If you've heard that Sitting is Killing You, you probably have some low-grade continuous anxiety about the fact that you still end up sitting at a computer for most of the day, most days. But a five minute/hour slow walking break was shown to guard against the worst circulatory effects of sitting. There you go: doctor mandated break time

Well, that should be easily achieved for the average employee, as they shuffle between the conference room and their desk every hour or so for useless meetings.

Awesome! I've been doing this for years by going outside to smoke!

The outcry over celebrity nudes blames a new scapegoat -- the cloud -- for our security woes, but underlying causes run deeper. So... the question isn't, "Why bother?"

Microsoft is testing out playing games in your browser and not just any games. We're talking Xbox games - and not just last-generation titles either. In fact, even Xbox One titles are currently said to be in the works too. ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA to open a new tab

what farkarkles me off no end is that i have an XBox 360 (a bloody PC) and the buggers (M$) wont even let me have an internet browser on it unless I pay for it.
Furthermore I walk to my desktop PC and there are more "free" online games than i can point a Balmer stick at. Not a lot of "free" stuff on the XBox.
So it sits there and doesnt get used. I'm sure M$ had exactly that in mind.
What did my XBOX last get used for? Playing dvd's (breaking Bad as it happens)

Sounds like how I used my XBox when I had it.

New survey of 2,200 developers and IT executives finds most focus and will continue to focus on desktop applications, with mobile apps secondary. I usually ignore hoopla, until it becomes a foofaraw

Mono 3.8.0 was released last week. It comes with several performance and scalability improvements across the runtime, as well as finishes the Windows port. They ported Mono ... to Windows. Well, that should get a lot of use.

Hmmm... tempting... One Framework to rule them all would be great. The price just has to come down to parity with .net .
How's the OpenVMS port coming along?

What the hell does this sentence mean:
JIT better handles long remainders by powers of two, generating significantly better code. Long remainders were not handled specially earlier, like Int remainders were.
What's a long remainder? Int's have remainders? I thought ints were, well, integers! 
That's got to be one of the more obtuse "gee, see what great things we did!" bullet items I've read this year, and it's at the top of the list!

The Windows 9 public preview coming at the end of the month is going to ask for feedback almost to the point of annoyance. "Do you really want to make me cry?"

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

"Unless you can guarantee a clean upgrade to W9 RTM, any feedback you get will be biased to the point of uselessness because all you'll see is snags from VM puttering; not real world use."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Definitely right. I've given up on installing OS betas on usable machines, and the usual upgrade advice when RTM happens is, "Burn the machine to the ground and install". So, they'll optimize for Parallels et al.
