We’re committed to the success of the developer community, and we’ve been proactively working with third-party development tool vendors to ensure that their developers can take advantage of the monetization opportunities and global user base on the Windows platforms. The latest of these shops is Marmalade, which just released the final version of Marmalade 7, their cross-platform C++ SDK that includes support for Windows Phone 8, ending the beta phase.
Hundreds of Marmalade developers have already taken advantage of the opportunity to develop for the Windows Phone Store, and to participate in Marmalade’s special offer*, with rewards for porting your app to the Windows Phone Store. The Marmalade offer closes on December 31, 2013, so don’t miss your chance to participate. Voulez-vous programmer avec moi ce soir?

Open source databases PostgreSQL and MariaDB are making strides, but need more than technical edge or lower price to attract Oracle customers. Mental note: stop signing support contracts in blood

Up until now, our open source repository has just included the EF runtime. We have now moved the EF Tooling code into the same open source repository. You can find instructions on how to work with the EF Tools code on our CodePlex site. Oh, that's how they did that

LINQ was one of the best things that happened to the .NET software engineering ecosystem in a long time. With its introduction of lambda expressions and monads in Visual Studio 2008, it had catapulted the C# language way ahead of Java, which was at version 6 at the time, still discussing the pros and cons of generic type erasure. var feature = from f in CS.features where f.supports(query) && f.contains("Anders' coolness") select f

Great news,
As a C#/Linq programmer I'm impressed with this new functionality on Java 8. This kind of investment can only bring improvements for the software development.
My answer to your question would be NO, java doesn't need LINQ..  for the java 8 development

Depression is a topic that many of us have struggled with over the years and we have always thought that there might be more people out there that did than, ‘just us’. We have been looking for someone who could do this subject justice for years and we asked Greg to do a half hour talk instead. Please watch it. If it doesn’t affect you directly, it is almost inconceivable that it doesn’t affect someone close to you. "Life? Don't talk to me about life." (video)

A 4TB four-platter Cinemastar drive could become a 7TB seven-platter helium drive, and a five-platter 4TB MegaScale, spinning at 5,700rpm, could become a 5.6TB Helium MegaScale with seven platters – at least that’s the theory.

Yeah - let's use a dwindling resource[^] that can't be replenished to make hard-drives! Can't see anything going wrong with that plan.

/shrug. Who knows - beyond a few CGI Federal developers and/or their overseers. As the bulk of it is likely generated code, I wouldn't be surprised though.
That's just one number out of many on this list, and even without that one number (two if you count the estimated fix lines), I still think the list is interesting. Finding out that VS supposedly has more LoC than Office, for example.
