At least a year or so ago I found a few major sites that still use Silverlight. One of Ballmer's many disastrous decisions was to kill Silverlight. May not work for all people, but fine for quite a few, and great for corporations that can designate the platform to use. Ballmer in is stupidity, listened to the wrong people who were telling him that HTML would solve all the problems of HTML. Of course there were a lot of people then believing this. I really do not understand why since HTML 5 has all the issues of the versions before it, and it was obvious that there would be implementation issues and differences.

The new version, rewritten with Microsoft's TypeScript, offers payload size and performance enhancements Because I know all of you have been impatiently waiting for this

Wait. What? Seriously. It just released!?! We were ramping up to using Angular (1.x) about 3 years ago when Google made the announcement about 2.x and that it would be a complete re-write. That's when we decided it didn't offer a strong benefit over ASP.NET / Razor and we'd be either writing on a dead API (1.x) or waiting around for the new API (2.x).
Plus, if you're already building your back-end via C# Visual Studio then you may as well take the whole stack from MS.
Google had a huge movement going with Angular then just let it slide away.
Here's a good article on the v1 versus v2 issue also:

Had me excited for a minute, until I saw that it's the same ol bloated and obnoxious TypeScript beast that has been around for awhile now.
Directly coupling to a language subset is an unexpectedly huge mistake on Google's part.

Researchers at NC State think that they have developed a new way to harvest body heat and turn it into electricity. "Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see"
They *think* they have developed a new way. TO THE PRESS RELEASE MACHINE!

How appropriate. I'm at my daughter's house. She's pregnant and keeps the temperature in the low 60s. There's no body heat left to harvest.

I looked at an invention at Texas A&M University, called a thermally Activated Capacitor. Basically, it uses a special dielectric between carbon fiber plates tto force charge migration to the plates in the presence of a thermal gradient.It didn't look too practical to me it delivered power on the order of nano watts. But perhaps someone figured a better way to do it. Interesting stuff.

Many businesses don't carry out frequent security testing despite believing that it's critically important to securing their systems and data, according to a new survey. For those who wonder why there are so many hacks lately
|
|
|
|
|
We know.We might be one of those who are vulnerable. 
|
|
|
|
|
But it's so easy...
CEO: Do we have security vulnerabilities?
CTO: Yes.
Done.

I'm surpised it's not 3 or 4 out of five.
