Absolutely right. Sad (and I have to admit I do like being a freelancer - sometimes), but it is definitely benefiting many company's bottom line.

I sometimes think that the world in a hundred years will be much like it was in that old Charlton Heston movie 'Soylent Green'.. minus the people eating.. I hope ;o)

Google Stars, the long-rumored bookmarking service from Google, has now publicly launched, but with little fanfare. Try it before they cancel it
|
|
|
|
|
|
They probably won't cancel it, they'll just wait until you get used to it then change everything about it and call it 2.0
Sorry I'm still a little bitter...

TIOBE’s latest ranking of programming languages suggests Dart is making progress at JavaScript’s expense, but other data show that’s not the case. I'd put more dart lingo here, if I knew any

A month of solid, focussed coding....try to get from idea to release in 30 days. 'Tis the season

But all ideas are turkeys.

Gobble up those ideas.

Neural Turing Machines attempt to emulate the brain's short-term memory. At last! I'll be able to have a short-term memory

I hope they're not attempting to emulate my short-term memory

Microsoft's Black Tuesday problems continue to pile up. Yesterday brought to light problems with KB 2952664, the seventh patch with that name, which fails to install on a large number of Windows 7 machines. Now there are reports of four more botched patches. It's too early to tell exactly what's causing the problems, but if you're having headaches, you aren't alone -- and there are solutions.
Next they will botch botching things!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

We can only dream of Micro$haft botching a botch.
For, that would mean they did things correct for a change.

Mainstream programmers are increasingly expected to be comfortable not just with object-oriented terminology, but with the jargon and mindset of the functional community. "It's a floor wax, and a dessert topping!"

Artificial intelligence researchers have own worries about intelligent systems. The idea of people all buying electric cars though, completely bonkers.

Intelligence does not include a survival-reflex, nor does it imply self-awareness or fear of death.
Let's hope the researchers do find some intelligence.

Drupal urged users to apply an update on Oct. 13, but only those who patched within seven hours may be in the clear. As I imagine there might be a few affected here

The funny part is that the vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw that occurs in a module that's designed to prevent SQL injection attacks...

Perl 6 is a language specification. There is an implementation of it called Rakudo, and a distribution of Rakudo called Rakudo Star. For the one person still waiting for perl 6
