One aim is to help blunt domination by two mobile OS's, Android and iOS, Mozilla CEO Sullivan declares "I'd buy that for a dollar!" or 25

I'd probably get on board with something that takes as little investment as that.
For $25, I'd totally get one just to play around with.

Microsoft is at Mobile World Congress today, and the company is announcing its first significant update to Windows 8.1. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore, who is now responsible for phones, tablets, and PCs at the software maker, revealed the update is coming "this spring" and is largely focused at improving the experience for mouse and keyboard users. With Spring showers, come Windows updates

Oh yes, that's really necessary.

This is not the proper location for a press release. If you want to post on on CP there is a location [^]for it; but you'll need to contact the site administrators to do so (and pay an advertisement fee???).
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?

The software giant refuses to discuss or acknowledge an upcoming update, Windows Phone 8.1, but a recent software development kit leak has highlighted the huge number of feature changes that will arrive in the coming months and put Windows Phone more on par with iOS and Android. One of the main feature additions is Cortana, a personal digital assistant named after Microsoft's Halo game series. "It looks like you're trying to make a call, would you like help with that?"

|
|
Hope MS get's back into game in mobile space.

|
|
|

No,no no no no my dear Cortana you don't deserve this fate.
They should call it A.M.A.F.E. from Anger Me And Feel my Errors.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

How come nobody's named theirs Simone?

I'd have thought someone would call it 'Her' or 'Scarlett' to catch that wave.

Simone - Simulation One (As in the movie.). Not what you're thinking. 
|
|
|
|
|
No, I got that. I just thought that was an older movie than it actually is. For some reason, I thought it was early 90s, not just 2002.

Microsoft is bringing Unity developers yet another opportunity to achieve creative success. With a new incentive offer, Microsoft is supporting the creation and launch of the best made-with-Unity games and apps on Windows Phone/Windows Store. "Do you want to play a game?" (or write one?)
|
|
|
|
|
Good one, let's see how they come up.
|
|
|
|
|
I wish it wasn't just for existing Unity developers.
I was just contemplating getting started with Unity but this offer will do me no good.

It's been a couple of weeks since Microsoft named its former cloud and enterprise head Satya Nadella to be its new CEO but aside from a couple of in-house interviews he didn't get any questions from the outside press. That changed today as The New York Times published a brief chat with Nadella. That bit about dropping Windows and switching to Hurd? Totally unexpected.

We created Windows Phone App Studio Beta as a powerful but easy-to-use tool to help hobbyists, enthusiasts and new developers create content-based apps from end to end, all within a web UI. Microsoft's "Look, anyone can create phone apps" app gets a new coat of paint (and other updates)

Oh god why.

Java and Scala have long competed for developers' affections, but Java 8 might transform their relationship entirely. "It's like looking in a mirror. Only... not."

Has anyone done a good comparison between Java8's lambdas and linq?

What needs to be done? In short, hardware manufacturers must harden their systems. The WeMo hack exist simply because Belkin got lazy. They allow attackers to digitally “sign” modified firmware, thus turning the WeMo into an attack vector. While it’s probably not scary if an average intruder tries turn your light on and off, the exploit is worth quite a bit to a determined hacker who wants access to your files. The same goes for our Fitbits, Basis bands, and Pebbles – the average user has nothing to worry about but getting the heart rate of a target in various situations could offer attackers a way to socially engineer an unsuspecting target. Add in remote control of health devices like pacemakers and you have something truly scary. Ooohhhh I thought hardware needed to be easier to hack! My mistake..
