Google has announced that it will provide up to $50 million for organizations that can help encourage more girls to take an interest in computer science at an early age. Encouraging the other half of the next generation of coders

The Supreme Court ruled in a closely watched patent case that has implications for U.S. innovation and, especially, for the technology sector. "On a computer" isn't grounds for a patent. Hopefully they can get rid of software patents in general.

The web is a rich computing platform with unparalleled reach. In recent years, mobile devices have brought the web to billions of new users and introduced many new device capabilities, screen sizes, input methods, and more. To help developers navigate this brave new world, we built Web Fundamentals, a curated source for modern best practices. Today, we’re making it even easier to build multi-device experiences with the Beta release of the Web Starter Kit. I dunno. Do you think this web thing will take off?

Naw it's just a fad. Give it a while and all those crazy kids will be using Rolodexs and that fancy Dewey Decimal System again.

When the D-Wave 2 was first released last year, it was accompanied by a tidal wave of hype. The machine was a self-proclaimed quantum computer, commercially available to anyone with $15 million to spend, and attracting the attention of everyone from NASA to the NSA. The cat died

Sounds like an outstanding success to me. Let's put in more cats.

Quantum is come from the Latin quantus - 'how much', and has nothing qualitas - quality!!!

The project also got a crucial assist from Microsoft Research, which tested out the classical simulations on its high-powered computer clusters

Ever wanted to put your phone in your pocket and have it charge? Well, those with compatible wireless devices will soon have the means to fulfill their dreams thanks to British designer Adrien Sauvage. Sauvage has partnered with Microsoft to create a pair of trousers that can wirelessly charge compatible mobile devices. Are you happy to see me, or are you just charging your iPad?

Wasn't there an article the other day about the danger of carrying your cell phone in your trousers pocket?

The HTML5 Web specification that's used in browsers today is on track for "Recommendation" status, perhaps by year's end. Then we can expect full browser support by decade's end
|
|

Let make it clear. On the 17th W3C made the last call upon HTML5, that means that only one month left for bug reports (no feature request anymore), and then it will be out within few months, depending on the amount of the work the team have to do...
BUT!!! And this is a very huge but! It's only about the real HTML part of the HTML5 concept. It does not contain the over 200 JavaScript libraries proposed with HTML5...I believe that support for the new HTML features - as long as it concerns new tags - is here for most of the browsers (OK not for IE), but that's the easy part! So, end of decade? Sounds too optimistic...
(By the way, on the same day work started on HTML5.1!)

And another decade after that for market share of Legacy IE versions that don't support all of it to fade away enough we can stop caring about them. 
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?
