Obviously toothpaste is. The security personnel of Hong Kong confiscated a medium sized tube of Colgate from my laptop bag last Sunday. And I was only passing through Hong Kong.

Visual Studio 2015 is the last release of Visual Studio that includes the LightSwitch tooling and we recommend users not begin new application development with LightSwitch. And the switch turns off

I frequently hear such apparently-innocuous-but-actually-complex questions about code quality. “This idiot on my team is writing mountains of the most unmaintainable garbage imaginable — what should I do?” Sauce 'em
Or get sauced, I can never remember the etiquette for that scenario.

If you’re keeping track, that’s now... pretty much everyone who’s said they’re not interested in buying Twitter. #HaHa

I not find humour. We buy for 25 billion after I buy shares. We leverage Linkedin and Twitter, with the greatest planet search engine.@satyanadella

Scientists from the University of Maryland tried an experiment suggested by Frank Wilczek and actually made a time crystal that works. "If I could save time in a bottle..."

Woah... 
I hope this is verified! It is so cool!

Twitter will not host its annual Flight developer conference this year amid speculation and uncertainty about the company's future. Its bruised relationship with developers may be a sign of what's to come.
Is Twitter's dead developer conference another nail in its coffin? | CIO[^]
I like twitter, but it's all about who you follow. I follow technologists and devs.

Twitter is what it is. Where else is there for it to go?
Add the ribbon, maybe? The baby-blocks interface?
It's a small idea, and it should stay small, because people won't like it as much if it tries to be what it's not.

In August, Microsoft announced that it was going to change the patching model used by Windows 7 and 8.1—as well as Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2—to something close to that of Windows 10. Microsoft's revenge?

And so Markie is changing his windows update model for weven and w8 to match his update model for winio.
I.e. completely blocked. You don't need the windows update service to get security updates.

This week marks my final week of working on Android. I’ve had my ups and downs with it, but I’m excited to retire from Google’s mobile platform. And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home

And what will you do then?

I wrote my app on Android, as a WinForm app (C#) then as a UWA (Universal Windows App -- XAML / C#) and now I'm writing it in XCode ala Swift.
I've been a dev on Windows (C++, MFC, VB5.x, 6.x, C#) for over 20 years and the easiest one to get going was obviously the WinForm one and then after that the Android Java app. The tie for most annoying and difficult is UWA and iOS. Although probably the worst really is the iOS app. Ugh! XCode and Swift I'm just not sure about them.
The scene (UIViews) setup is terrible in XCode. I much prefer Android Studio for that.
Actually, the reasons he cites in his rant/article could basically be given for iOS dev also -- just change the names of things he rants about.
Dev Environments & Libraries
All dev environments and APIs are inherently flawed. Many are just more flawed than others.

Apple has been working on some nifty upgrades to its MacBook line, and not just underneath the hood. The biggest feature upgrade could actually be in the keyboard. A new version of Magic Keyboard?
