COBOL has been our core business for nearly 40 years and bridging the gap between older and new technologies remains our primary mission. If you’re ready to derive more business value from your business applications, take a look at our COBOL to Mobile solutions. For when your code base is larger than the device it runs on
I can't believe I missed this back in August. Apologies to anyone who's projects I delayed.

A survey of API developers claims security, customer satisfaction, and speed of deployment are among the biggest challenges. string someCall(string) - Done!
Oh sure, some will say, "what kind of string?", or, "ANSI or Unicode?". fussypants!

Agile has been around for more than a decade now. It has proven itself at the team level and has scaled to the enterprise, but where does the methodology go from here in today’s modern software development world? "Try to find a better place, but soon it's all the same"

Well, in youth one is agile and athletic. In old age, one is arthritic and hobbled. Did agile ever actually have a youth? Infancy, yes, but like old age, both exhibit a kind of senility, and that's probably the best description of agile that I've ever encountered.

Google outlines its wish list for hard disk drives that don't exist today but which would be better suited to its needs in the cloud. "Third gear, hang on tight"
"YouTube users are uploading one petabyte of new storage every day and at current growth rates that they should be uploading 10 petabytes per day by 2021." Yow.

That's nice, but we won't be here in 5 years (if you believe one of the many doomsday theorists).

To a certain degree they are right. There is no reason to be stuck with a limited number of platters because want to stay within the current size. It will probably change the way that enclosures are designed, but more for server machines than personal machines. Already looking at computers that do not even have the space for a disk drive since expect users to use one of the compact SSD formats, or even on board. Laptops are getting thinner, which means less height for drives, desktops can now be driven by a computer the size of a cigarette case.

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?

In the past, yes. But that's not the way they operate these days. In mobile, for example, they are now being criticised for delivering better products (or in some cases only products) for Android and iOS, rather than Windows Phone/Mobile. The cloud is becoming increasingly big and important to them and they need to interact with all potential consumers regardless of platform. It's economic realities.

Whilst not quite inevitable, this was always on the cards. That said, this is a smart move for both companies. Xamarin get closer integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, and Microsoft take a major step into cross platform development. A win-win outcome.

The social network has just announced a brand new feature called Reactions (which we've already heard about a few times), which is essentially an extension of the Like button. 
Or as my Great Leader says, "News flash: Facebook introduces emoticons!!1!"
