It would explain all the bugs that keep showing up in flash...
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?

Psst... They updated that article. It was a prank. An amusing one, too.

/sigh OK, I fell for one. I did think it was far too suspicious, but that particular article 'assured' us it wasn't.

It's a shame it was a prank. Would've made a lot of sense and in turning it into an April Fool's joke, they've ostensibly closed the door on a migration of this nature ever happening.

I expect it's actually back-peddling; that it wasn't a prank. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Me too. I have never before seen anyone start out an April Fools' prank by specifically saying it is not a prank. In my book, you just cannot do that. On April 1st, my mode is already cranked above 'Suspicious' when I watch the news or reads posts on the Internet, but I let my guard down if someone assures me they are announcing something that is not a prank.

In a week Windows XP will reach its end of life. Microsoft has done its best to tell people they need to switch operating systems or face the consequences, but if the latest desktop OS share trend from NetMarketShare is anything to go by, Windows XP users really don’t seem too worried. Well, what else would they upgrade to?
Yes, yes, huggy-huggy for Win8. I really don't mind it.

Win 8 really is a better choice. Win 8.1 even better. Many XP machines are not Win 7 capable but they are Win 8 capable.

There's a shock - people who have resisted moving to Win7 for so long now being resistant to further change.

That’s right, Clippy is coming to ReSharper. And this isn’t just an announcement – you can download and install him right now, from the Extension Gallery (in Visual Studio, select ReSharper –> Extension Manager –> Online, search for “clippy”).
He's back, from outer space. He just walked in to find you here with that same look upon your face.

Prime numbers are endlessly fascinating to computing and math fans, and there's an infinite supply of them. A Microsoft contest succeeds in fleshing out the list of primes that aren't actually the largest. 7: there, send me my money!

I don't find prime numbers fascinating, but I really like working with Sieves to find more of them.

How high do you have to count before they give you one of the Surface RT tablets sitting in the warehouse?

Higher than 29, but I'll keep emailing them in. It can't be too high, they've got a few to spare.

In a breakthrough seven years in the making, an international team of scientists have reconstructed a synthetic and fully functional yeast chromosome. It's a remarkable advance that could eventually lead to custom-built organisms — humans included. "They all told me I was mad! Mad! But I'll show them! I'll show them all!"

The system is neither new, nor sketchy. It’s been in place for years, and it’s about as unsketchy as an anti-copyright infringement system can get. It allows Dropbox to block pre-selected files from being shared from person-to-person (thus keeping Dropbox from getting raided by the Feds), without their anti-infringement system having any idea what most of your files actually are. Not the place to store your hash
