Yes, because before there were emojis and computers, people never doodled or drew smiles in their snail mail. What's a picture worth, again?
Doodling is the oldest form of written communication, for ****'s sake. Go visit the pyramids.
The entire Chinese language (of which the Japanese use a cheap knock-off) is made up of doodles. How is an emoji any different to every other word in their languages?

Google Contributor, the service that let you pay fractions of pennies to remove Google-served ads from websites, is being shut down in mid-January 2017. When you have to Google the service they're shutting down, I guess there's a reason

Google has ads? I learned something new.

People have always questioned whether money can buy happiness. But does the rise or fall of your paycheck change the workplace factors that are most important to you? I'm willing to experiment on this
In one direction, anyway

The joy from a raise lasts about one paycheck, but job satisfaction rules thereafter; until the next raise, of course.

Except when you go years without a well deserved pay raise, yet the company is booking profits left and right.

However, as today’s trends quickly bleed into tomorrow’s standards for development, it’s paramount that software architects become change agents within their organizations by putting into practice the “unspoken” side of their skill set: communication and people skills. It's how to lie with a whiteboard, isn't it?

That's a lot of money for a technology that's been "the next big thing" for at least the last 20 years. And just serves to make people nauseous.

"Zuckerberg told the court he was unaware of whether Oculus founder Palmer Luckey signed an nondisclosure agreement with ZeniMax, nor did he know of one of Oculus' co-founders Nate Miller getting information from ZeniMax."
Seems Zuckerberg may have some explaining to do to stockholders. (And we know Zuckerberg stole Facebook from Lyle.)

A fired IT employee took his revenge on a for-profit online college before he left, changing a password on an account that stored email and course material for 2,000 students, the Indianapolis-based online school has alleged in a lawsuit. I bet that's not going on his resume

You'd think one of the students would have already cracked it.

Sensing a possible stall in your coding career? Here’s how to break free and tap your true potential. You mean I should stop coding in QBasic?

Hey, QBasic is cool
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I've spent years developing dead ends! It's a very carefully nurtured skill.
