During the two posts, I have went out and purchased 8.1 Pro Pack, while subsequently upgrading my Windows 8 box to Windows 8.1 and further to Windows 8.1 Pro. When Windows 8.2 (Win8.1Update1) comes out next month, I will load it on my secondary system, test it out, and then load it on the primary system. It would be great if I could get my hands on Windows 8.2 to run in a Virtual Lab (VM) but I guess to be expecting too much.
Free your mind and the rest will follow,
Don't be colorblind, don't be so shallow!

CarPlay replicates the iPhone interface on the car’s center stack display, uses the car’s built-in controls, and takes orders from Siri as well. It goes far beyond Siri Eyes Free.
Why not just call it iCar? Seems like some inconsistent branding.

Today Microsoft confirmed the raft of executive changes that leaked yesterday. Senior executives Tony Bates and Tami Reller will exit the company, Mark Penn will move to a more ‘strategic’ role away from advertising, and the company’s ad efforts will be headed by Chris Capossela, who will be the executive vice president of marketing. Eric Rudder will take Bates’ job on an interim basis. Microsoft is all over the place

I'd feel sorry for all the companies and organizations that are telling me that what used to be something important is now just a target for me to elephant with; but the sunshines deserve every bit of breakage I inflict on them for designing systems with the intend of elephanting with my head to make me do something.
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?

The Microsoft Office team has also been working toward a new generation of “app experiences” for a modern generation of devices. In the future, they'll get rid of the app, and replace it with a larger ribbon

The recent security weakness found in both iOS and OS X hints at flaws in coding style guidelines, unit testing, system testing, code review policies, error management strategies, and tools deployment. "GOTO considered harmful"

A good article which tells us about so many different things which can go wrong in programming. Do not stop reading it to early, it far more than that "goto"!

One reason I always add braces to my if statements and all other control statements. Not sure that would have stopped this error though. Treating warnings as errors probably would have, since I'm "sure" the compiler warned about the unreachable code.

From the article itself;
He first notices that the file containing the bug "is not routinely formatted automatically: There are plenty of inconsistent spaces, tabs, and code in comments," No amount of rule-of-thumbs or best-practices that can save one if the code is unreadable.
Langley writes in his blog that he thinks that code reviews could be effective to prevent such kind of issues. Code reviews are a lousy way of providing training.

Like I said, use the compile flag to report warnings as errors. That would have caught the bug. It's certainly not a panacea, nothing is, but it's a good tool to use.
Code Reviews are good for what they're intended, and had this code been competently reviewed the issue would have been found. That's the problem with CR's: competence.

They sort of spoilt the whole thing by saying "well, if it all goes horribly wrong, we can always just drill the safes to get the keys".
