In the UK one of our larger train companies is still using pre-hated handheld card terminals they bought from British Airways over 20 years ago on their buffet counters. Fun fact: They apparently aren't connected to anything, and trans

We do, it's the IE9 situation! I was looking at our browser metrics the other day and it's yet to drop below the arbitrary 5% usage figure we use to fully deprecate browser support. We are a public facing site, and not particularl

Here in Britain we use them to prevent people jumping queues at the post office. The parallel development of these globally does suggest we will be seeing a lot more drone-based policing in the future, and will be gleefully cracking open th

I guess they will start using promo fb messages to bait opt-in. "Reply with the code PROMO10 for an exclusive 10% discount" and all that sort of nonsense.

At risk of sounding overly cynical, Java-orientated article from the editor of Java Magazine implies JavaScript's popularity will wane, making 2nd placed Java it's heir apparent? Seems a slightly predictable suggestion, given the
