It's a hardware problem. One of the banks of flash memory has just worn out and can no longer be read. The fix is just to remove that entire bank from service.
Unfortunately, even if you don't hit the maximum reprogramming limit and kill it that way, flash chips are only good for about a decade. Curiosity has just hit 4000 days of operation; top binned chips or not old age is probably going to catch up to more of them in the next few years, and losing the ability to store data overnight will be a major capability hit even if nothing else fails.
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?

I find my Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia) to be much more usable than my Android tablet or my wife's iPhone 5.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

I like the new Lumia phones: they are cheap and have power, but I am addicted to Nexus - now my third: Nexus 6. It is a hammer - a real big hammer

Estimates are that approx 38 Million Windows 8 phones sold.
It is interesting that a company & product can be considered a failure when it has sold 38 million units.
It's a bit disturbing since it means that you can only get a product that the other 5 billion people like, which means, you are a minion and we will tell you what to like.
For the record, I do not own a windows 8 phone. I have a Nexus 7 tablet (android of course) and a Stupid-Phone and a laptop running Windows 8.1 and another laptop running Ubuntu.

Microsoft has been trying to create generally accepted IT and software development certifications for at least two decades. In an attempt to distinguish between those who actually know the material and those who are just good at memorizing study guides they’ve tried a variety of tactics. A certification for knowing what you're doing? Where's the brain dump site for that?
|
|
|
|
|
And I thought all the certification business was about money...

Quote: If the candidate passes the review, he or she has two weeks to publish the application in the Microsoft Store and 90 days to pass the advanced Windows Store exam for C# or HTML5. (In other words, the technical review is a substitute for two of the three exams.)
They must really be desperate to close the app gap...

Python creator Guido van Rossum’s proposal for static type-checking annotations is inching closer to reality, and the feature has taken on a new name: type hinting.
Hint: There may be some value in this.

e International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) announced today that it’s going to be adding a second to the clock on June 30, 2015. While leap seconds sound entirely harmless, it’s far more dangerous for the Internet than you might expect.
Y2.15K?

No they're not. Just ignore it.

They actually believe that our measure of time is accurate to the second?!

Clearly not. That's why they're adding a second.

Microsoft is working on a new browser for Windows 10, and if you have been following our leaks, you will remember our post from way back in September where we began talking about the new browser and its updated interface. Looks... like a browser.

Yes there were a few news about these Internet Explorer to get some rest after doing a lot of good work such as giving us ability to download Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc on our machines.
Maybe this is a browser, but I just wish this is not like its ancestor, the Mighty Internet Explorer. Anyone wants to join me for the prayer? I would love to have other developers, and designers who are tired to spending their 10hr/week for web development and designing, and rest of the hrs for removing the bugs in their Internet Explorer version of the website.
