Darn google, illegally creating software that people might actually want to use vs creating a bare bones operating system and letting every Tom, Dick and Harry write irrelevant software...which they already do. Its called the google store.

Google and Microsoft get sued and fined while there's really only one company who refuses to work with standards or allow their consumers to work with anything that's not strictly approved by themselves.
Yeah, you know who I'm talking about.
I guess it's ok for them because they only have the second biggest smartphone market share in the world and the biggest for tablets 
As if creating iTunes isn't reason enough to sue them they're also forcing their poor users to use it

 And I'm sure that company has absolutely nothing to do with this decision. 
I hope the EU commission members enjoy their new iPhones.

If you're familiar with C#, then you most likely heard that you should always override Equals and GetHashCode for custom structs for performance reasons. Because one of your hashes should not equal the others

How many teams should we have? Should we create a new team for this initiative or ask an existing team to take it on? What is the boundary between these two teams? Frequently XL or larger (at least 'round these parts)

New research found that being in a bad mood can help some people’s executive functioning, such as their ability to focus attention, manage time and prioritize tasks. The same study found that a good mood has a negative effect on it in some cases. I guess this means I should look at my To-do list? Hmph.

Another waste of time?
I mean... it is kind of logic, isn't it?
if I am angry or something like that I signalize it out and I don't get disturbed by anyone. And I focus more to distract me from the cause of my anger. Which automatically increases my productivity.
If I am in a good mood, then the probability to chat and make jokes with co-workers is much, much higher, which automatically reduces productivity (but increases team bounds).
The biggest problem is when the situation are so, that you don't have any mood to work. That's the worst.

Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Virginia are now able to create “tiny, thin-film electronic circuits peelable from a surface,” the first step in creating an unobtrusive Internet-of-Things solution. Are they also "Scratch & Sniff"?

I read that as 'Peeable' circuits at first and was confused.

Right now, the government can read your six-month-old emails without a warrant. That's OK. Six months ago I wasn't doing anything criminal. They can't read the ones from seven months ago, though. Right?

We’re excited to report that the Visual Studio IntelliCode Extension has been updated to enable coding convention inference for C#, to help you and your team achieve more readable and consistent code. And what if I like "half-spaces, half-tabs"?

I honestly don't know why anyone wasted their time on creating tools to minify javascript, when you can just write your code like that from the get go. Creates job security.

If you could make a tool that can do tabs for block indenting, spaces for within the block and get it running in all major editors I'd call you a hero.
More seriously though, I suspect the union of teams who think automagically figuring out coding style rules is a good idea and teams whose code is consistent enough to get a good rule set by doing so is an empty set.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Quote: While the individual magnetic bits in a D-wave system are largely in a single plane, it's possible to control the connections among them so that the system accurately simulates the behavior of a three-dimensional lattice. On the current generation of systems, the largest lattice that will fit in the processor is one that's a cube with eight magnets on a side.
Getting an answer is not exactly groundbreaking work. "An 8 x 8 x 8 lattice is state of the art for 1990 computer models," said Richard Harris, a D-Wave scientist who was lead author on the research paper. But for the company, the work represents significant progress. "It's the first time the respectable competition has to be a multicore server, as opposed to something like a pencil," Harris told Ars.
When their flippin' magnets flip a burger, give me a call.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12
