I predict they'll try to move Edge to a more Chrome/FF-like upgrade cycle, with new releases coming out faster (and likely without user input). Not that I think that will help much. Once users are trained to ignore the big, blue e, they're not likely to return.
As for Balmer/Synofsky - maybe. I think they've had the problem a few times thinking IE was "done". IE6 was the worst culprit, but 10 also seemed to be a pause. Having it part of Windows certainly didn't help them respond at Internet speed.

At the time I thought IE 6 was great. Then Firefox came along and that made me think there was more to browsing than what IE 6 offered. Since then we've had Chrome and so on. I'm currently running six browsers, including IE and Edge.

Save that headline.
You just have to replace the word "browser" with "Windows" in the near future.

The Amazon founder and CEO said that we have to start bringing parts of the industrial economy to space in order "to save Earth." Can I still get free two-day shipping to that industrial zone?

Once again, I'm not amazed at how stupid "smart" people can be.

I have this glorious pocket super computer with me now. It connects to all the world's collected knowledge, has an advanced battery, radio transmitter, and so much more. But most people have no idea how it works. Who knows, who cares. Have you seen the latest iPhone?

Yeah. Kids don't aspire to be sports heroes or rock stars in the droves we were accustomed to for what ever reason. It sure seems to coincide with the mobile internet though.
After 6 years of running a studio at my house the kids didn't seem like they were in bands like they were before.
Old guys with "one last shot" and the fussiness to go with started filling the vacancies. I'm an old guy too but because the 50 sames rarely have band buddies they wanted me to help them with their music. And not at scale you can bet.
I said nuts to that.
Kids today. Won't sit up straight at a desk and use PCs anymore either. That really $%^&ed up a lot of things in a bloated industry.

It's all about reality TV now, the race to the bottom. We really should stop rewarding stupidity.

If you had to know how it worked before you used it any technology from any point in history would fail, wouldn't it? I don't imagine television would have got very far into our culture if you spent more time with the back off staring at the valves than in front watching the actual programming!

London-based Onux Technologies thinks it has the solution to JavaScript woes. The company announced today that it had released JS++, a type-safe version of JavaScript that it has created over the past few years.
Roger Poon, founder of Onux, said, “The challenge with solving a problem of this magnitude is that there is just so much code and so much that has happened since JavaScript was first introduced in 1995. Secondly, it’s very difficult to analyze JavaScript without actually executing code, and the code can execute differently across web browsers and platforms. We’ve worked on this problem since 2011.
Because who doesn't love JavaScript?

JavaScript is as fixable as PHP.

That's a novel idea, they could call it TypeScript.
Oh, wait.
