What was intended as a set of personal practices has become a doctrine. And despite the mainstream adoption of Agile, the loss of its original intent has undermined its effectiveness. "We were liberated from the fold, that's all, and the world looks just the same"

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?

In a challenge to one of Google's more controversial practices, a group of students in California are suing Google, claiming that the company's monitoring of Gmail violates federal and state privacy laws. "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

Yep. Definitely a fart in a hurricane. But good on them for knowing to be angry about it.

Next major revision of Google's JavaScript framework plans to target ECMAScript 6, have a more modular design, and ditch older browsers. Slow down! I'm still trying to figure out 1.0

Sigh.
It's great to push people to ditch the browsers, but we're not quite there yet. Another couple of years maybe.

In a few years we'll all be cursing people with obsolete versions of IE that don't support any of the good standards like IE11 or IE12.

Mozilla and Unity today announced plans to bring Unity-authored games to the Web that can be played without the need to install anything other than a browser. Unity will be releasing a WebGL add-on as part of Unity 5.0 later this year, allowing millions of its developers to export their projects directly to the Web without the friction of plugins while hopefully still delivering smooth gameplay. OK, I could have sworn I did this one, but apparently that was something else

Hawking has a history of making bets with other physicists about his theories. Until now, he’s yet to win any of them (or at least those that have been publicized). But with Harvard University researchers discovering that the universe expanded exponentially after the big bang, Hawking says he’s finally put one in the win column.

Facebook has reached a major milestone in computer vision and pattern recognition, with ‘DeepFace,’ an algorithm capable of identifying a face in a crowd with 97.25 percent accuracy, which is pretty much on par with how good the average human is (97.5 percent accurate) at recognizing the faces of other walking, talking meat sacks. And nothing bad will come out of this

HP Software is refreshing its application life-cycle management (ALM) portfolio with new and updated versions that focus on testing for mobile and cloud-based applications. The release is the biggest portfolio release from the company since ALM 11 was announced more than two years ago, according to Kelly Emo, ALM and quality evangelist for HP.
I found the release of HP Sprinter for mobile interesting. I didn't release that many developers were still doing manual testing
