Type-Safe JavaScript with a C#-ish syntax.

Ah. Should I care about another layer of confusion?

From what I've seen from it almost a year ago it's very nice. You have decent compiler time checking and intellisense, while it doesn't keep you from doing the true dynamic stuff.

Plus you can just write regular JavaScript and leverage TypeScript for the "compile" checking. That's what Monaco does from what I can tell.

While even old .NET staples like WinForms and Web Forms have found a place, RIA containers such as Silverlight and Flash are definitely out. As you can see in figure 5-15 (below), Microsoft doesn't want to wait around for Silverlight 5's planned 10 year lifecycle. They intend to squeeze out RIA containers by the end of 2015.
Try to adopt more on SPA, MVC, WebForm, Web API, WCF, SignalR, Cloud... Full list and download can be found here[^]

and people look at me funny when i say there's no point in learning every new framework MS throws over the wall.

You have a point. This is also what happen to Asp.net web service(ASMX).It's replaced by WCF. I have gut feeling WCF might be replaced by Web API soon.

They might not be as fashionable as cloud computing, but the mainframe remains at the heart of many computing environments. "I thought you were dead"

Mainframes are making a big comeback don't you know. The plan has been to make everyone use a thin client so that they can send you a monthly bill based on usage just like electricity and gas .... guaranteed recurring income and full control.

It was 18 years ago today that JavaScript was announced in a joint press release by Netscape and Sun. It's now old enough to drink. Coincidentally, that's what I want to do when I find one of it's 'quirks'

In the US it would have to be 21 to drink.
It can smoke, though.

Bah, I thought you were a civilized country!
OK, how about, "It's old enough to shoot someone in a foreign land?" Although JavaScript doesn't quite make me feel that way. Nor smoke. Hmmm. More research is needed.

Windows 8 users don’t need to rely on third party Start Menu replacements as it is relatively simple to create your own. A cute technique for those jonesing for their start menus

Regular cost declines with each new generation of silicon are coming to an end. "Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1.5 tons."

Microsoft may line things up behind the scenes, but for users they'll stay different. That sounds familiar, somehow.

Did you watch Charles Torre's discussion with Ale Contenti, Tarek Madkour and Herb Sutter at the Visual Studio 2013 Virtual Launch last month? The team answered a number of questions from Charles and the community on topics ranging from refactoring to PEX. In case you missed the video (or missed some of the answers), the questions and answers are provided below. Q & A++

Just about every console maker has revealed details of odd, inventive controllers that they worked on and abandoned, but rarely do we actually get to see what such novel control schemes look like in action. Though they're personal projects, Valve engineer Ben Krasnow has released videos showing off two devices he's made that allow video games to be controlled by the tongue and by how a player is sitting. Krasnow calls the latter device a "posture-based" controller, which allows users to move around a game world by sitting on it and shifting weight on their butt forward, backward, or side-to-side. It takes the shape of a large pad, and it also allows gamers to swivel left and right to look around. Well, that should help for those simulations of... uhm, next item
