what farkarkles me off no end is that i have an XBox 360 (a bloody PC) and the buggers (M$) wont even let me have an internet browser on it unless I pay for it.
Furthermore I walk to my desktop PC and there are more "free" online games than i can point a Balmer stick at. Not a lot of "free" stuff on the XBox.
So it sits there and doesnt get used. I'm sure M$ had exactly that in mind.
What did my XBOX last get used for? Playing dvd's (breaking Bad as it happens)

Sounds like how I used my XBox when I had it.

New survey of 2,200 developers and IT executives finds most focus and will continue to focus on desktop applications, with mobile apps secondary. I usually ignore hoopla, until it becomes a foofaraw

Mono 3.8.0 was released last week. It comes with several performance and scalability improvements across the runtime, as well as finishes the Windows port. They ported Mono ... to Windows. Well, that should get a lot of use.

Hmmm... tempting... One Framework to rule them all would be great. The price just has to come down to parity with .net .
How's the OpenVMS port coming along?

What the hell does this sentence mean:
JIT better handles long remainders by powers of two, generating significantly better code. Long remainders were not handled specially earlier, like Int remainders were.
What's a long remainder? Int's have remainders? I thought ints were, well, integers! 
That's got to be one of the more obtuse "gee, see what great things we did!" bullet items I've read this year, and it's at the top of the list!

The Windows 9 public preview coming at the end of the month is going to ask for feedback almost to the point of annoyance. "Do you really want to make me cry?"

Do you hear me now?, do you....
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

"Unless you can guarantee a clean upgrade to W9 RTM, any feedback you get will be biased to the point of uselessness because all you'll see is snags from VM puttering; not real world use."

Definitely right. I've given up on installing OS betas on usable machines, and the usual upgrade advice when RTM happens is, "Burn the machine to the ground and install". So, they'll optimize for Parallels et al.

I only did it once: Weven beta on a netbook; but that was with the intent of burning the existing OS install to the ground in the near future anyway and with the system not really mattering since I barely installed anything beyond a Mirc, FF, and Opera on it.

Ask Google next time. They made it deliberately a pain to find (because they really want you to create the MS account you need for the crApp store); but there's a way to only have a local login account.

That phrase "I'm listening" or "we're listening" is analogous to what the cow excrement says to the cow: "do you hear me??? I'm the Bull S***!!!!"

I used to be excited about new versions of Windows...Vista kinda cured me of it though.

Now which part of the article isn't speculation?
|
|
|
|
|
That there will be a future Windows?
On the other hand, whatever it is (8.2 or - more likely - 9) is in some people's hands, so it may be less than speculation.

Nope, is that Windows 9? I thinks this is 8.2, mix the sh** of windows 8 and the old part from Windows 7. I am using a using a wide screen monitor and I want a beautiful UI even when zoom in details, and MS bring the UI from phone to tablet, tablet to PC/Laptop. And let see what's happen when use a big screen with modern UI jump in all screen with a single color =)) And I can't understand why MS can separate the Settings into 2 place: Control Panel and Modern UI.

Much of the information is old and potentially out-of-date, Google representatives told Russian media, so the so-called “leak” may be more accurately described as a collection of phished and hacked credentials collected over years. It was just a matter of time, I guess
