(As commented on the blog, by moi):
I would hope that the SCREAMING menubar is CONFIGURABLE. And how about getting with the 21st century, which would mean exposing the icons in the toolbars, tree controls, etc., so we can have different icons packs and not have to continue PLAYING LIKE CHILDREN with YOUR concept of "energy."
Or is that too COMPLICATED for you BRAINIACS to do with WPF?

Uttering expletives when you hurt yourself is a sensible policy, according to scientists who have shown swearing can help reduce pain. Go ahead: you know you want to

Most people have no idea what the market rate or prevailing wage is for their profession and career level, much less where they fall on the pay scale. I guess asking a mirror is out of the question?

Friggin sweet. I think I'll give all of those a look see.
What's annoying, though, are the varying level of excuses you are given. Excuses you have to show are wrong and which they certainly know are wrong but are used to deter/confuse/placate employees into accepting lower salaries.

The next JavaScript specification is moving towards completion. TC39, the technical committee charged with creating ES.next (also known as ES Harmony, and sometimes ES 6) has already tentatively approved a number of proposals and there are a bunch more straw men awaiting approval. TC39 includes some of the finest minds in JavaScript (not least, Brendan Eich himself) but as Jeremy Ashkenas famously cautioned “JavaScript is too important to be left to the experts”. They need our help. Who will stand up to the experts?

Earlier this year, Professors and CSAIL Principal Investigators Piotr Indyk and Dina Katabi, along with CSAIL graduate students Haitham Hassanieh and Eric Price, announced that they had improved upon the Fourier transform, an algorithm for processing streams of data. Their new algorithm, called the sparse Fourier transform (SFT), has been named to MIT Technology Review’s 2012 list of the world’s 10 most important emerging technologies. SFT FTW!

Roger McNamee, the managing director and co-founder of venture capital firm Elevation Partners, has a theory about how Apple became the biggest U.S. technology growth story of all time, “The thing that made Apple successful was betting against the web.” Perhaps you'd be more comfortable at one of our lower stakes tables?

Over drinks on Saturday night, a friend shared that he quit the software business after 18 years as a professional software developer. MIT grad, Anderson consultant, multiple web and software startups, and now done. Never give up and good luck will find you

By using the Cloud Foundry open-source framework along with other open-source software, OpenCredo eliminated "heavy lifting" such as configuring virtual machines and adjusting the size of storage volumes, says CEO Russell Miles. The framework allowed developers to write code locally, share it with the client, and automate the integration, testing, and deployment of application components Methinks it looks like a weasel

Microsoft has spent significant time and resources to promote developer interest in C++. The company's "Going Native" program has emphasized C++ development but what continues to be missing from this initiative is support for modern C as defined by the C99 standard. While compiler support for C99 varies across the industry, Visual Studio stands out by providing limited to non-existent compliance. Y'all can't get there from here

C99 is too new; I think I'll stick with C89 for now.

Nokia and RIM are in similar boats. Both have suffered extensive market cap losses and share drops, and both are struggling in market share statistics. Which company will fall first? Oh, how the mighty have fallen

I'm thinking RIM cause Nokia has Microsoft as their partner. Who's RIM got?

Well, a couple of billion in the bank, but I think you may still be right.
Their latest (a virtual keyboard when their main claim to fame is their physical keyboard) just makes me gnash my teeth in sadness.

Friday ended the copyright phase of the Oracle vs. Google trial with the jury stating that it couldn't reach a unanimous decision on one of the four questions it needed to address. Judge William Alsup instructed the jurors to think things through over the weekend, but to no avail: the jury has informed the court that an "impasse has been reached" on the one issue they couldn't agree on. The jury has turned in its partial verdict on the three questions it was able to agree upon. In the battle of these heavyweights, we're all going to lose
