With Telerik’s open source framework NativeScript, programmers with expertise in JavaScript have a new option for cross-platform mobile app development. The resulting applications will be able to run directly on Android, iOS and Windows. Write once, run everywhere. Why haven't we seen this before?

"Destroys computers"? It just destroys some data, it's not like you have to buy a new PC.. just pop in the recovery cd.
But "destroys computers" sounds cooler I guess.

Microsoft announced a raft of security and data protection software on the first day of its Ignite conference. The company said that attacks on companies were increasingly using legitimate tools: organizations are being compromised through access made with valid (albeit stolen or otherwise compromised) user credentials, rather than malware. It's got heuristics!

One of the biggest changes since Microsoft turned over a new leaf is that Nadella has been able to turn some of his most bitter rivals into important partners — a strategy that wasn't part of former CEO Steve Ballmer's vision. And no chairs kicked!

Microsoft is using its new browser – Edge – to make a point: it wants to be more open. Case in point – the publicly accessible changelog. "We're livin' on the edge"

I think the name "Edge" will bring issue with Samsung Edge mobile[^]. This is a similar issue which was happened few years back with Metro AG by using the name "Metro"[^]

While the biggest headline surrounding apps in the Windows platform at Build was surrounding iOS and Android, another major announcement was about using code from Win32 applications to make Windows apps. "Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but concentrate yourself upon details."

So is it worth learning a relatively obscure language or skill set, on the hope that you can score one of a handful of well-paying jobs that require it? "There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge."

No. Though I do agree with having at least a taste of several languages; when it comes to work, only learn what you need to know now. You have no idea what you will need to know next week.
(I never needed to know COBOL or Fortran.)

Popular languages are in high demand thus pay well...
There are also many programmers who know these languages! Why pay a top salary for a programmer who has the same skills as all the other programmers? There's probably a programmer around who can do the same job for less.
Now a language nobody knows, but that you need... That you're willing to pay for!
So if you are the one developer who knows that particular language you can practically name your price.
Well, in theory anyway.

In practice, the company will decide not to use that language/technology and instead choose one for which candidates are a dime-a-dozen.
Or make up their own language (you know who you are) so they get the determine who has da skillz and who doesn't.

Well, you know what they say about theory and practice...
In theory they're the same, but in practice they're not

Ooh - we do like a bit of rationing here. Could you work out some way that we have to queue to use it too?

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?
