IF that article represents the sites typical quality, I think I may have a new top flaming target. Infoworthless's drivel is at least semi-competently written however content free it may be.
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?

Microsoft is planning to take security to the next level by the time Windows 10 is released to the public in 2015. Does this mean UAC is making a comeback?

Within the article: "“Recently, the New York Times reported that 1.2 billion usernames and passwords were stolen by a single cybercrime organization. Which is scary considering there are only about 1.8 billion people online worldwide.”
Seems someone didn't consider that there may be some duplicates. I, for one, have at least 20 user names and passwords.

And a comment that made me, er, shudder, below-the-line:

"I will definitely install Kaspersky on Windows 10 although Windows Defender will be better."
WTF

Progress Software has a wide portfolio of development, deployment, integration and management applications, such as the OpenEdge, Pacific and Modulus platforms. The addition of Telerik’s developer tool offerings—including the Kendo UI framework and UIs for Web and mobile development—augments the wider Progress enterprise application platform for the rapid development of data-driven applications for any cloud or device, according to the company. Looks like Telerik's making some progress....pun intended!

They’ve been in business since 1981 and their technology is used by nearly 140,000 organizations in more than 180 countries, including 90% of the Fortune 500.
Never heard of them before this, and their website is a hideous color.

"DataDirect" is a good product - we used it to fix a regulatory hole in one system a few years back to give us encrypted ODBC.

The new Gmail app from the Gmail team isn't technically just an email app, at least if you ask them. It's called "Inbox," and it's being released as an invite-only system that works on the web, Android phones, and iPhones. A new place for all your spam!

Microsoft today launched a new section on its website: The Microsoft Garage is designed to give the public early access to various projects the company is testing right now. The team is kicking off with a total of 16 free consumer-facing apps, spanning Android, Android Wear, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, and even the Xbox One. Time for a garage sale?

Microsoft has released Windows 10 build 9860 today and if you haven't downloaded it yet, here is how you can do so. Along with the new release, Microsoft is introducing a new cadence option for how quickly you will receive new builds. Daily Windows build updates? That could be ... interesting

Yep, they're crowdsourcing their dogfooding. Why run a big test environment and pay for it when there are enough people out there who are willing to do it for free?

Everybody knows that by far the coolest part of Back to the Future: Part II is the scene where Marty McFly escapes his arch-nemesis by zooming through the air on his rad Mattel hoverboard. And every year since then, we've said to ourselves, “Well, where are our hoverboards? We were promised hoverboards!” More or less (but mostly less)
|

|
|
|

Different one. That previous one was a hoax (if I remember correctly).
This one is hardly a hoverboard, but they're making it look like that for the attention. It's more like a small, relatively efficient maglev. As I understand it they are more going for industrial uses, but the hoverboard gets the attention.

Each compiler could report after the build many warnings. These warnings won’t keep your code from compiling except if you decide to treat them as errors. Don’t hesitate to take a look as these warnings instead of ignoring them. Indeed compiler warnings are often indicators of future bugs that you would see only at runtime. Belt and suspenders FTW

Bookmarked. Not something I need at the moment; but in a few months I've got an MSVC++ salvage attempt project (pre VS2002 format solution, customer is currently running it on NT4) scheduled. Assuming it doesn't quickly turn out to be a lost cause (win16 code, 3rd party binary only libraries) I expect to have a huge amount of crap to flush before getting it not just to work but to comply with current IA requirements.

The dearth of software development talent isn’t an issue restricted to U.S. businesses. Finding programmers, especially to fill positions in the growing field of health IT, is a global challenge, said speakers Tuesday during a panel discussion on developing a health IT workforce. Sounds like a good business to be in then
