Microsoft is looking to entice more Win32 and .NET developers to bring their apps to the Windows 10 Store via its Desktop Converter, aka its 'Centennial' bridge. Got any old apps lying around that you want to sell?
I'd say, "VB6 apps", but frickin' Hanselman beat me to it.

While Windows phones will probably keep bleeding market share in the coming months, Microsoft remains committed to keep Windows 10 Mobile alive and so far the mobile OS is still being updated at a regular pace. And by "dedicated", they mean, "flailing for the last two decades"

If nobody uses an update, did it really happen?

When Adblock Plus unveiled its own ad network in a bid to make money from toned-down ads, it raised more than a few eyebrows... including those of its supposed ad partners. While the company said that its Acceptable Ads Platform would supply ads from Google and AppNexus, it turns out that it was merely relying on a go-between company (ComboTag) to get those ads. It hadn't asked the underlying ad providers about a deal -- and now, they want out. Both Google and AppNexus are ending their associations with ComboTag, leaving Adblock Plus without much of a leg to stand on.

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?

Epic link fail.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The release of Java 9 could be delayed to July 2017, according to Mark Reinhold, the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. Although there has been significant progress on Project Jigsaw, “at this point it’s clear that it needs more time.” They've found the edge pieces, but some of the middle ones might be under the couch

"Earlier this year, the App Association calculated that there were 223,000 unfilled coding jobs in the US."
I suspect the vast majority of these openings exist only in hiring managers minds.

Swift 3 is a huge release containing major improvements and refinements to the core language and Standard Library, major additions to the Linux port of Swift, and the first official release of the Swift Package Manager. Now even better a choice over Objective-C?
|
|

|
|
Anything is better then Objective-C. Even COBOL. Period.
|
|
|
|

Never heard of a programming language called "Period". Is that like Objective-C?

New study shows imbibers measure intoxication relative to other drinkers. Which kind of explains some of the posts on Friday and Saturday nights

How in the world does a sceintist get money to justify that study.
"Sir/ Madam
My proposed paper is to study drunks down at the pub every night, hic , The only cost to this study will be booze money and maybe some snack money. I predict this study will be conducted over the follow 10 year period hic."
"Good idea. Approved"

Not sure, but when I worked for Boeing back in the 90's, in the Life Sciences Testing Center, a colleague and I found the "Cow Flatulence in Relation to Global Warming" study. Reading it was funny enough, but when we read the name of the environmental scientist, we thought that it had to be a joke. The name on the paper was Dr. Colon Leaky.

Yeah, we didn't even need science for this one. Probably just some empirical evidence.
