This opinionated, introductory guide is intended for the Java programmer (all 9 million of them) who wants to learn how to write modern, lean Java, or for the Python/Ruby/Javascript programmer who’s heard (or may have experienced) bad things about Java and is curious to see how things have changed and how they can get Java’s awesome performance, flexibility and monitoring without sacrificing too much coolness. Good, because I think my Father's Java was powered by liqour.

The history of BASIC. "Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day."

The article seems to crash my Droid after causing it to overheat even more than Google Maps does.
<snarky>Was it written in BASIC?</snarky>
"And the thing is, some of the characteristics that have given BASIC a bad reputation are precisely the same ones that made it so easy to learn."
is perhaps more accurate as:
"And the thing is, some of the characteristics that made it so easy to learn are precisely the same ones that have given BASIC a bad reputation."
Oh, I guess snarky was still on.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Government regulators around the world have spent the last year scrambling to prevent bitcoin from becoming the currency of choice for money launderers and black marketeers. Now their worst fears may be about to materialize in a single piece of software. The Dark Mark is Coming.

This is it. This Tron-inspired design will be NASA's next generation spacesuit—the first that actually looks from the future and not a variation of the original 1960s suits from the Apollo program. With its glass 360-degree view and integrated Heads Up Display ready to detect xenomorphs, it would look right at home in any sci-fi movie. I hear Sandra Bullock and George Clooney will be showing off the new suits on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week.

I like it!
But the first thing that Sandra Bullock will ask George is; "Does this suit make my butt look big?"
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Sony has created a magnetic tape material that can store up to 74 times more data per unit area than materials in use today. Maybe the folks in charge of the US nuclear arsenal should get on the phone with Sony?

People from all over the political spectrum are up in arms this week, following a 60 Minutes report on the state of the US nuclear arsenal. Particularly, the segment exposes the old and seemingly outdated technology that controls and underlies these most powerful of weapons. The phones are old, chunky physical types. The switch-boards have those big mechanical switches and flashy lights. And the paramount sin: Many of the records are kept on 8 inch floppy disks. Yeah you read that right. Not even 3.5-inch floppys. "8-inch 4 lyfe"

The old stuff might be less fragile than then new stuff. Old stuff tends to be overengineered, and later they take the time to do the same thing with the least and cheapest materials they can find.

With the expansion of Google Glass' Explorer program earlier this month came more digital-eyewear shoppers—and, not long after, more scrutiny. Once Glass's second purchasing wave got its hands on Google's wearable tech, a few cost-curious shoppers didn't wait long to take their new, $1,500 devices apart. The other $1,400 is just the cost of being cool. Duh.

This article, the first in a two-part series, provides a sample application that solves algorithms on the GPUs using Microsoft C++ AMP parallel technology and demonstrates how to debug the code running on the GPU from inside Visual Studio. If you're good, you get Part 2: tiling. But only if you're good.
