On Thursday, Microsoft will try to explain what being a "devices and services" company means for a company that most people think of as a software company first and foremost — and the world’s largest software maker, at that. Ignore those two parts of the company that make all the money, we'd like to sell you a Surface and SharePoint subscription.

When you start out as an entrepreneur, it’s just you and your idea, or you and your co-founder’s and your idea. Then you add customers, and they shape and mold you and that idea until you achieve the fabled “product-market fit.” If you are lucky and diligent, you achieve that fit more than once, reinventing yourself with multiple products and multiple customer segments. Creating a world-class publishing company, with instantly recognizable books just isn't good enough for some people.

Yesterday over 9,500 articles published throughout the years on .net magazine disappeared over night. Sadly, only the top 500 articles were moved to a new home while others just vanished from the Web within a couple of seconds. And so, another portion of my bookmarks died silently and abruptly. "Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away."

Years ago, I used to create backups of whole websites on my local disk. With static html, that was relatively easy. With the years, non-content grew enormously (all those javascripts and css and navigation and ads and...), and I developed tools for getting the content. But newsmagazines often changed their layouts, and eventually I was to lazy to update my tools for their changes... And of course, my local content could not be searched via Google.
I stayed aware of the fact that any content can be removed from the web - such that nobody can even prove that it had existed at all. The work of the new Winston Smiths is far easier than it was described for the pre-internet era. But hardly anyone will notice it.

Android may have a much bigger chunk of the market, but that's irrelevant if people are actually using Apple devices more. At least that's Apple CEO Tim Cook's take on the market. Has he been taking math lessons from Ballmer?

Remarkable*.
Is that why three-quarters of the *great* *new* *features* in ios7 appear to be directly copied from android (and most of the rest from Windows phone)?

I suspect that's just because iUsers like to fiddle with their devices constantly so they can be seen to be iUsers.

That's what had me confused - did it disappear or something, or is there something about *this* line-mode browser that's different?

Oh, man. That's sooooo last century.
Now you need HTML, CSS, JavaScript, at least three additional JS libraries, some server-side processing, a CSS/LESS/SASS pre-processor, maybe a in-memory DB, Web fonts from a real type foundry, and fifteen copies of each image (customized for each possible browser client size) or you're not doing real Web development. 
Oh, and so it's an official Web development post: node.js, node.js, node.js (there, I got in the required three mentions)

For the past year or more we have been working hard behind the scenes to modularize the IntelliJ platform. As it stands now, IntelliJ IDEA provides a very extensible and rich platform. In fact, all of our different IDEs, as well as Google’s Android Studio are built on the IntelliJ platform and most of the functionality each flavor provides is nothing more than a series of plugins.

Clicking "Like" on a Facebook post or page is now a form of speech protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, according to an opinion issued on Wednesday by a federal appeals court, which overturned a previous ruling to the contrary. I'm so glad they took the time to decide that, aren't you?

The question is not "Do I host my source code?" If you're a one-person shop, the answer should be yes. If you're a midsized consulting firm, the answer should be yes. If you're a huge distributed product company, the answer should be yes. You get the picture. Yes
