Microsoft is always looking for ways to improve its browser and with growing pressure from Google Chrome and Firefox, there is no time to waste when it comes to pushing out new features. And to no surprise, Microsoft has big plans for its next major update to Internet Explorer, which will arrive with Windows Threshold. "I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check ... if so, then Microsoft would have great products."

Why do we like flat so much now?
I HATE chrome.
HATE.
And I'm otherwise a sweet fuzzball.

Flat's the new black, that was the new gradient, that was the new battleship grey.

For better or worse everyone is now copying it or copying certain features, sometimes not with a great deal of thought.
But if you really don't like it there are other options out there.

Since its creation, Code.org‘s mission has been to get coding into curriculums for students as schools nationwide. Today, the nonprofit group is launching Code Studio, a combined set of tools and curriculum to get students in kindergarten through high school interested in the underlying concepts behind coding through guided lesson plans. "You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by."

No tech worker is an island. A recent productivity impact study reveals work efficiency is impacted negatively by co-workers. Or are they just stealing your lunch? I know you're doing it Shane. I can see you doing it.

Mozilla takes the wrapping paper off a project that could one day make Web developer's lives much easier by allowing them to build once and test everywhere. "Debugging across devices can be a real pain." Ya think?

If you’ve done any app or game development in the last 10 years, you certainly recognize the criticality and power of third party components. With these components you can add all sorts of amazing functionality to your app with little to no additional coding. Shorter version: "Developers, developers, developers!"

they aren't going to let go of tiles just yet are they.

Tiles are the way of the future. If you don't believe me, just ask Microsoft! 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

“The home of the future is not about the technology and not about being smart and connected,” he said. “It’s about it working in a way that you don’t notice the technology and giving you the right options at the right time. It’s about adapting to you.” It's because it's really cosy. I like what you've done with it.

There isn’t a single overarching theme (like Generics, LINQ, async/await), but there are a lot of features that enhance your productivity both writing and reading C# code. "I program my home computer. Beam myself into the future"

Await in catch / finally blocks and the null-propagation operator look quite handy.
Exception filters? I can see the argument that VB has them, so C# should have them too. But I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I've thought, this would be much easier / cleaner with exception filters.
Everything else just looks horrible. But I guess that's just another sign I'm getting old.

Well I think most of the enhancements looks promising - especialy null propagation and primary constructors. Both makes code shorter and more clear. Exception filtering looks kind of short-hand of "if (e is MyException) {...}.
Why not remove the break-need in the end of switch-case's. I don't see why break is needed - should break out when the next case begins - or?
That is what I can think of.

If you saw Kate Upton or Jennifer Lawrence naked last week, there’s a good chance you saw them on the social news site Reddit. The self-proclaimed “front page of the Internet” was one of the main outlets linking to the celebrity nude photographs hacked from Apple’s iCloud accounts and leaked across the web. Honesty may be the best policy, but it doesn't seem to pay as well as the alternative

We are excited to announce that the new SQL Database service tiers, Basic, Standard, and Premium are now generally available. These service tiers raise the bar for what you can expect from a database-as-a-service with business-class functionality that is both built-in and seamless to use—allowing you to dramatically increase the number of databases managed under a single database administrator. I'd try to type something amusing here, but the combination of SQL, "cloud", and pricing has broken my Amuse-o-matic 9000.

If you've heard that Sitting is Killing You, you probably have some low-grade continuous anxiety about the fact that you still end up sitting at a computer for most of the day, most days. But a five minute/hour slow walking break was shown to guard against the worst circulatory effects of sitting. There you go: doctor mandated break time

Well, that should be easily achieved for the average employee, as they shuffle between the conference room and their desk every hour or so for useless meetings.
