Quote: Sponsored by HP and organized by HP-owned Zero-Day Initiative, Pwn2Own offered $1.085 million worth of prizes, as security researchers went after security features on Adobe Flash and Reader. The browsers tested by hackers included Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox.

The call between the two chiefs won't lead to immediate reform, so Zuckerberg also turns to his Facebook page to amplify the volume of his frustration. This is what happens when you don't have Caller ID

Speed reading has long been a skill peddled by supposed experts, and recently a slew of cheap apps claiming to teach the technique have put it back in the spotlight. So, let's take a look at the claims of speed reading and if it's really possible to read 1,200 words a minute. "I read War and Peace in 20 minutes. It was about Russia."

Millennial developers would be wise to learn the key lesson that UNIX taught us long ago: open-source code is nice, but portability of code is critical. "The future will soon be a thing of the past."

Searching for the right image can be tough. After sorting through hundreds of images, you finally find a picture you like but unfortunately it’s low resolution or an odd dimension leaving you to go back to scrolling through the results pages. To take the hassle out of this process we’re introducing a new feature that allows you to match an image in a few simple clicks. "Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?"

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps in a van down by the river) you may have noticed that Node.js is kind of a big deal. Since its introduction in late 2009, Node has steadily grown in popularity and now occupies prime real estate as a (if not *the*) de facto choice of server-side infrastructure for the modern web stack. "All the cool kids are doing it!"

Amazon is making its streaming application, AppStream, available to all interested developers. AppStream was originally introduced four months ago at the company’s AWS reInvent conference, but at the time was only made available to an initial group of developers. Oh boy!

Google today slashed the prices for its Google Drive product, bringing its base price way below cloud storage competitors Dropbox and Microsoft’s recently renamed OneDrive. Give away the razors, sell the blades

Microsoft originally launched its subscription version of Office back in September 2012, but the company is announcing a new cheaper option for individuals today. "This time, it's personal"
|
|
|
|
|
But I don't understand.
I have office. Granted it doesn't have the moniker 365 anywhere but gee, it writes calculates, gets email and I don't have to give anyone anything yearly.
Boggles the mind why anyone would do this.
Office have been mature since 03 and only messed up serious since then anyway.

Uh, because sooner or later Microsoft will force everyone to do it?

The 2001 agile manifesto was an attempt to replace rigid, process and management heavy, development methodologies with a more human and software-centric approach. They identified that the programmer is the central actor in the creation of software, and that the best software grows and evolves organically in contact with its users. "The lunatics have taken over the asylum"

|
...but - do you not remember how bad it was? I remember a project from the late 90s that went from a 6 month to 18 month delivery cycle. 
Now - Agile didn't deliver Nirvana because (a) it never promised to be cheaper but every CFO thought that it did and (b) it wasn't compatible with massive outsourcing and re-organising that the stuffed shirt layer were doing concurrently.

That's quite a funny article, but you can summarise it in one line:
"Don’t put non-technical managers in charge of software developers."

The JavaScript founder also says the language is approaching its endgame: performance parity with native code. This is my script. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

Brace yourself for an exhaustive rundown of Google's master plan and the company's ultimate goal. "I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Microsoft Founder Bill Gates dropped a few tech tidbits, including that Microsoft 'was willing to buy' WhatsApp. He's also no Edward Snowden fan (no surprise). Getting a little teary eyed here. I missed you, man!

In start-up land, the young barely talk to the old (and vice versa). That makes for a lot of cool apps. But great technology? Not so much. Innovate this.

I'm hoping HBO's upcoming "Silicon Valley" calls them on a lot of this sh*t.
