We have finally finished fine-tuning the new version of dotPeek, our free .NET decompiler and assembly browser. Please download dotPeek 1.2 that receives a new superpower and learns how to walk in symbol server shoes. Remember Reflector? Yeah. Good times. Remember when they started charging for it? Here's an alternative.

"A phone that works". just 2 screen blockings in 18 months. Apps sucks, but they all suck on all platforms (asking for my liver/wife/bank account/burrowed banelings to post on FB etc).

I have one of these too, mainly to screw around with
It's not offering me the 8.1 update though, anything special I need to do? I'm in the UK on EE

Probably enable developer mode. I don't remember how (a colleague told me how to do it and I forgot it immediately), it should be somewhere in advanced settings.

Microsoft channel partners need to urgently redefine and evolve their businesses so that they can resell the company’s cloud computing products, according to Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner. "There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne."

Call me an old fogey, but mobile yes, 100% cloud no. I mean, I'm happy when there's signal or a wifi I can connect to, but I cannot and do not want to rely on an internet connection to be productive. It's too damn fragile, and I don't believe that it's resilient at all to some gov't (as we've seen) shutting it down whenever it wants to impose it's big stick.
Now, where'd I put my CB radio???

I don't think the NSA insisting they have the right to access MS's cloud data anywhere in the world really helps their business proposition. Especially in Europe, where you may well be violating data protection law by using American cloud services in light of this insane decision.
A good European cloud provider would have an enormous advantage now. Here's hoping someone steps into the void.
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

The pressure put us - as Microsoft partners - 'between a rock and a hard place'. Microsoft wants us to integrate cloud based services into our application, but customers do not want to hear about their data on the cloud. No way!!!
So, at some point Microsoft will remove partner status, some customers will go, life will be happy...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

They won't be happy if you just put a picture of a cloud on the ribbon, with the word 'Data' on it??? Perhaps when clicked, it opens this [^] video?

There are several reasons why I'm not going to do this. My top four are:
1. The monthly costs are unpredictable. I just need one client "going rogue" with bandwidth and I get clobbered for a huge bill - this is not a cost I can pass on to a client.
2. The lack of security safeguards around oversight. As a European customer, I really don't see why the US Govt thinks it has the right to my clients data. Again, this is not something I could sell to my clients.
3. I don't need Microsoft infrastructure. If I'm going cloud based, I can do this entirely on *nix platforms using Node.js and related tooling.
4. Why should I work hard to market something for Microsoft? They have spent the last several years actively doing developers down.
I'm sorry Microsoft, but you have a huge uphill battle to convince me to place my trust in you now. I used to be one of your most vocal advocates. Not anymore.

Microsoft is developing a new approach to splatting bugs in software before they take down production systems. It involves wiring up programmers to sensors that record brain activity, track eye movement, and test how sweaty the engineers are. "I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over."

If I used this, the one breaking the build would be me, as I am the only one working on my projects (I am a self-taught hobbyist programmer), and I don't want a shock when the build breaks.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Apple and IBM have just announced what the companies describe as a "landmark partnership" designed to "redefine the way work will get done, address key industry mobility challenges and spark true mobile-led business change." Put more simply, they're aiming to combine their respective strengths and aggressively tackle the enterprise market. Swipe left to compile the current project

Technical acumen is a decent mark of a good developer. But if you can marry technical ability with communication skills, you’re a huge asset to any company. "Tommy, can you hear me?"

I'd say the same as Marc, but I'm trying to be silent.
