It's still better than painting yourself head to toe with woad and doing a thunderstorm dance to light a fire.
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?

Hmmm, that could be quite, um, stimulating.
On the other hand, here's an opportunity to actually learn a technology as it's emerging, something I have never cared to do with anything W.. related (WPF, WCF, web..., etc.) We'll see if it's true that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

We’ve asked over 350 developers and 3 JCP experts about their Java 9 expectations, here’s what we found out.

IT salaries will remain mostly stagnant in 2015, except for workers with highly coveted skill sets, according to a report tracking IT salaries and skills demand in the coming years. Where is 'headline snark writers' on the list?

Global, high mobility, lightly regulated industry has wages governed by supply and demand? Shocked I am!
Edit That said, I'm surprised "machine learning" isn't on that list yet.

Down at the bottom of the list, right next to 'headline writing snarkers'.

We’re excited to announce development has begun on the ORTC API for WebRTC, a key technology to make Real-Time Communications (RTC) on the web a reality. WebRTC API FTW

IE is still a joke to the masses, but you have to at least admire the developers for trying.

Do people really still use Internet Explorer?

For testing, yes.
I saw an appropriate joke about this earlier today:
"How do you tell HTML from HTML5? View it in IE. If it doesn't work, it's HTML5."

Microsoft is removing its OneDrive storage limits for Office 365 subscribers. If you’re an Office 365 Home, Personal, or University subscriber then OneDrive storage will be unlimited in the coming months as Microsoft rolls out its changes to every account. Finally someone gives me a space to back up my Internets!

As I commented elsewhere, along with Google, Apple, and Amazon, MS is one of the four companies I don't expect to back peddle from offering an unlimited tier for consumer users. They know the PR backlash from doing so would be huge, and even if they flubbed their estimate about how many users went crazy with uploading files, the server cost above what they budgeted being subsidized by the vast majority of lighter users is a much smaller number.
I do however expect them to be pickier about the consumer unlimited plan being for consumers and not business customers (who must buy metered data) when a pro photographer/videographer starts trying to upload a TB of raws/video a month.

Microsoft is reportedly pondering an ARM-based flavor of Windows Server. The idea may just make sense. Yeah, multiple CPU architecture support for Windows Server. Crazy talk.

Sounds like a cage match. "Intel breaks ARM bar, spins around, drives the opponent to the mat. ARM is dazed but this ain't over yet."

Some rather crazy ideas[^].

Eclipse Cloud Development initiative looks to host browser-based development tools in the cloud For those who wondered, "Can they make Eclipse any slower?"

Seriously caused uproarious LOL!!
And, to answer, I think it can only theoretically get any slower since, according to human perception Eclipse has entirely stopped while loading / building / spinning / churning etc.
Good news: things have to get better. Bad news: They can't get any worse.

The idea that computer users should use long, complex passwords is one of computer security's sacred cows. Or maybe admins could stop allowing people to download the full list of passwords?

I do wonder which cows aren't sacred.
