Mozilla and Unity today announced plans to bring Unity-authored games to the Web that can be played without the need to install anything other than a browser. Unity will be releasing a WebGL add-on as part of Unity 5.0 later this year, allowing millions of its developers to export their projects directly to the Web without the friction of plugins while hopefully still delivering smooth gameplay. OK, I could have sworn I did this one, but apparently that was something else

Hawking has a history of making bets with other physicists about his theories. Until now, he’s yet to win any of them (or at least those that have been publicized). But with Harvard University researchers discovering that the universe expanded exponentially after the big bang, Hawking says he’s finally put one in the win column.

Facebook has reached a major milestone in computer vision and pattern recognition, with ‘DeepFace,’ an algorithm capable of identifying a face in a crowd with 97.25 percent accuracy, which is pretty much on par with how good the average human is (97.5 percent accurate) at recognizing the faces of other walking, talking meat sacks. And nothing bad will come out of this

HP Software is refreshing its application life-cycle management (ALM) portfolio with new and updated versions that focus on testing for mobile and cloud-based applications. The release is the biggest portfolio release from the company since ALM 11 was announced more than two years ago, according to Kelly Emo, ALM and quality evangelist for HP.
I found the release of HP Sprinter for mobile interesting. I didn't release that many developers were still doing manual testing

723 patents and 61 lawsuits over the unique form factor of the screen. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A very tricky phishing scam that takes advantage of Google Docs is making its way around the web. And since it uses a google.com URL and even makes use of Google's SSL encryption, it's almost impossible to tell that it's a hack. Your best safeguard, as always, is a little bit of common sense. Beware of wolves in slightly less dangerous wolves' clothing

I found this blurb interesting:Quote: This year at its Build conference, Microsoft is expected to continue in that vein. Word has leaked that Microsoft is building a new version of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the framework for building desktop applications, that many believed Microsoft had abandoned the way it had Silverlight. It sounds like the new WPF will be one of the topics addressed at Build. (De Icaza told another person on Twitter yesterday that he'd recommend using WPF to build new projects.)

But WPF "has no plans to be supported on Mono" or at least that's what their site says. Hopefully WPF will be made to run on Mono, that would be impressive.

It is indeed. Microsoft is building up the WPF team as we speak.

In line with other MS moves to consolidate their tech stacks I'm thinking ... one XAML/runtimeAPI for WP8/Metro/Wpf-Desktop apps?

I wonder though if this is going to be some crappy "Windows 8 only" framework.
