British programmer posts daily screenshots of code shown in background of movies and TV shows and explains how accurate it is.
Apparently Tony Stark's original suit in "Iron Man" was running the source code of a 1998 programmable Lego brick. You can't (or I guess you can) make this stuff up.

Registration for Microsoft's Build 2014 conference opens today. What's the pulse of Microsoft's developer community, going into the show? Silverlight. That's all I'm going to say. Silverlight.

I can't help thinking that it's going to be too little too late. Muglia announced the rot and Sinofsky compounded it.

As far as I'm concerned, W7 is the last OS from Microsoft that I will be using for a very, very long time.
And VS2008 will be the last IDE, except when I actually need something that only VS2012 with its  UI provides. And in either case, I'm already looking into SharpDevelop to see if they support the latest F# features - everything else that I need out of an IDE appears to be there already.
So, if Microsoft wants to re-build my developer trust...

Although I'm no fan of Metro, I have adopted Windows 8 - with a Start Menu replacement. I actually find it otherwise a better O/S.
Similarly later versions of Visual Studio - improvements to the .NET runtime and debugging (let alone C++ support) mean I would find it hard going back.
I hope you find the transition to a later version of Visual Studio less painful than you anticipate - you may just be pleasantly surprised.

Today, you need to teach yourself how to use GitHub. Tomorrow, GitHub might be doing the educating. Version Control for Dummies?

That would be a great idea, since GitHub and TFS are Dummies themselve, today.

Android dominates market share but not yet developer wallets. This may be about to change. "On average, developers target 2.9 different platforms for mobile development." Wheee

"Now you can leverage the power of speech-to-speech translations from any Windows device", Microsoft says. "Simply speak into your device by using the microphone feature to place orders or ask for directions and hear the translated words in a native speaker's accent".

Oh dear... There are so many sources for failures.
How good is Microsoft's speech recognition currently?
What about languages which are a little more complicated for speech recognition, e.g. German, or can be hardly mastered, e.g. Hungarian?
Does translation still involve translation to English as a step in the translation process from e.g. German to Dutch?
And what about languages with quite different structures - e.g. translating between Thai and a European language (for a good translation, you have to understand the meaning of the sentence, and reproduce that meaning in the other language, rather than sticking to the individual words)?
On the other hand, we got used to funny texts of instruction manuals ...

AMD says Kaveri has 2.4 billion transistors, or basic building blocks of electronics, and 47 percent of them are aimed at better, high-end graphics.
Looks like a fight to the death between Intel's Edison and AMD's Kaveri for processor supremacy.

Does this technology mean that a PC using it won't need a graphics card?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Company to focus on 'showstopper' bugs between now and then in JDK 8, and wait to fix lesser bugs later. "Chocolate acceptable limits (AOAC 965.38): Average is 60 or fewer insect fragments per 100 grams"

I would hope so too, but that's the way they worded it on the FDA site. I'll more properly grammaticify it.
