That's not really new...Windows used to have this 'Windows Chat' or WinChat[^] utility I used all the time in my chattier days.

That's so '80s. 
PHONE on VMS is still that way.
And there's a scene in "Pretty in Pink" that involves that kind of thing -- though of course it's bogus.
And maybe in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" -- also bogus I'm sure.

nobody says you have to use the app.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

There's a huge change going on in the tech industry that will create a whole new crop of winners and losers: cloud computing. A company cooking the numbers to look bigger? Tell me more of this new phenomenon.

Microsoft recently released the source code for the .NET Framework. In this post I will show some pearls and gems I found in files with source code after a simple analysis. "Does not look like the best approach to me but for now I am going to leave it as it is"
Apologies on the language - it's been translated by Google. Obviously a conspiracy. I haven't found anyone doing a comparable survey in English.

Appalled by the lack of the professionalism! In cases like this I usually write something like: "I leveraged the most cost-effective solution here".
|

|

The reference source is open for quite some time already, took quite a while for someone to get the idea to dig out these pearls...  His article is a bit inaccurate because they didn't release that part of the source code recently. Nice findings anyways.

Mozilla says the new Firefox ad initiative takes a kinder, gentler approach to pitching you products. Finally! The feature that no one asked for

Glad I never got hooked on Firefox.

Firefox will provide users an option to disable the ads, by going into the gear icon in the upper right corner of the New Tab page, and clicking away from "Enhanced."
Well, that's good. But what is "click away"? That sounds like a weird gestures.
I suspect that we will start to see some new ad-free browser appearing soon.
On the other hand, maybe it's time to try IE again.

Switch to Pale Moon[^] ...it's a clone of FireFox optimized for Windows.
Update: Also, I forgot to add that all your old FF plugins like FireBug still work with Pale Moon.

Quote: The ads are a way for Mountain View, Calif.-based Mozilla to stay relevant at a time when more people are making use of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome when browsing the Web.
How does putting something unpopular into the browser help to make it more popular with users? 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

As Microsoft makes more of its services and products available on other platforms, there has been much speculation over whether Cortana might also make its way to iOS and Android - a possibility that Microsoft has previously played down. Except on iOS where she'll have a posh accent

Sun Microsystems was in a spot similar to Microsoft’s in the mid-2000s. Certainly Sun was much smaller than Microsoft, but the company was still selling servers and some software when the first bubble burst. Without the going out of business part, I guess.

Actually, that sounds like giving a Golgafrinchan hair dresser a couple of sticks and expecting him to invent fire.
