1. The values they present are totally fit the market share... Twice the number of Win 7 machines, twice the number of threats
2. The first time in a history Microsoft suggest to install a virus to get rid of an other...

A new leak spotted by petri.com, coming from a cached Microsoft blog post, however, suggests that Visual Studio may soon be coming to the Mac. In case you needed justification for buying a new MacBook Pro
Assuming people needed justification, @chris-maunder.
Besides, they're so shiiiiiiiny!

Did you know that people are actually happier with less choices?
The Paradox of Choice - Wikipedia[^]
You know this to be true from the App Store (or Google Play).
Here's how it works.
1. You are going to buy an app and there are 62 different choices.
2. You choose one
3. You try it and it fails to satisfy you on at least one point.
4. You figure there must be better app out there that is perfect, but you chose the wrong one.
5. You figure, "wow, I must be stupid, because I chose the wrong app".
6. You are less happy.
Back in the day, there were no choices.
1. Eat your peas.
2. But I don't like peas.
3. Okay, you can starve then.
4. You eat the peas.
5. You are not dead
6. You're mostly happy and at least you don't _feel_ stupid.
So pbhbhbhbhbtttttt!!!! on your Visual Studio on macOS.
I got XCode and I'm happy with it because it's all I got.
Now, get outta here, Microsoft. Don't foul up the macOS neighborhood like you have Windows.

It's actually not anything new. They've just rebranded Xamarin Studio, which has been available for Mac for some time now.
|
|
|
|
|
That's interesting.
Xamarin. It _should_ work.
It seems like you learn a lot of overhead and you get stuck in Xamarin tunnel using it.
It's supposed to be easier for multi-OS deployment, but I"m still not sure.

Third-party applications that allow single sign-on via Facebook and Google and support the OAuth 2.0 protocol, are exposed to account hijacking. Good thing people switched away from securing their own passwords

Terribly insecure. Well, unless you are using some strong encryption like Rot-13 or if you're especially tricky, Rot-7.

I once tried to logon to a site and the ONLY way to logon and download a program I wanted was to use Facebook and "like" them, then you would get the download.
I laughed in their face(book). Nothing is worth having to create an account on FB for.

The Dial almost seems like it came right out of a science fiction novel, letting us interact with our Surface devices in countless ways with just a few simple gestures. Because just pressing the appropriate function keys is so caveman-like?

Physicists avoid highly mathematical work despite being trained in advanced mathematics, new research suggests. Seasons don't fear the number, we can be like they are
Or something like that.
|
|
|
|

I can so relate to this. Mathematics is important in programming to but if I can't void it or work around it I'll do that instead.
I do love math and wish I had the patience to actually delve in to it because I have a great love of physics which I wish I'd indulge more.
Math can be difficult and ugly but when you don't understand it it can also be beautiful but damn if it isn't time consuming and requites lot of consciousness effort to grasp.

In a study published Thursday in Science, Ishiyama and his adviser, Michael Brecht, not only found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies, but also that these signs of joy changed according to the rodents' moods. So... how did you spend those research grants?

Russian antivirus vendor Kaspersky Lab has asked antitrust regulators in various countries (including the European Union and Russia) to make Microsoft stop giving an unfair advantage to Windows Defender. Whatever happened to just winning by being a better product?
Like PC Tools, DESQview, and OS/2? (oh, and VAX)
