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.

Today the most fertile ground for entrepreneurship is shifting from Silicon Valley to San Francisco. And that is where Microsoft must move if it hopes to break free of the yearning for a pension that keeps its people from the kind of thinking and action that spurs innovation that could accelerate Microsoft’s revenue growth. This is what happens when you legalize marijuana

Why? Is it now illegal for people to cross state borders to get to Silicon Valley?

It's the innovation trees. They only let native Silicon Valleyfolk (or at least the people living there) pick the sweet, sweet innovation berries.

They should stay in Redmond. The "innovation grass" should prove much more conducive than innovation trees...

With popularity, of course, comes insane fans who were not happy at all to learn the app would be removed from app stores. The app’s fans are so insane, in fact, that many of them replied to Dong’s tweet by threatening him with violence. Some people went as far as to threaten to murder the developer or even kill themselves if he pulled the app. I will be starting a collection to get these people a life
|
|
|
|
|
But surely these people already have the app, in order to be fans? 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah.
I'm guessing they think that somehow his removing the app from the various stores will reach down and pull it off of their phones.
Or something.
People.

Office Online, Microsoft's rebranded Office Web Apps, are inching closer toward launch. That should help Office sales

|

|
I hope that Microsoft will make 'Office Online' better than Office Web Apps...

If you had to “start over,” what are the technologies, languages, paradigms and platforms I need to be up-to-date and mastering in my new world of 2014? Lisp, Forth, and CGI for web apps of course
