For many of us, the most shocking revelation to come out of CERN's Higgs boson announcement today was quite unrelated to the science itself. Rather, we were blown away by the fact that a team made up of some of the most undoubtedly brilliant people in the world believe that Comic Sans is an appropriate font for such a historic occasion. It looks like you're searching for the Higgs Boson. Would you like help?

This is an amazing gadget. I started programming on Radio-86RK in machine code typing in the Monitor. Same here. Also, the issue of the magazine, which GMC-4 is bundled with, according to illustrations (unfortunately, I don’t read Japanese), is dedicated to the history of microprocessors starting from Intel 4004. Then there is a dozen of code examples and projects using GMC-4. Beautiful! DIY FTW!

The terms of POP3, IMAP & SMTP are often heard when setting up mail client configuration in computer or SmartPhone, even now many of mobile phones with a low entry price was already equipped with email facilities. But do you know what are they meant by POP3, IMAP & SMTP? Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor poor connectivity stays these couriers...

Microsoft Office 13 was seen in an image of Windows RT pre-RTM build revealing the Office 13’s icons for Excel, Word, PowerPoint and OneNote. Interestingly, the Office apps are named as Word 15, Excel 15, PowerPoint 15 and OneNote 15 while we already know that it is code named as Office 13 by Microsoft. The image also reveals the build number of Windows RT Pre-RTM which is a bit older with compile date of June 11, 2012.

Office 15 is internal code name for the next version of Office. For instance, Office 2010 was internally called Office 14, and Office 2007 was Office 12 (yes, there is no Office 13  ). As for the final name for Office 15, it has not been published yet, but it is more likely to be Office 2013 than Office 13.

HELSINKI: A new operating system for mobile phones akin to the Mozilla Firefox internet browser has got the backing of several major telecom companies, turning up the heat on Google and Apple in the smartphone market.
Mozilla said on Monday that mobile network operators Deutsche Telekom, Sprint, Smart, Telecom Italia , Telenor and Etisalat are backing the Firefox platform.
The non-profit organisation which evolved from Netscape after the internet browser wars 14 years ago, said phone makers ZTE and TCL Communication Technology will roll out the first Firefox OS phones using Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors in early 2013.

Quote: According to John Swainson, president of Dell Software, Dell will make no bones about the fact that going forward, it will strongly favor its own intellectual property over any competitive third-party software offerings that it competes with as part of an effort to give customers a more complete experience.
Remarkable turnaround for a company once known only as a PC manufacturer.

Dell came to the conclusion that there isn't much money in moving boxes rather late in the game.
But consider the fact that Dell's business plan ensured that most of the inventory was paid for by the buyers.... you placed your order and paid and waited for delivery... that is why I say that the inventory -- as well as the labor charges -- was being paid for by buyers. And of course the component suppliers were paid 30 days later so Dell lived very well on the float!
Despite that, it managed to piss away its earnings on bloated corporate overhead.
Conclusion: Bloat destroys float!

I only hope they don't start to make a Dell OS based on Android or something like that.

Should it be named new DOS (Dell Operating System)?

Where can I go to learn Windows 8? What material is available? There is a LOT of content available for Windows 8. For me personally I learnt initially from the Windows 8 Camp in a box and building my own test apps. However the ever amazing Bruce Nicholson provided me with a fantastic list recently. Are your apps ready for the Windows 8 launch?

Ex-Apple Employee Reveals The Biggest Complaints Developers Have About Working With Apple
If you want to know how iOS developers really feel about working with Apple, just ask Mike Lee. Lee has had plenty of interactions with developers, both as a former senior engineer at Apple, where he worked on the company's Worldwide Developer Relations team, and as the head of Appsterdam, a movement to bring together indie developers. Along the way, Lee has overheard more than a few developer complaints. One thing is certain: developers will complain about anything.

Would you complain about free BACON for life?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.
Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H
OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre
I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer
Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

Yes, because it's not free beer and BACON for life.

An increasing number of web development tools are now coming out that are themselves written in web development languages. In fact any project that needs a highly mutable or modifiable UI is a good candidate for being written in web languages. Here are a few of the latest web-based web development tools. Marked up for markup.

Have you ever peeked into the source code of any of the applications you run every day? Ever used make install to install some application? You will see make in most projects. It enables developers to easily compile large and complex programs with many components. It’s also used for writing maintenance scripts based on timestamps. This article shows you how to have fun with make. Good, old-school, command-line builds.

What is all this fuss about the Higgs boson? The physics community is abuzz that a fundamental particle expected by the largely successful Standard Model of particle physics may soon be found by the huge Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Europe. Here's an explanation for the non-physicist. Tiny explosions that reveal the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

It's turned into science's worst-kept secret. Tomorrow, physicists at CERN near Geneva in Switzerland are expected to announce the discovery of the Higgs boson, the culmination of a 50-year quest to find the elusive particle that gives others their mass. Here's how they got there. It's the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.

Analyzing one of American corporate history’s greatest mysteries—the lost decade of Microsoft, Kurt Eichenwald traces the “astonishingly foolish management decisions” at the company that “could serve as a business-school case study on the pitfalls of success.” Relying on dozens of interviews and internal corporate records—including e-mails between executives at the company’s highest ranks—Eichenwald offers an unprecedented view of life inside Microsoft during the reign of its current chief executive, Steve Ballmer. They used to point their finger at IBM and laugh.
