IMAP support has finally come to Outlook.com. More than a year after overhauling its mail service, Microsoft today announced the immediately addition of IMAP to Outlook.com users. People still use IMAP?

HTTP  I guess I'm one of the few that just uses the Web interface for GMail and Outlook (both .com and Exchange client).
Every time I try switching to an IMAP client, it goes ahead and creates a whack of folders, and that just pokes my CDO[^].
[edit] Or SMTP, of course.

Extra '.' at the end, fixed. It's an old joke, and I recall that someone here uses it as a sig, but it's nice anyway.

Good point. But imagine: I had to implement it recently for our component watching an email account - some customers insist on IMAP instead of POP3/SMTP.

Why the elephant would someone use POP3 instead of IMAP?
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?

I would imagine "ease of implementation" (as in, "We bought a library that does POP3")

More than 11.6 billion miles away from Earth, NASA's Voyager 1 has finally reached interstellar space, scientists confirmed Thursday. "This... simple feeling is beyond V'ger's comprehension."
It's apparently official now.

A quick sprint with my design friend +Jeff Baxter led to a little experiment called Coder. It’s an open source tool that turns Raspberry Pi into a simple, tiny, personal web server and web-based development environment – just what you need for crafting HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while you’re learning to code OK, now I want to buy a Raspberry Pi

Ok, now I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

Let us know how it turns out. I'm at the "gotta buy a case of these and send it to all the local schools" stage at the moment.

Rocking! Thank you for this. Sorry about the breakage - JSON can definitely be like that. Getting all your [] and {} lined up can be maddening if you're not using a library. You got my 5 anyway.

When it ships on September 20, Apple’s iPhone 5s will be the first and only smartphone on the market powered by a 64-bit processor — but not for long, if Samsung can help it. And they'll support .. 8G networks. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I just love the Guardian's write up of this. The Guarniad[^]
Or, to be more accurate, I particularly like the way he gets pulled apart on his arguments in favour of 64-bit in a phone - you know because it improves floating-point accuracy. Reading the Comments is essential.

Here's a secret: GitHub isn't just for writing code. Too bad GitHub doesn't seem to care. I think many people will get the wrong idea from a "Pull request"

Imagine a team of lawyers researching a case and using GitHub to upload and annotate legal documents. Or co-authors writing and editing chapters of a book. Or even an online brainstorming session on GitHub, which would be stored and documented far more efficiently than a mess of flustered emails ever could be.
There's far better tools for brainstorming and managing a research project than GitHub, especially when it comes to merging changes, which any VCS does poorly with non-text documents. GitHub doesn't address the real issues that a project that involves a lot of "documents" encounters -- organizing, indexing, and cross-referencing the information in a meaningful way. Yet another example of "oh, here's a cool technology that will solve lots of problems". Sorry folks, it solves the wrong problems in this case, and there's better tools out there already.

Agreed. Versioning is such a small part of that kind of scenario, I don't see the value. Something like a shared Evernote or dare I say it - a wiki - would be more useful.

I sat in a packed room as Microsoft held a daylong series of sessions during which the company announced what it called the .NET strategy. To regain its place within the vanguard of personal computing, Ballmer's Microsoft promised to deliver an interconnected set of Web services that could serve up relevant information to users across multiple devices and let them share with family, friends and co-workers. In a statement then, Ballmer said Microsoft would create a "unified platform through which devices and services cooperate with each other." Computer. Stop.
[Later thoughts]: I think I'm still suffering from PTPD (Post-traumatic PowerPoint Disorder) from these. We were handed these and told, "Make them real" back in 2000. They are missing my favourite though: the medical one.

And we're all suffering from PTBD - Post-traumatic Ballmer Disorder.
