Apple introduced an iPhone with a smaller screen on Monday called the iPhone SE. Smaller, smaller, greener, yawner

For sure they used a lot of wrapping foil to make it look like new...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It isnt so small, but "only" 4 inches. I guess it will be a big, big hit ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

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?

In the world of the Internet, technology is constantly changing. The SMTP technology behind email, however, has not changed much since it was first released a very long tine ago. Tbbq yhpx jvgu gung

I, while working for a company that had lots of security-minded customers for its other products, was instructed to come up with a secure corporate email system that had nothing to do with SMTP. I did so, and the first people interested in it were the FBI. They didn't want a back door; they wanted to use it as a regular customer so their own emails couldn't be hacked. Before this deal was completed the company closed down after the president of the company fled the country with both the IRS and the FBI in hot pursuit (on unrelated matters). I wonder how it would have turned out if this latter incident hadn't happened.

Microsoft’s Jacob Rossi today announced on Twitter that the company will be releasing a porting tool which will allow developers to port their Chrome extensions to Microsoft Edge. If you can't beat 'em, port 'em.

...and if it (apparently) works too well (see Android Bridge for Windows Mobile/Phone), we'll just pretend it never existed and push our own APIs as hard as we can.

Why post it? Because it's a slow Sunday.
Why Scala? Because pedants need to code too? 
Why Scala School? Because alliteration is wonderful.
Just why? A question for all time, and the philosophers

By using "alliteration" properly in a sentence you have proved your intrepid reporter credentials!

With the proliferation of new languages and platforms, the ability to be technology-agnostic has evolved from a “nice to have” to a “need to have” — and developers face this reality daily. That's where you can't prove - or disprove - that a technology exists
Or you're too lazy to check
|

Having seen a consulting organisation attempt to make one of these "agnostic" solutions work a few years ago I call bullshit on this approach.
Introducing disparate technologies and hoping they will work together based on the sales pitches is just wishful thinking. On going support for such a dogs breakfast is a nightmare with the various vendors being able to deny any problem is theirs and passing the buck to the next vendor in line.
Retaining the IP to support this type of solution is also extraordinarily difficult and Ghu forbid you are relying on the "consultant" for on going support.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I agree completely. Companies waste a staggering amount of money when they avoid making a commitment to a technology. The top definition for "agnostic" in the Urban Dictionary reads:An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings. Wallowing in complexity... That is a perfect summary of technological agnosticism.

While the software maker promised that all Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices would be upgraded to Windows 10, it's breaking that promise. Making it the first time Microsoft has broken a promise about mobile

As a 1010 owner, I'm somewhat annoyed - one of my primary reasons for buying was the promise of updates.
Still, I'm due an upgrade, so I guess its Nexus now.

Developers have a year to prepare before modularity arrives in Java SE Development Kit 9 Are they going to call it "using"?

To help provide greater flexibility for customers who have longer deployment timeframes to Windows 10, the support period for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 devices on Skylake systems will be extended by one year: from July 17, 2017 to July 17, 2018. Yeah, they've received "Feedback", and they're "responding"
