Backup, What's that?
None of my customers knows what that is either.

Users have filled the company’s ears with literally hundreds of wants, but a few stand out from the crowd. Here’s what the people clamor for. No one asked for a pony?

I asked for a pony.
Evidently it wasn't high on their priority.
Whatever.

I asked for a pony but instead I got a mule.
When I raised this as an issue it was closed as "unable to reproduce".

What about a one-step removal procedure for all those live tiles and app crap which gets automatically installed and can hardly be disabled on Windows 8?

The European Parliament is about to call for the “unbundling” of Google’s search business from the rest of its operations, as one potential way to challenge the company’s market dominance. Stop me if you've heard this one before...

That's not necessary, it would be just a waste of money. Politicians are already only marionettes in the game. They'll just have to threaten them publicly with something like how many people they're going to lay off when they break ranks, and that's it.

If I were in charge of Google, I'd just pull the plug on the EU for a month.. they can always use Yahoo for search

Clever move. I can see two outcomes:
1) Google pulls the plug: users panic for a week then find alternatives. EU has plausible reasons to build its own Internet resources and increse network isolations other than NSA fluck up;
2) Google backs down and splits: this will actually give way to other (EU) companies to grab some market share, literally paying EU to not isolate more the network.
In the first case we would se a Russification of EU, with more and more services localized (see Vkontakte and Xing compared to Facebook and Linkedin) and less money gained in EU but taxed elsewere.
In the latter Google would show weakness, exploitable for further "requests" from EU whilst reducing its presence in EU market.

The EU politicans wanted some years ago a law (or regulation) how a gherkin is bend.
These folks are egoistic, hypocritical and corrupt. This EU is doomed to fail. The consequences could be epochical turmoil like "The Fall of the Roman Empire"

C# 6 is the version of C# that ships with VS 2015 Preview. The philosophy behind this version is straightforward: improve simple everyday coding scenarios, without adding much conceptual baggage. The features should make code lighter without making the language heavier. Some you've already seen, but a nice comprehensive list

Windows 7 wasn't version 7.0, and Windows 8 wasn't version 8.0. Windows 10 is 10.0. Because it's not just a point upgrade to Vista?

But that doesn't justify going straight from 6.3 to 10.0 now. A major upgrade would mean 7.0... but wait, uhh, no. Guess marketing screwed it up already, and 8.0 too. And what's been so bad about 9.0...? No, it's just another stupid reasoning in a whole history of stupid reasonings of this company.

Microsoft Corporate Strategy Vice President Jeff Teper talks about Microsoft's thinking on everything from its Minecraft acquisition, to how the leadership team is evaluating what's core to the company. Is it Turing complete?

Java has a major head start, and Microsoft's limited open source strategy could be too little too late. Yeah, *no one* will ever use that stuff
Don't forget your eye-roll protection before reading.

That's just stunning, ask a bunch of Java proponents their opinion, and guess the responses.

I really enjoy some of the graphics that this site collects from around the web, and the site itself is not cluttered with ads: [^].
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?
