inception." The take-away from that: don't let programmers design UI's, even for other programmers.
The only reason I'm looking at Eclipse is for cross-platform development work for the Beaglebone Black, but I will have to say, there's a $500 package that integrates with Visual Studio, and it's probably well worth the money.

I was waiting for this release since last month because Android studio still on preview release stage(Though many people use that for development).

The Open XML SDK has been released as an open-source project through the MS Open Tech hub! Full source code is available under the Apache 2.0 license, in a repository on Github, and the project will be under the stewardship of the growing .NET Foundation. Not new, but good news if you need to open Office documents (or to port to somewhere else)

Police cannot generally search cellphones without a warrant when they are arresting someone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision Wednesday that weighs heavily in favor of Fourth Amendment and privacy rights. Sure, US only, but I think this is pretty big

It only takes 15 minutes to get a warrant anyway. They can just email the judge.
The difficult we do right away...
