Katana creates a server implementation of the work done in the independent open source project called the Open Web Interface for .NET (OWIN). OWIN defines interactions between Web servers and application components. The vision for Katana is a broad and vibrant ecosystem of Microsoft .NET Framework-based Web servers and application components. Katana adds some of these OWIN-based capabilities with built-in bindings to frameworks such as SignalR and the ASP.NET Web API. "Now it cuts like a knife, but it feels so right"

Microsoft has a fascination with big screens. The software giant has demonstrated Windows 8 on its 82-inch Perceptive Pixel PC and created giant displays with Kinect built in. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates even uses a giant 80-inch Windows 8 display occasionally. Today, however, Microsoft is going one step further. At one of London’s biggest tourist attractions, Trafalgar Square, the company has created a 383-inch Surface tablet. I wonder if the touch screen works?

Au contraire, they've got it spot on.
How big was your mobile phone a year ago, how big is the one you've got now, and how big is the one you're thinking of buying next year?
In 20 years, you'll need a truck to carry your phone.

Well, my personal mobile is smaller this year than the one I had last year.

Web tracking is far more pervasive and invisible than ever, thanks to browser fingerprinting and third-party aggregation "Remember: no matter where you go... there you are."

Version 2.0 of popular JavaScript framework will also boost asynchronous dependency injection Coming soon to a Website design meeting near you
And the nightmare quote from the article: "We really would love to get to a situation where, on a single Web page, you could have multiple frameworks actually cooperating together."

I wonder if Google will also boot their own Android 2.x browser while they're kicking widely used crap browsers? According to jquery after dumping legacy IE it was their largest remaining source of browser specific kludge arounds.

I guess they need someone to give them the source so they can fix it? 
I'm actually surprised: I'd have thought Safari/mobile would be the next worst browser.

Google's fixes for the 2.x crap browser are called Android 4.x and Chrome for Android.

Microsoft announced that it rolled out a load of new capabilities to Azure yesterday afternoon. What struck me as I read through the lengthy blog post about the updates was how deeply Microsoft is integrating Azure into other products. "When I woke up tonight I said I'm gonna make somebody love me"

Apple threw a bit of smack talk Microsoft's way during its big iPad presentation yesterday. While CEO Tim Cook didn't specifically call out Microsoft, he said Apple's competition was "confused." "Now they're trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs," Cook said in an obvious shot at Microsoft's Surface lineup. "Who knows what they'll do next?" That wasn't the only dig — Apple positioned its now-free iWork suite as a feature-rich alternative to Microsoft's Office, and Redmond noticed. We're back to Apple vs. Microsoft? Good times return.

Yeah, but it's kinda lame:
Side A "Your tablet sucks!"
Side B: "No, your tablet sucks!"
Apple did 6 Billion in sales of the iPad; Microsoft's done 853 Million[^] (Total tablet sales from all brands combined is reported at 12.6 Billion[^])

JSIL is a .NET to JavaScript compiler converting Common Intermediate Language (CIL) into cross-browser JavaScript that runs on all major engines - V8, SpiderMonkey, Chakra and JavaScriptCore-. JSIL compiles C#, VB.NET and F# into corresponding JavaScript. Some people need a new hobby (thanks Paulo Augusto Künzel)

Yeah, sorry. That should be it. Of course, now that I look at it. That was copied from the Computerworld article. Good thing I'm not the only slack editor.

Once you have your own web server, it’s very important to keep a close eye on what resources are being consumed. If all the gauges are in the red, that means it's good, right?
