The top ten quality is getting degraded over time period.

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?

Angry Birds, Flappy Bird...yeah, it seems people are going cuckoo over bird-based games.
I blame Duck Hunt.
Ooh, hey up, I've got some code for summat like that I wrote about 20 years ago...somewhere... [rifles through boxes of 3.5" disks and ancient HDDs]

The long-rumored smartphone for developing markets is expected to make its debut at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.
So Normandy will debut in Spain? That doesn't sound right.

The Wine on Android project is still focused upon supporting Windows binaries on Android for both Intel x86 and ARM devices.
I hope this happens, just so I could download "Red, red wine" as the permanent ringtone.

On the surface, it may seem that adopting a cloud solution for development and testing is as simple as swiping a credit card and firing up the service. A good cloud deployment requires having a handle on flexibility, monitoring, performance, interoperability and security.
There's more than one way to skin a cat, but the other ways are a lot messier.

Microsoft's co-founder dishes on everything from a global condom competition to Bitcoin to his advice for aspiring computer science students. I'm sure a lot of us have made that same guilty purchase

I couldn't find a link to the actual Reddit discussion in the article - there was one to the last year's AMA with Gates.

I’ve lived through waterfall/BDUF (big design up front), structured programming, top-down, bottom-up, modular design, components, agile, Scrum, extreme, TDD, OOP, rapid prototyping, RAD, and probably others I’ve forgotten about. I’m not convinced any of these things work. People

Preach it. We're currently going through a stage where SCRUM and DDD are apparently some magic bullet that will solve all the world's problems. At least that's what I'm seeing.
Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."
- "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."

Psst... the methodology isn't the problem.
Though after a few decades of this madness I'll say iterative/Agile/Xp hits at the core of working. And TDD is awesome.
The trick is getting people to do it and knock off the "I'm a unique delicate snowflake and like to work my own way" nonsense.
