The project also got a crucial assist from Microsoft Research, which tested out the classical simulations on its high-powered computer clusters

Ever wanted to put your phone in your pocket and have it charge? Well, those with compatible wireless devices will soon have the means to fulfill their dreams thanks to British designer Adrien Sauvage. Sauvage has partnered with Microsoft to create a pair of trousers that can wirelessly charge compatible mobile devices. Are you happy to see me, or are you just charging your iPad?

Wasn't there an article the other day about the danger of carrying your cell phone in your trousers pocket?

The HTML5 Web specification that's used in browsers today is on track for "Recommendation" status, perhaps by year's end. Then we can expect full browser support by decade's end
|
|

Let make it clear. On the 17th W3C made the last call upon HTML5, that means that only one month left for bug reports (no feature request anymore), and then it will be out within few months, depending on the amount of the work the team have to do...
BUT!!! And this is a very huge but! It's only about the real HTML part of the HTML5 concept. It does not contain the over 200 JavaScript libraries proposed with HTML5...I believe that support for the new HTML features - as long as it concerns new tags - is here for most of the browsers (OK not for IE), but that's the easy part! So, end of decade? Sounds too optimistic...
(By the way, on the same day work started on HTML5.1!)

And another decade after that for market share of Legacy IE versions that don't support all of it to fade away enough we can stop caring about them.

Today we are happy to announce the release of Go 1.3. This release comes six months after our last major release and provides better performance, improved tools, support for running Go in new environments, and more. Now with that vital - and missed - support for Plan 9

It's not exactly a new direction - they've been embracing open source in dev div for several years now - Gigaom only just noticed?

Yeah, it takes time for news to filter down to the bottom feeders. It's probably at least one more year before some of the most worthless bits of insider filler catch on.

Microsoft ended support for XP two months ago, yet consumers are still proving resistant to change, and many businesses are similarly reluctant to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. If it's not hacked, don't fix it?

The Google "Fun Propulsion Labs" team has recently open-sourced FlatBuffers. Built especially to support performance needs of game developers, FlatBuffers stores serialized data in buffers which can be either stored in files or transferred across the network as-is, without any parsing overhead. Google "Fun Propulsion Labs"? I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

The offsite backups were deleted? (or in fact were the tapes blank and not tested?)
