I saw the title and was about to jot off something about Java malware coming along with the Ask toolbar, then I saw the following line.

 I can't imagine why. It seems like a pretty common feeling about that language (as well as Flash) these days.

I'm sure everyone else has seen this already, but there is a new release for ASP.NET and the Web tools[^]. Nothing earth-shattering (or even Russia-shattering), but it looks like a nice collection of new templates (for SignalR, Facebook  , Knockout and more).

The new support for CoffeeScript, LESS, and JavaScript template libraries is quite impressive. The LESS editing and support is top notch, I haven't seen anything that compares in speed and features.

Some engineers have never dated a real person.
They've tried to, but it's hard for them to appreciate that real people don't necessarily use data to make decisions -- especially when it comes to love.
Never dated a real person ?!

The moment when you realise your partner of many years is in fact an android.

No, it's not. One gets used to the irrational thing called a "user" and "manager" very quickly, and no, I do not mind them taking important decisions based on horoscopes. I mind cleaning up the mess after the decision.
So, you go dating and stop making decisions.

Why doesn't the link go to a relevant article and what does the title of this thread have to do with any of this?

That's just the journalist's way of being overdramatic; what they really meant to say was that the Google stores look unappealing (which is normal for their inexperienced first attempt at creating store layouts).
The author probably spent all night thinking up the best way to call the store "nerdy-looking".

I know there’s this unwritten law that newer software requires more resources but my experience with Windows 8 has always been that’s it’s way faster certainly than Windows 7 was on the same hardware, but it’s my recollection that XP was never really as snappy as 8 is now on any hardware. So I dug up the oldest, crustiest hardware I could get my hands on and did some tests... No one's forcing you to upgrade. But the results are clear: it may be a good idea.

Yup.
I had the consumer preview of 8 running on a celeron laptop.
It was very fast on that box.
I has Vi-Start on it booting straight to the desktop for sanity's sake however.
If MS had not forced metro on us it would have been a home run as it is, many unsuspecting consumers are coming back to the stores where they bought the fancy new windows 8 machine wanting it off the box to no avail. - This comes from people who work at the local retail outlet here in town that have sold some of the windows 8 pcs.
I don't know what is in the Koolaid up there but MS better give us back our windows 7 desktop with the speed of 8 or their going to be run over by those whom they fear that caused the metro to eek into the pc in the first place.
Apple smart enough to run two os's - one for the hand helds and one for the PCs\

I personally don't feel Metro is standing in my way... it's just a different "Start Menu".
After that is just a minimalistic UI that I actually prefer over transparencies and smoke.
I'm currently working on both Windows 7 and 8 and I don't feel uncomfortable switching between them.
Cheers!

But you can get the old start menu "back" (well, something sufficiently like it) and boot directly into the desktop instead of metro. You can still accidentally get stuck in metro sometimes, but for the most part your OS will make sense again.

When you put open source software out there in the wild there is a mutual understanding that, you are going to see my source code, and probably take some influence from it into your own source code. Maybe sometimes you even take a little more than influence, and copy some lines of code. As an open source developer, we all know this is happening and we all know this is alright, encouraged, and to be expected. When it gets to the point of out right copying of whole files it becomes a different story all together. You do the work. He gets the credit (and bug fixes)? That's not right.

Not that bad. I often see examples (even of Open Source code) on the web from which I can assume which classes I can use to solve a problem the best way.

Lazy a** devs do this.

Not alright for everyone... Encouraged? Is a woman wearing a bikini encouraging men to grope her? IMO -> No!
To be expected? Sadly yes...

Which is called copyright infringement.

Linden Lab is best known for putting together the old social MMO Second Life, but more recently the company has been getting involved in tablet development.... Today, Linden has released another app, and like Creatorverse and Second Life, this app is more of an engine than a game -- it's an interactive fiction platform essentially, designed to upgrade the idea of traditional text adventure games into something more replayable and dynamic. You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building....

At the Mozilla mission level, monoculture remains a problem that we must fight. The web needs multiple implementations of its evolving standards to keep them interoperable.... I expect more web engines in the next ten years, not fewer, given hardware trends and the power wall problem. In this light, Mozilla is investing not only in Gecko now, we are also researching Servo, which focuses on the high-degree parallel (both multicore CPU, and the massively parallel GPU) hardware architectures that are coming fast. Competing engines. Competing ideas. Competing futures. One DOM.
