Just like the Rockefeller Foundation is doing good deeds with the billions ripped off from consumers, Bill Gates is also trying to salvage his reputation by giving to charity... he realizes that St Peter cannot be bribed to let him bring in his billions of dollars.
On the other hand, Satan may be agreeable to a deal. Bill, go for it!

Apple and Roku have a new competitor in the living room: Amazon just announced its own video streaming device: Amazon Fire TV. I find it funny that the TV companies could have been doing this for years and didn't

We’re bringing Windows to a whole new class of small devices. Build a smart coffee mug, build a talking bear, build a robot, or build something else entirely. All this using a platform and tools you already know and love. Honey, I shrunk the computing devices

I've gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with their push to use the fully-featured windows version on smaller and smaller devices. It'd be neat to avoid the notion of a 'mobile OS' altogether.

Apache Allura is an open source implementation of a software forge, a web site that manages source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs, and more for any number of individual projects. Version control, bug tracking, discussion, where else are you going to get something like that? (oh, sorry Chris)

Copycats!

AFAIK, that was started by SourceForge, and then picked up by Apache.

Yahoo is one of the few companies that can compete with Google in the realm of search—theoretically, at least. Now, the company reportedly plans to challenge Google in another area it dominates: user-generated videos. That should solve the internet's cat video shortage

Oh thank heavens - when I got the alert for your reply, it didn't have the strikethrough. I was starting to worry about your viewing habits.

Although posted on April 1, the switch is not an April fool. In fact, the vote was taken on an internal/private mailing list, and the result was something that Greg was not happy with, suggesting that he might have to hang up the VP subversion hat. The Apache foundation is even drafting an official response to the situation. Eat your own dogfood?

Well, Subversion isn't suited to software development so it makes sense to switch to something better.
Do you think Adobe uses Photoshop or Acrobat as a repository for their code? (Don't answer that. )

It would explain all the bugs that keep showing up in flash...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Psst... They updated that article. It was a prank. An amusing one, too.

/sigh OK, I fell for one. I did think it was far too suspicious, but that particular article 'assured' us it wasn't.

It's a shame it was a prank. Would've made a lot of sense and in turning it into an April Fool's joke, they've ostensibly closed the door on a migration of this nature ever happening.

I expect it's actually back-peddling; that it wasn't a prank.

Me too. I have never before seen anyone start out an April Fools' prank by specifically saying it is not a prank. In my book, you just cannot do that. On April 1st, my mode is already cranked above 'Suspicious' when I watch the news or reads posts on the Internet, but I let my guard down if someone assures me they are announcing something that is not a prank.

In a week Windows XP will reach its end of life. Microsoft has done its best to tell people they need to switch operating systems or face the consequences, but if the latest desktop OS share trend from NetMarketShare is anything to go by, Windows XP users really don’t seem too worried. Well, what else would they upgrade to?
Yes, yes, huggy-huggy for Win8. I really don't mind it.

Win 8 really is a better choice. Win 8.1 even better. Many XP machines are not Win 7 capable but they are Win 8 capable.
