The holographic headgear stole the show, thanks to a number of head-turning demonstrations and the unveiling of the Windows Holographic platform. Just wait until ... a certain industry ... gets their "hands" on it. Boom chicka-wow-wow

There are some things that a hologram cannot replace. Enhance perhaps, but not replace

Microsoft today announced Project Oxford, an evolving portfolio of REST APIs and SDK that will help developers build intelligent apps. "Tommy, can you hear me?"

Real stupidity will beat artificial intelligence every time.
The difficult we do right away...

Microsoft just demonstrated one of the intriguing possibilities that emerge from its single platform/multiple form factors approach for Windows 10: the ability to use your phone as your desktop computer. Really, really, really underpowered desktops
But I love the feature. It's about time.

|

Belfiore pointed out that the feature really shines when apps have been built to scale across form factors, so whether or not this ends up being a feature most would want to take advantage of really depends on developers committing their efforts to Windows 10.
Great, so in addition to writing websites that scale to mobile devices, now we need to write mobile apps that scale to desktop monitors.
I think I'm turning schizo, yes, I think I'm turning schizo...

When you sign up to a service with a telecomms company for your phone and broadband, you have an obligation to pay your bill every month. However, the company also has an obligation: to provide you with that service and react when something seems out of the ordinary. To be fair, AOL is *totally* worth it.

At its Build 2015 developer conference today, Microsoft announced Project Spartan will be called Microsoft Edge. Joe Belfiore, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of the operating systems group, announced the news on stage, and detailed Edge will have support for extensions. Very... edgy
I'll get my coat...

Not thrilling, but a nice conservative name.

Adobe already has a product called Edge[^]
...I would rather they just call it Spartan

Microsoft Edge. Just announced at //build/. The demo video shows some glimpses of some slick features.

Very nice name! As a developer, I know I will be on the edge of my seat, hoping my code works like it does everywhere else....

Using Times New Roman is the typeface equivalent of wearing sweatpants to an interview. I'm guessing not Comic Sans?

Had seen a resume in ALL CAPS.
Not only was it shouting at me, but also took quite an effort to read.

Ugh. Was it an old mainframe user? I find they can't seem to use that caps lock key anymore.

How about letters cut out from a magazine like a ransom note?

Probably get you an interview. Maybe not with the company though.

iOS and Android developers will be able to port their apps and games directly to Windows universal apps, and Microsoft is enabling this with two new software development kits. If you can't beat 'em, convert 'em

The database market has largely been impervious to open source pricing pressure. That may be about to change. "Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?"
