With all due respect to Susan Fowler and her courage, I think this would be an insult to investigative journalism.

They're definitely going in the direction of the walled garden strategy, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. For the vast majority of users, computers are safer with walled gardens. For the more advanced users, developers can al

At the risk of stating the obvious, I believe engineers are first and foremost biased by the incentives put in place by their organizations. These incentives are often non-financial, and it's precisely why culture matters.

To be fair, Reuters is not really known for articles. This is not unusual for news agencies, as opposed to newspapers or magazines.

Haven't tested the product yet, but here are two things I can tell you before I do: - Love the name, I find it clever (location, locution, pocus) and easy to remember - Website is a 4/10: look is not very appealing, does a poor jo

Totally agree. I think the real issue is that education is not catching up.

That's exactly the point. People fail when they look at what exists today. Technology opens opportunities people did not imagine before.

I'm sorry, but the horses example is really terrible. Technological disruption is not new. It's been around forever. If your theory stands true, then how come that overall, the global economy is growing? Doesn't it mean that

I don't think someone can argue that technology does not destroy jobs in the short term. There's a reason why Joseph Schumpeter called it Creative Destructions. It's hard to accept because the people hit are not necessarily t

Adding proprietary modules to existing standards is VERY different from willingly breaking a closed format they created in the first place.

Point is, Morocco signed a treaty with an entity that it recognized as an independent state back when everyone else considered it as a British colony.

So basically, OSS wins because that's what developers want? I don't think so. Developers want to make a living, and for that, they need a user base. Developers were more than happy to build for MS when it had all the users. Bill

How do you like it so far?

Quite frankly - speed. Mailbox on the mobile is just blazing fast.

Development has been very slow on the mobile front as well. When was the latest major feature addition?

El Captain has been out for more than a week now, and the search bar is just not working. Can you imagine an email client without search? They also broke integration with OSX. You can't set the app as your default client, so when you c

I wonder how unifying all devices around Windows 10 relates to this number. After all, it makes sense to reduce the workforce when you only have one core, one API and one set of bundled universal apps to maintain and develop. Though I doubt

I don't see demos. I only see samples. And I think it does exactly what you're asking for. It lets you run Windows software on a Pi. If you were thinking full scale Windows application, then Windows IoT Core is not what you'r

It's a good thing that all headers are now compressed and many are only sent once. So I'm not sure more headers is what could hurt. I'm curious as to how javascript engines perform with one hundred files multiplexed VS one gi

Both your points are valid if the comparaison is strictly based on performance gains. The problem is they imply that optimizing is free and easy.

Good point, but domain sharding is just a clever optimization (hack) to emulate some of the parallelism provided by HTTP/2 out of the box.
