I can't wait to try it. Amazing.
It's perfect for a project for a person with disability that I had in mind.

With an update expected to launch sometime tomorrow, the Xbox One’s YouTube app will have a new “My Uploads” section that lets you pluck videos from your One and toss them online with just a few button presses. You can trim the clip down or add commentary through the One’s built-in editor, or just toss them in raw. "I like to watch."
But really... why?

Microsoft last week announced it will shift its OData-related development tool efforts from WCF Data Services to ASP.NET Web API, moving WCF Data Services to open source for further development. That angered many frontline developers whose teams or companies have invested a lot of work in WCF Data Services and now feel abandoned. They now have to consider their options and move forward with a new strategy. Sound familiar? More[^]. I suspected before and they are doing it.[^].

I'm not shedding a tear, I always found the .NET 2.0 options like .NET remoting and web services very well put together and easy to use. I've pretty much skipped all of the W*F bloated frameworks, and so far very happy to.

I'm glad you are happy. May be the work you do won't require WCF and related techs so far. If so watch out W*F words from M$. Might be they will be changed to M*F words soon.

I was using a few extensions that are great for any web developer using Visual Studio 2013. I’ve compiled the list of extensions here and added a few additional ones that are really useful as well. "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this"

When I down a quad-shot cold-pour 20oz Mocha in 1/2 that time, I'm "ready* to go!
Geez, I'd hafta wait 100% that same 15 seconds just to start computing on my mobile device?
Not fast enough, I tell ya.

Microsoft's Scott Guthrie talks about his new role, priorities and plans for the company's powerful Cloud & Enterprise unit in his first press Q&A since becoming part of the Microsoft senior leadership team. Nothing Earth-shattering or cosmic, but... the Gu!

That's... pretty astounding right there. I've dealt with the 500-1000 range before and that's a bit goofy. I can't imagine what kind of issues come up when you start adding zeros to that number.

Now that the first C# 6 preview bits are available, that feels like exactly the right thing to set the keys clacking again. Don't expect anything massively insightful from me just yet; I'd heard Mads and Dustin (individually) talk about some new features of C# 6 at conferences, but this is the first opportunity I've had to play with the bits. There are more features to come, and I suspect that the ones we've got aren't in quite the shape they'll be in the end. Just a spoon full of (syntactic) sugar...

Years ago, Google figured out that users prize speed above almost everything when it comes to surfing the Web. They’re now applying that insight to courting developers, too, through a tool named Andromeda. "The universe is a dangerous place. But in our future my crew and I fight to make it safe."

Demand keeps growing and salaries keep rising for tech workers with the right skills. Our survey of more than 3,500 IT professionals reveals which jobs are hot -- and which are not. Seems like it's been a while since we did one of these; maybe a year?

The IBM mainframe is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The first System 360 mainframe was unveiled on 7 April 1964 and its arrival marked a break with all general purpose computers that came before.
The machines made it possible to upgrade the processors but still keep using the same code and peripherals from earlier models.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Research published in the MIT Technology Review offers that there seems a direct link between increased use of the Internet and a decline in religious dedication. Something about correlation and causation here
Mind you, using the internet in the confessional is probably a sign

The Internet certainly helps us to widen our view of the world, so the religions may have to adapt, but to what point?
During the service yesterday the priest started her preachment by refeering to Goooooogle when explaining "reconciliation". Is the search enginge our new god, having all the answers and knowing more about us than ourselves?
Maybe we have to reconcile us with that fact too?

The #1 request from the community has been “What about Windows apps?” Today, we relaunched the tool as Windows App Studio Beta. With this release, you can build a universal Windows app project that results in an app for Windows Phone and Windows, all in a single session. Beta time (and one of the few ways to make universal apps at the moment)
