Hey now. Be kind!
It's also the best browser for pretty printing XML or copying tabular data into Excel. 
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?

Having controlled our commas for decades, Grey Lady now positioning our braces. Because when you think Objective C, don't you always think of newspaper?

So basically, a bunch of journalists who know nothing about programming have decided on a layout of braces etc?
Oh, and don't even get me started on how they have "outlawed" that one liner if statement that is perfectly OK. Or the "use spaces instead of tabs" mentality, it just makes me want to throw a keyboard at someone.

Yup. It made perfect sense to me. Just like I always get my news from Bjarne. No other source is worth it. OK, maybe Anders, but just for the Turbo news. 
I guess it might have originally just been the internal style guide that every company has, but I really don't see their point in publishing it.

Apple has launched a worldwide "USB Power Adapter Takeback Program," under which it will sell discounted official Apple adapters to users who turn in third-party or "counterfeit" versions. "You're holding it wrong"

We live in a time of chronic dissatisfaction in the workplace. Gallup's 2013 State of the American Workplace study found that as many as 70% of working Americans were unfulfilled with their jobs. How can we explain this? Certainly factors like the sluggish economic recovery and stuck wages play a role, but I think the real answer is even more straightforward: It's not clear how one designs a satisfying career in today's professional culture, especially if lasting fulfillment (as opposed to salary maximization) is the goal. "Be the ball"

Microsoft today announced a slew of improvements for Windows Phone developers. These include the new Windows Phone App Studio in beta, the simplification of the phone registration process, and a new ‘Click to Chat’ support option. Coding without coding? That's just so zen.

Copy machines have a relatively simple, single task so it's generally accepted that they'll function without issue and maintain 100 percent accuracy. What? You wanted an exact copy?

I find it hard to believe that this happens with OCR turned off (as the author states).

From what I understand, it has nothing to do with OCR, it has to do with the lossy compression it uses (JBIG2[^]), which compares blocks of the image with other blocks, and decides to throw one away and just re-use the other if they're similar enough. Problem is, text is pretty similar to other text, especially when in a similar format (like currency strings). So the block of the image containing that string from one section is re-used in another spot that previously had a similar, but different, string.

Thanks for the clarification. Phew! I'm not happy, but relieved.

Nope, see lewax00's great explanation above.

Of all the members of NASA's current crop of distinguished astronauts, only two have the unique distinction of being identical twin brothers. And now NASA is using an idea proposed by the brothers, Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly, to perform a study that's been confined to sci-fi up until now. Twins... in SPACE!

But, there has been another, even longer running constant regarding the web for the last 20 years—working with web technologies is not “programming”, not “real coding”. <div class="is_this">programming?</div>
