Top tier management level roles now require less programming and more administration. Are big IT companies the only ones offering senior programming roles? Many in the IT sector are calling for change. Your daily dose of, "he's an idiot to post this here."

Oh dear, that boy does not understand software development from an organisational point of view. There are many roles required (developer, designer/architect, tester, product manager, project manager, scrum master, product owner, etc. depending on the style used), some with different skill levels (junior/senior), and what those roles are expected to do. A "managing" role is not for writing code.

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.

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)
