Speaking during a keynote appearance at Microsoft's Ignite conference in Chicago, Myerson knocked Google's Android update plans. "Don't stand there moaning, talking trash"

Expressing how you feel - be it sad, happy, grumpy and so on - via an emoticon isn't new, but the popularity of smartphones and adoption of emoji has lead to incredibly widespread usage. I guess I'll be wearing out one key in the future

All very well but what is the text equivalent and will CP support it anytime soon?

One of the big news stories to come out of Build 2015 was the Objective C tools that Microsoft is introducing to welcome iOS developers to Windows 10. This is amazing news, but there's a small elephant in the room, and that's Swift. Uhm... some kind of joke about how it's not coming very fast?

Wait wait wait wait wait....
Microsoft is introducing Objective C tools for W10??? Like, isn't that so, last decade???
Microsoft is going there, but one day at a time.
Like, as in "two steps backwards..."
Wow, I guess what really happened is that they sunk tons of money into bring Abortive C to Windows, only to have the rug pulled out from under them (was it only last year???) when Apple introduced Swift, and some marketing idiot decided, let's go ahead anyways with Abortive C as it'll still wow the community.
yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Microsoft is providing IT pros with more granular levels of control over how Windows 10 as a service will work. "Patches, I'm dependin' on you, boy"

A while ago, I released a course on Pluralsight entitled, “Making the Business Case for Best Practices.” Does it compile and do what it's supposed to most of the time. Boom. Mission accomplished.

I think that's what they call a "lax practice", resulting from a programmer that lacks practice.

I define the "best practice" as: "other people paying me money to do what I enjoy."

Unless you a referring to a quick-and-dirty program for personal use, I would say that good design, efficient use of resources, and maintainability are also Best Practices.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There are so many best practices these days I can't keep up!
To make things worse, every language and platform has its own best practices...
I stick to one practice, no matter what I do, KISS!
Keep it Simple and everything will go just fine

Speaking in Massachusetts, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says humans lost to the machines 200 years ago and that putting computers in a classroom doesn't make kids smarter. "And down with all kings but King Ludd!"

Funny how when a "leader" like the Woz speaks, people listen, but when a Waldorf school teacher tells that to his/her parents, the teacher is ridiculed.

Build 10074 features improvements to Cortana, the user interface, new Windows sounds, and much more. Oh, and the return of Aero Glass! Because that's what was stopping all those Windows 7 users from upgrading

For me, yes. Glass is really cool, and to go back to a Matel toy look of puke blue borders and caption bars along with bloodshot red close buttons was an eye sore (harhar) I never wanted to inflict upon myself. That and the damn tiles.
Happily, it looks like I can skip W8 entirely! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Will someone tell me why we ever needed AeroGlass anyway?
So we can see through the window title bar? Big Whoop.
Why don't they just say uncle, and re-release windows 7 the way is was?
Seems a lot easier.....
