Well considering the trolls over at King.com are suing any game with the words "candy" or "saga" in them, at this point I think anyone can do pretty much anything where name-related patents are concerned.

If low speed probing packets are taking up as much as half the available capacity of wifi networks; and their defenders are arguing that they're needed for wifi in embedded devices like smart power meters, why not just significantly reduce the rate the routers check for them by default; especially if it hasn't found any of them recently. If your power meter has to wait until 12:00:10 to connect to your network and report your monthly usage to the billing office instead of doing so at 12:00:00.01 nobody cares. 
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?

Interesting line up, did not expect to see VS2013 on there?

It's actually pretty solid. Their (or one of their) problem is that so is 2012, 2010, and 2008.
I thought it was interesting they picked Premium, rather than Ultimate.

Why should I give any credit to selections made by a company that still thinks full page reloads are an acceptable way to do a slideshow.

Yeah, sorry about that. We usually try to avoid slideshows, but I thought this one might be of interest to a lot of people.

That's what I thought as well. I wouldn't think they'd sell themselves, but I could imagine some sort of licensing deal getting announced soon.

They've been cross licensing with their PerC offerings so I should imagine this is more of the same.

The company is offering an early developer preview of a toolchain based on Apache Cordova, an open-source mobile development framework for building native mobile apps using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Developers can use the tool to wrap their Chrome app with a native application shell that enables them to distribute it via Google Play and Apple’s App Store.

No doubt, our blog is a great site for announcing new books and other quick bits of news; however, we really needed a great landing page to host our free ebooks in an elegant, easy-to-browse way. Our coworkers at the Microsoft Virtual Academy provided the solution. It’s a perfect place to land, since many of you already consume the Jump Start sessions, live events and archived courses from MVA. "Reading maketh a full man"

'Oops,' says analyst about Apple overestimating demand for less-expensive iPhone. Oh, I see what you did there. Clever headline writer: "call", "iPhone".
|
|

What they blew is saying it was a cheaper iPhone and then essentially putting it out for the same price off-plan, and since most international users--the market they were primarily targeting with this "cheap" smartphone--are buying off-plan, it didn't make sense to buy an iPhone 5 in a cheap plastic case instead of a discounted iPhone 5.
Logic, Tim Cook, logic.
