Talking about servers and mobiles, Linux took it already... And now it is more precise to say that Windows loosing the desktop...

According to CNN, IBM researcher Charles Henderson says he sold a car several years ago and can still control it from his phone. "Baby, you can drive my car"

That's why you should only buy a new car...

In olden times, this was known as "keeping the spare key".

I started receiving tips from several sources that said Microsoft was shuffling its roadmap for Hololens which resulted in the second iteration of the device being canceled. "Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three."

This is a follow-up to Kent's original post from Feb 14th:
Microsoft delays February 2017 security updates due to "last minute issue"[^]
The MSRC Team have updated the blog entry, now stating
UPDATE: 2/15/17: We will deliver updates as part of the planned March Update Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
(I know I'm late to the party and the update has been posted a while ago - But I never heard anything after Kent's post so I went and looked)

Colours?
These days, you only get to pick one colour -- and then you're lucky if the OS doesn't override it.

Disney researchers, on the other hand, are working on spaces that power and charge devices just by placing them in the room. Does it feel warm in here?

It’s been 16 years since Agile’s creation, and by all accounts it does seem to have worked better than waterfall methodologies. But it is not a perfect solution. Agile must have succeeded: there are so many articles about it being dead
After all, Windows has been dying for a while now (and Java). And Leslie Nielsen.

Simple Programmer wrote: I recently did a quick audit on LinkedIn. For the search I did in London, of people with the current role of Scrum Master, only three of the 10 people I looked at have a software development background.
Almost every failed project I worked on or took over and completed was because the PM or CSM or whatever they want to call themselves had little or no software development experience. I consider this as one of the largest, if not the largest, expenditures for an IT organization.

I feel I may be repeating myself, but anyway - regarding Agile:
Agile is a team management methodology, not a project management methodology.
If you are using it for the former it works, for the latter it fails.
If you don't know what the difference is between those, you are why it fails.

Which word do you think management see from your sentence? 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

This is a bit of an odd comment:
Quote: one study performed by Cast Software suggests that there is over $1,000,000 of technical debt, or problems with the code quality, in the average code base.
I'm not sure how they can come to that conclusion? What's average - $1 billion... $5,000..? In either case I can't see how you can end up with $1,000,000 of technical debt and in either case, it's not a big issue.
I haven't noticed any improvement with code quality since Agile started to gain ground. In the end, we have to write code - it's going to contain technical debt, performance and security issues as well as bugs, that's just the nature of it. One thing Agile does do well is push up the cost of projects!

As is usual, they mixed up the terms "study" and "dart thrown at a piece of paper with random numbers printed on it".
