IMHO - Their is nothing wrong with corporations being involved with development, as long as it is done correctly. Corporations can contribute much needed capital to hire the proper resources to ensure that something is done correctly.

Has anyone looked at the full report? I'm curious where MS is sitting in the long tail. Their Hyper-V drivers nearly got booted out of the kernel once a few years ago due to neglect triggering a second bust of massive contribution; I'm hoping they're not making the same mistake again.

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?

Over 200,000 people applied for the chance to visit the red planet and never come back. Now Mars One has whittled the applicant pool down to just 100. "Is there life on Mars?"

While the software maker has remained consistently quiet around its timing for cross-platform (universal) apps running on its gaming console, sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the company will start to allow more and more apps on the Xbox One by the end of the year.

Dear Linus,
If your major problem of Linux Kernel is the version-number schema, it is time for you to leave...
Sincerely,

Haha, the joke is on them, because my quadcore in my Nexus 7 is so busy doing nothing that it cannot even process their malware, so I guess Google+, GoogleNote, GoogleThing, GoogleBooks, GoogleMagazines, GooglePlay, GoogleSearch, GoogleTalk, GoogleAppWatcher, GoogleOtherThing, GoogleCpuEater, and all the rest have really played the joke on malware.

Microsoft has announced it has adopted ISO/IEC 27018, becoming the first major cloud provider to adopt the international privacy standard. "And that has made all the difference."

Quote: The standard ensures that Microsoft’s cloud services only process personally identifiable information based on each user’s individual privacy settings.
... so where is the setting that lets me say that no third parties are allowed to process my information on the MS cloud?
What's that you say? There isn't one. Well there's an elephanting surprise.

There may be no more surprising development in technology over the past year than Microsoft's radical transformation into an industry collaborator. "I'm a lover not a fighter"

Well, in a world where the war is becoming quite "normal", I really couldn't avoid to endorse things like that...

Quote: It is hard to make an atomic bomb not because the knowledge is restricted (though it is—if I, hypothetically, knew how to make an atomic bomb, it would be tremendously illegal for me to say anything about it)
... except that it's not. Back in the 80's a group a physics grad students successfully did a paper design; and got, IIRC off the record, confirmation from people who did it for real that their design probably would work. What would be tremendously illegal is joining your nations nuclear weapons program and then publishing their designs.
I wasn't impressed by the rest of the pile of elephant droppings trying to pass as an article either.

Amateur astronomers saw it, professional astronomers aren’t sure what it was. "I am inclined to think that this blaze may have been the casting of the huge gun, in the vast pit sunk into their planet, from which their shots were fired at us."
