Microsoft has recently announced that VSO has been awarded the ISO 27001 certification by the International Standards Organization for its data security and management system. This would alleviate concerns from enterprises over the security of the data that is hosted in the cloud. Uhm. Yay? "Permission to say, 'Huzzah' sir?"

If you ever worked for a company that has ISO, you know exactly how much is it worth...If you didn't, than take my word - next to nothing...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Meh. I'm sure the ISO 9001/14001 certified sign stuck on the front of my building wasn't cheap.
I'm even more sure that the burrocrazy it's added to everything isn't cheap either.
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?

After reaffirming his commitment to space tourism following Virgin Galactic's deadly crash in October, slightly absurd rocket enthusiast Richard Branson is tossing a chunk of his billions at a new project: former Google Satellite executive Greg Wyler's satellite-internet company OneWeb. "Come on, let's go space truckin'"

Eventually, we'll have to build Mega Maid[^] to take care of the satellite problem. For outer space, every spaceship will be equipped with giant snow blades.

DirectX, and any release pertaining to it, is big news in the PC gaming scene. With the software having a direct effect on the functionality of graphically intensive software and its requirements, players and developers alike have a strong interest in the path that DirectX takes. Make you think about buying a new video card?

To kick off the new year, University of Texas at Austin sophomore and “actual teen” Andrew Watts decided to write an essay about his thoughts on social apps, which was meant just for himself and his friends and maybe their friends to read. He put it up on Medium‘s Backchannel, on one of the social apps he wrote about, and the post blew up — and even received some backlash. Eleven days later, he found himself on a plane to SF, flown out on Aol’s dime, to talk to us about all things apps, what he wants to be when he grows up, and what he thinks about Foursquare in one word (“dead”).
This kid is on-point.

Developers are still going nuts for Apple’s new Swift programming language. Wait, didn't that other link say go JavaScript and Java? Now I'm so confused.
That's it. I'm going back to Hypercard.

That's crazy!

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
