If you've upgraded to iOS 9, you should be aware that it comes with a new feature – enabled by default – that could make your next wireless bill a lot bigger. It's a feature!

Every time I install an iOS update, it turns on the Bluetooth. One good thing, about 9.0...it finally connects to my cheapy Rosewill router!

I'm sure my ancient Android 4.2 also has that feature. I find it invaluable - my normal data connection is mobile (HSDPA) anyway, so the phone using wifi when it can is only a saving for me.

'Citizen developers' are building or tweaking their own productivity apps, and a large segment are also getting involved in run-the-business app development. Think of it as a "make work" project

A bit like when "users" created spreadsheets for everything and thought they were developers?

Exactly. But now it's, "I can make a JavaScript alert box pop up"

Hey! it's what keeps us in business.
Them: How much to fix this app I created?
Us: (sniggering) How much have you got???

Yep, instead of hiring a professional, use duct tape to fix it.

Although he leads a company that has been in heavy competition with Google and its Android OS for years now, Cook was surprisingly positive on Apple’s relationship with one of its former nemeses, Microsoft — especially when it comes to selling to business users. "All you need is love, love"

The reason for this change is that Microsoft says it wants to “encouraging more user generated-content and open up the Project Spark experience”. Is this in preparation for cancelling it Oct 6th?

At this year's Nexus event, the company revealed that this figure has now topped 1.4 billion actives over the last 30 days. Apparently these are the droids people are looking for

But I use multiple Android devices; did they count me more than once?

Based on the math used by tech writers, I'd bet yes.

If you’re having trouble finding them, ask yourself: Am I a bad client, or am I looking in the wrong place? You can usually find them cleaning up after the rest of us
Or alternately: here?

The title of the article should had probably been software developers or application developers, instead of web developers. Web developers used to be regarded as web designers with some scripting and Photoshop skills, where an application developer can develop 3 tiered applications no matter the front-end.
I actually got started as a "web developer" about 15 years ago, specializing in HTML and CSS, with some JavaScript, and ASP 3.0. After too many short projects, I moved into application development and been there and gainfully employed since.
Yes, it is better to pay for top talent or even good developers, instead of having a bunch of mediocre performers. I myself do much more than my 3 team members combined, yet there isn't much difference in our salaries. They're lucky it isn't my business!

As you’ve read, the new Office is here and for developers, this is an exciting time! The ability to insert add-ins into your documents, call new Office.js APIS, launch task panes inside your Office clients and run commands directly from the ribbon increases the productivity of your entire team! Programmatic access to the ribbon! W00t!

Is Office.js a replacement for VBA, or a completely independent cluster-elephant (like VSTO[^]).

Doesn't seem to be "here" in the UK yet. Our Office365 is still claiming that Office 2013 is the latest version.

Despite a mix of solutions from SharePoint to Office 365 Groups, Microsoft's approach to collaboration is stuck in the past -- it doesn't have to be that way Email deemed archaic?

Both the UK[^] and US are currently experiencing unexplained growth in their productivity gap. I'd bet an analysis would show a positive correlation between email use and meetings and a nation's productivity gap.

Claiming that sacking person guilty of creating blotus notes as the reason why MS is failing kinda kills the credibility of the rest of what the author is saying. (Below the baseline level of implicit drek from it being published on infoworthless anyway.)
