So you've been paying the Apple tax for fourteen years and didn't see this coming?

Not me. Just complaining on behalf of a family member. Revised my post accordingly.
 I'll be certain to pass along your question/response, though!!

Today, Microsoft is pleased to announce the private preview of Microsoft Interflow, a security and threat information exchange platform for analysts and researchers working in cybersecurity. Interflow uses industry specifications to create an automated, machine-readable feed of threat and security information that can be shared across industries and groups in near real-time. The goal of the platform is to help security professionals respond more quickly to threats. It will also help reduce cost of defense by automating processes that are currently performed manually. From the people that brought your slammer, and ILOVEYOU

With OneDrive, we want to give you one place for all of your stuff: your photos, videos, documents and other files. Of course, to do this, we need to make sure you actually have enough storage space for everything, particularly given that the amount of content everyone has is growing by leaps and bounds. Double the space, double the fun (and without a name change for over 40 days!)

Now, let's not get crazy. 4 days without a name change should be enough for anybody.

That's really cool. I'm going to have to seriously think about how I use this kind of service with 1T available.

Stripped down package means there will be three independent versions of OpenSSL. Because participating in one of the other two versions would have been hard?

Google's goal is very different from what the other two are doing. OpenSSL is still all fingers in the ears "LALALALALALALALALAICANTHEARYOULALALALALALALALALALALALA". LibreSSL is committed to maintaining binary compatibility with the existing base of applications that currently use OpenSSL, although they've got Build a New Sane API as a bullet on their long term wish list. Google meanwhile has put creating a simplified API for their own use at the top of their priority list. Meanwhile Google and OpenBSD are cooperating to make sure they can share patches with each other. Google's relicensed[^] its patches so that they're compatible with LibreSSL, and Theo from OpenBSD says[^] that Google's reduced public API (and since openSSL has no private methods/functions and testing with OpenBSD's ports build cluster shows a huge amount of stuff that should be private is used at least once by a 3rd party there's a lot of scope to reduce it) may serve as a good place to create a new stable public API from once the decrapification is complete.

Microsoft would like its customers to consider Bing as a service that competes head-to-head with Google. And if you live inside the US, that's a true statement but for those who live elsewhere, it has been a second-class service since its inception - but a new job posting states that is about to change. I'm sure that's what's been keeping people from using it.

Two months ago, security experts and web users panicked when a Google engineer discovered a major bug — known as Heartbleed — that put over a million web servers at risk. The bug doesn't make the news much anymore, but that doesn't mean the problem's solved. Security researcher Robert David Graham has found that at least 309,197 servers are still vulnerable to the exploit. I know you're all *really* busy, but this is kinda important

Any model is provisional and we need to keep challenging them to find their weak spots, Eric Evans stated in his keynote at this year's DDD Exchange conference yesterday in London when walking through and challenging his own fundamental assumptions of Domain-Driven Design, DDD. Eric excludes misassumptions from his analysis, e.g. that OOP is mandatory or that tactical building blocks like repositories have to be used, neither which are real assumptions of DDD. "Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced."

I assumed "DDD" was Data-Driven Design.

The worst kept secret is that employees are making less on average every year. There are millions of reasons for this, but we’re going to focus on one that we can control. Staying employed at the same company for over two years on average is going to make you earn less over your lifetime by about 50% or more. And people who don't stay employed earn 100% less

He maybe right about the numbers (but I do not think so, my salary grow by 400% raise in the last 17 years, which make it an 23% up yearly), but there are other values in it...
1. No-one likes to hire someone who changes job every 2 year! It means that he comes to here for 2 years and after that you will have to teach someone else to do his job...
2. You may got a better salary, but that means to learn a new job (and it does not matter how good you are in your filed, in every company you will have to learn) and to prove yourself again, otherwise you will have to look for a new job after two month and not two years...
3. There is a certain age factor in our 'modern' world (proved to be stupid as it is, but nevertheless exists) that can hit you while over 45-50...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Do you spend more than seven hours a day parked in front of a computer monitor? Results from a newly published study suggest you could be stripping your "tear film" of a component that helps keep your eyes clean, lubricated and healthy. "Can I do it until I need glasses?"

The original medical article is titled "Alteration of Tear Mucin 5AC in Office Workers Using Visual Display Terminals" and uses "VDT" throughout the article.
We all have VDTs and we're gonna DIE!@!
Then I read more of the article.
It states "The team found participants who worked with computer screens for more than seven hours each day ..."
WOW, what a relief!! Cuz I spent 12+ hours staring at a computer each NIGHT!

We’ve recently shipped new collection types on NuGet with our Immutable Collections package. NuGet allows us to ship prerelease and experimental versions of libraries to gather feedback from the community. In this post, our software developer intern Ian Hays will talk about his intern project: an experimental NuGet package containing advanced collection types. Need to store a collection of collections? (When will the madness end?)

In my team I'm the only developer who uses immutable types and collections. I expect the others to change to match my usage eventually...

A few months old, but I don't recall it being reported here at the time:
According to their data, they have found that Android is the leader in downloads, however despite that, their app revenue is around $1.2 billion. This is no small figure but in contrast to Windows Phone whose app downloads is only a fraction of Android, their app revenue is at $0.95 billion, which is pretty close to what Android is making. Statistic Brain breaks it down further and finds that Windows Phone developers essentially make on average about $0.23 per download, versus Android developers who only make $0.04. As for iOS, they are leading in app revenue at $6.4 billion which puts them at $0.24 per download.
That's WP8's app market having total sales revenue in 2013 that is 79% of the total from Google Play, and an ARPU that's 96% as large as that from iOS users.

The Chinese Government infamously announced recently that they have banned the use of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 on Government PC's due to the cloud/Modern UI integration. While it may not sound like a big deal on the surface, Microsoft are currently panicking regarding the whole ordeal, and are currently reconsidering a number of plans with Windows 9. Maybe they can put an XP UI over the Win8 foundation?
