There are some missing ones. It says the first IKEA store in Melbourne opened in 2003 at Richmond. This is incorrect. There was one in Moorabbin which closed its' doors in 2005 and had been open for quite a number of years prior to tha

The ThinkPad 8 looks great (great screen res, micro usb 3.0), just wish it had the Wacom style digitiser of the Surface Pro. I know that the Asus Vivo Tab Note 8 has the Wacom digitiser though but has a much lower res. Also wish that these

As a fellow Ausssie, I'm also sad about this. By the sounds of it, they've given this move a lot of careful consideration. But, rather than just be sad about it... Might be a good opportunity to discuss what can be done to improve

That talks about TFS 2010. TFS has changed and improved a lot since that time. Especially the online version. For starters, you can now use git with TFS 2013 and Visual Studio Online (formerly TFS Online) rather than TFVC. See - http:&#x2F

Well, the whole thing is up on github[1], so if you want, you could always port it from ColdFushion to something else? [1] https://github.com/jakefeasel/sqlfiddle

Well, hopefully their next step is to open up in Australia. There is a demand for it here, and there's even many Australians that buy a US VPN service to buy a Netflix subscription. See - http://www.zdnet.com/au/au

You can also utilise the microSD slot (which sits behind the kickstand[1]). A few of my coworkers who have the Surface Pro brought a 64gb microSD card and store media (music/videos/photos) on the microSD. The speed of the card isn

Another Vista? Hardly. As someone who has used Windows 8, and recently moved back to a PC with Windows 7. I think 8 is actually an improvement. Lots of little UI things that I really like (the copy dialog is much improved). Sure, there are

It'll be free to all existing Windows 8 users at some stage in October (17th I think?). And as I've read elsewhere, will be on MSDN around the same time. I'm curious as to what you mean by "shit like this", as that

Because 8.1 is intended as a (free) update to 8 rtm. So kinda like what they used to call a "service pack".

Glad they finally gave the Dev tools an update in IE11. It's a welcome thing for those that still need to support users running IE.

Just swap out Canada for Australia and you get a similar story. While there are a few smaller tech companies here and there, the only larger home-grown one I can name at the moment is Atlassian (owners of BitBucket, Hip Chat etc). And they

Well, IE10 which shipped with Windows 8 eventually made its' way to Windows 7. And from what I've read, IE11 will also make it to Windows 7. Support for XP is ending on April 8th, 2014 at Microsoft. So there's no chance at al

A little sad to hear. I've been a TechNet subscriber for a number of years now. I probably don't utilise it as much as I could.

For Joe Average Windows user, I think this is a good move. For everyone else, I think we've probably already got our own system for online doc backups etc. I'm sure, like past Microsoft products, we can probably change the behavio

Agreed, it does look like R2D2. It was as if Apple lured R2D2 to the dark side and released as the Mac Pro!

Well, I don't know how many LOC I have, but I'm sure close to or more than that. But we've got 62 projects. I've turned off a few things like code analysis in R# and it runs fairly well.

Actually, according this blog - http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/2013/05/28/a-first-peek-at-ope... "It's called Opera Next 15 and it's based on Chromium 28 — which means that it comes with Blink on board"

I think the App Store does well on ios because it's the only way to load apps onto those devices, but I don't think it works as well on OS X. (I've found that most apps I install on my mbp aren't from the App Store). I suppose, for everyday

Not really a u-turn. More like re-fining. It's like the Windows Vista to 7. Little tweaks here and there. Win 8 has many changes. Some to the UI, some under the hood. Pretty impressed at the boot speed of Win 8 on a PC with an SSD. Took a f
