Point well taken. I guess you could say I'm "mature", haha.

Google and its Android mobile phone operating system are facing an antitrust investigation in Europe. But the roots of the probe stretch across the Atlantic and well into the past. But... it's open source. Nothing bad with that can happen, can it?

Companies that desperately need hot IT skills are ratcheting up salaries and bonuses to lure talented tech workers. Here's how to grab your fair share. "Always sunny In the rich man's world"

Old quote:
One thing each time,
And that done well,
Is a very good rule,
As many can tell.

If you are working in a noisy, and full of distractions environment, it sure you need 24 hours to done some work - the same work can be done - probably better - in 2 or 3 hours in a normal way...
I can see why Microsoft pushes it forward - it's a sale opportunity. But if it is so real, wanted and good why Microsoft do not send home all their employee I wonder?

Why would anyone over thirty even consider working there? Yuck!

Good question - everything I've seen of it seems to make it look like extended grad school. Not a place I would even consider.

How to make Agile stick: both IT professionals and their employers need a 'software craftsman' mindset that addresses each project with extreme quality and care -- despite deadline pressures. "He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."

Knowing is not the same as doing.
I think the real source of the problem here is "pure-software" project managers. I think that projects should be seen as larger than their software component and managed by the beneficiary. The artificial separation these people create is harmful to both the business (by hiding the possibilities that are available through software) and to the developers (by imposing somewhat arbitrary measures of completeness and goodness that don't align to business value delivered.)
The embarrassing truth is that a business manager with the right tools (like burndown charts etc.) is far more effective (in my experience) than a software manager because they have the possibility to say "that feature is not important".

"Cortana, that’s perhaps the thing that’s going to change personal productivity even most and especially with Windows 10." Most people are already talking to their computers, now it can swear back

I'm going to take a wild guess that even if, in a fit of insanity, I were to connect a microphone to my PC (Hi Admiral Rogers); I'd find that saying "Hi Cortana, please start the best browser to download another browser and download a browser that doesn't suck" would take longer than clicking that big blue e and typing www.getfirefox.com.

Quote: and download a browser that doesn't suck"
You mean you download Firefox in order to download Chrome? You can get Chrome directly using IE you know.
I have just finished working on an HTML editor that has to work on IE9+, Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Of all of these, Firefox has given me the most headaches! I haven't tried Opera but I was not required to support it (it is for use on our company intranet so we have a small measure of control).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Why, is Chrome, the preferred tool to install Lynx these days?
