Great find! The one thing we have learned from history is that we don't learn from history. I guess that motto applies very well in this scenario.

Launching its new Anti-Exploit software, Malwarebytes sets out to seal up the most-feared security gaps in browsers, PDF readers, Java, and Microsoft Office. Stop me if you've heard this one before...

Quote: "Not a single zero-day has gotten through since the first beta, which let three vulnerabilities through. Even year-old versions" have protected against exploits attempting to use new zero-days, he said.
The beta has been running with "tens of thousands" of users, Kleczynski said.
Ofc with a user base this small; even if some of the exploitkit developers have gotten in the beta and found ways to break it, they're not going to release their work publicly yet. Once this becomes generally available, it'll get added to the list of detectors that they'll tweak their exploits against until it fails to stop them prior to releasing them publicly. 
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?

For some years now, NASA's Harold White has been working on the possibility of a warp drive engine. This is the concept ship that might be powered by that engine. Step 1: Get the pretty drawings Step 2: Figure out if it's even remotely possible

And, assuming this is purely for deep space travel, there is no reason at all for sleek curves.

Surely they make it go faster?

The article is about designing graphics for a star trek shisp and has nothing to do with warp drives at nasa... other than the fact that this was paid for by nasa with tax payer money... unbelievable.

I'm happy to announce NativeScript framework. NativeScript framework enables developers to use pure JavaScript language to build native mobile applications running on all major mobile platforms - Apple iOS, Google Android and Windows Universal. And one language to bring them all, and in the mobile, bind them

That's great except for the fact that it's in my most dreaded language... JavaScript

On May 4, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Google had not only copied code, but by recreating the functionality of Oracle's APIs, it was also infringing on Oracle's copyrights. The decision insinuates that a developer who implements a standard or specification can now be open to lawsuit by the specification's creator. If it sounds like this type of ruling would break the entire foundation of software development, that's because it does.

Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology.
I had a good line for this, but Elon Musk beat me to it.

There's been a lot of hype surrounding Apple's Swift language since its release. Some have claimed that, thanks to its support for optional types, it solves the null reference problem, Tony Hoare's "billion-dollar mistake". But that's not quite true. Let's see why.
Maybe Swift isn't that almighty, infallible incarnation of Objective-C everyone is heralding it as.

By trying to solve the problem of negligence (and a NullReferenceException is typically caused by some kind of negligence somewhere), it will only cause more negligence.

I agree, the NullReferenceException is not the problem, it's the symptom.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate humankind in two distinct categories, and those who don't.

Microsoft partners looking to diversify their practices might have a hard time finding viable alternatives. And no, Google isn't one. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

It's funny just a week ago Microsoft broke our partnership because they noticed that the application in the last exam does not support Windows Server 2012... A few interesting things:
1. Our next exam is in 4 months and we are preparing our app with all the requirements
2. With the previous exam 2012 wasn't between the requirements
3. Microsoft didn't send us a notice of any kind, we just realized that all our Visual Studio 2013 instances (connected to the Microsoft partner MSDN account) failed to start.
4. When logged in we realized that our MSDN is marked 'expired' with a mystical code assigned. We contacted Microsoft with that code and then realized what the problem is
So tell me why one should love to be Microsoft Partner and not to look for alternatives!!!

I've heard more than a few stories like this one. And yeah, they definitely don't give one the warm fuzzies. The problem is (and what the article discusses), is that there just aren't that many alternatives.

Yet! But like with very much everything - if someone looks for someone will provide. The sooner the better!
