Apple's high-end 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition will be a luxury priced item and the most expensive it has ever offered, starting at $10,000 and available in extremely limited quantities, the company revealed on Monday. Also: demand

Medical research is plagued by small sample sizes and inconsistent data collection. So Apple is stepping up to help health innovation with Research Kit, a new iOS app that lets people volunteer to join medical research studies. iColonoscopy

It's open source; so it is good news.
I'd rather be phishing!

That is absolutely false... marketing at it best/worst I suppose.

In Germany the companies all are crying for specialists aka "Fachkräfte". Interesting is what our "Fachkräfte" are discussing in chats on such messages like in the most admired heise news.
Too make it a short business case: "Who pays peanut, will get monkeys"

Mine, or theirs?

As long as a company does not have to waste (!) money on something that does not increase sales, it won't. Yes, it'll be an important topic in the meetings, but it will not materialize during your scrum.

Heed the wisdom of your programming elders, or suffer the consequences of fundamentally flawed code. Just use two bytes for that year field. This isn't going to be in production that long.

Nyuk! Nyuk! That's funny stuff, right there.
I guess because it's true. Who would use software for 100 years?
Most software I don't want to use for 100 seconds.
Where's the update!?!

That implies the customer needs a new release. It will be expensive

Yes, one byte is more than enough!

A U.S. space probe slipped into orbit around Ceres, a miniature planet beyond Mars believed to be left over from the formation of the solar system, NASA said on Friday. I think it prefers 'planet of short stature'

Apple's head of design says in an interview that there are emotional reasons why the iPhone needs regular recharging. "You can never be too rich or too thin."
He's too rich, your phone is too thin, apparently.

I tell that to the customers of my software "You just love the bugs. You just can't wait to start my software and find out what error crashes it this time! Sure, I could fix them for you, but it would take all the adventure out of using my software. What did you say? It doesn't crash all that often? Just wait until the next update! It'll be ehhh... adventurous!"
