I'd feel sorry for all the companies and organizations that are telling me that what used to be something important is now just a target for me to elephant with; but the sunshines deserve every bit of breakage I inflict on them for designing systems with the intend of elephanting with my head to make me do something.
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?

The Microsoft Office team has also been working toward a new generation of “app experiences” for a modern generation of devices. In the future, they'll get rid of the app, and replace it with a larger ribbon

The recent security weakness found in both iOS and OS X hints at flaws in coding style guidelines, unit testing, system testing, code review policies, error management strategies, and tools deployment. "GOTO considered harmful"

A good article which tells us about so many different things which can go wrong in programming. Do not stop reading it to early, it far more than that "goto"!

One reason I always add braces to my if statements and all other control statements. Not sure that would have stopped this error though. Treating warnings as errors probably would have, since I'm "sure" the compiler warned about the unreachable code.

He first notices that the file containing the bug "is not routinely formatted automatically: There are plenty of inconsistent spaces, tabs, and code in comments," No amount of rule-of-thumbs or best-practices that can save one if the code is unreadable.
Langley writes in his blog that he thinks that code reviews could be effective to prevent such kind of issues. Code reviews are a lousy way of providing training.

Like I said, use the compile flag to report warnings as errors. That would have caught the bug. It's certainly not a panacea, nothing is, but it's a good tool to use.
Code Reviews are good for what they're intended, and had this code been competently reviewed the issue would have been found. That's the problem with CR's: competence.

A new job posting for a newly formed team at Microsoft, dubbed initially as "New Devices and Gaming", gives some clues as to where Redmond is looking next for dominance. While Xbox 360, Xbox One and Live games are exclusive to Microsoft products, there appears to be a new strategy materializing. "If I'm telling you the truth right now, do you believe it? Games people play in the middle of the night"

Agreed - but that is mobile as primary platform. Mobile as additional info/context sensitive input device might be good.

Yeah. But by the looks of it this team is purely for mobile devices.

Microsoft is currently experimenting with a free version of Windows 8.1 that could boost the number of people using the operating system. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the company is building "Windows 8.1 with Bing," a version that will bundle key Microsoft apps and services. Because "bundling" went so well for them in the past
