When I think about how IE is faster on my machines, I'm mainly thinking in terms of page rendering performance after the first byte and animation/scrolling smoothness. Lately, I've actually found myself lamenting that I neede

Recent versions of IE have been very noticeably faster on my machines than Chrome. Every time I open IE up to test a site that I've been working on in Chrome, it's amazing how much smoother animations are and how much quicker page

Historically, Microsoft Research has been very disconnected from Microsoft corporate and don't position/frame their work in terms of a profit motive. Their work sometimes influences or filters its way into Microsoft products, but

I don't know where they're getting those numbers, but nearly 20% search share is nothing to sneeze at if it's true.

Unless I misunderstood, the new DTU measure is being used to gauge relative performance between the different tiers, not for usage (or billing that usage).

Unless I'm mistaken, water poisoning is only a credible threat when you consume exclusively those high volumes of water and nothing else to raise the salinity of the water in and around your cells. Over the course of a day, most of us

If buying MSDN works out to be cheaper than the Partner program, why not buy MSDN licenses instead?

My product keys have come from MSDN.

You can install Visual Studio 2013 with a product key instead if you prefer (that's how I have it installed on my machines currently).

Same here. I run graphical software like Office and Photoshop on my 3200x1800 ATIV Book 9 Plus and haven't noticed any performance issues.

I can't share the specific examples, unfortunately. That's right that if you force a googlebot request from the webmaster tools, it's essentially just how the basic googlebot would wget a page on your site. We know they'

I don't know the specifics, but they already have been for years (at least to some extent). Several of my clients have found content deep inside public-facing client-side apps indexed in situations where we didn't care if it was i

You're right. I meant to say "can't" there (and apparently it's too late for me to edit that comment now).

> 4) The .NET library itself is kinda unwieldy, and only becomes easier to work with if you invest in expensive tools (Visual Studio). In the OSS world, you may have to install a few freely-available tools first, but you get the first-cl

A few years ago, I wrote a little crawler to run through the top 200k sites on Alexa, search for script references, and log them to a database, to get a sense for what the real usage of Google's jQuery CDN was in the wild[0]. IIRC, tha

Isn't it more likely that the page you visited to get the link had a Facebook "like" button on it that tracked your potential interest at that point?

Well, just one data point, but I have a consumer-facing site that sees a few hundred thousand visitors a month with only 6.1% of those coming from Firefox in the last month. On the flip side, Chrome usage dominates among visitors on my deve

I wish I could give this comment a million upvotes. From my perspective as someone who has developed on the MS stack for 15+ years, frameworks like angular and ember strike me as (retroactively) following right in the footsteps of Silverlig

I've been paying for Prime for a couple years (and will continue at $99/year), but I couldn't care less about the video. If there were a shipping-only Prime for $79, I wouldn't think twice about dropping the video.

It works fine with two monitors. There's a "sticky" spot in shared corners that makes opening the sidebars easy: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/05/21/enhancing-wind...

Same here. AngularJS, misused for a content site, strikes again...
