What're you talking about? Oracle is as agile as two high speed trains approaching each other on the same track. Bits and pieces end up going in every direction.
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?

Microsoft has a new Office tool that's really useful if you regularly take screenshots. Microsoft Snip, available in beta now, allows Windows users to capture screenshots and then annotate on them and record audio over the top. Aaaaaand there goes Camtasia

The Microsoft Edge Team just built a proof-of-concept browser to show developers that they too can build a web browser for the Universal Windows Platform. Are they hoping for a better replacement for Edge?
|

Well, I was really hoping to be able to reuse the EdgeHTML rendering engine in a .NET application. Unfortunately, there's no .tlb anymore like there was for MSHTML. Again, people who don't like to build a UWP app from scratch but would like to embrace the new stuff and use it in their exisiting solutions are left in the cold. IMO, forcing people to use a certain technology exclusively is a bad idea, it shows that they have no confidence developers would use it if they had the choice.

Need a quiet spot to check your email? Looks like for many people, that’s the bathroom. According to a new study from Adobe, 42 percent of Americans use their time there to check their email. Text with the left, swipe with the right

Ewwwww.....
Anyway, I believe that 0% of Amercians check their email in the loo, although I do believe a huge % check their email in the restroom or bathroom EDIT or outhouse. We don't have loos here.
Interesintgly, 87% of UKers & Canadians actually do check their email in the loo.
True story.

That IS surprising.
I expected to look at a number closer to 100%

And of the 48% that claim they don't, 98% of them lied.

Once, not so long ago, "computing" was synonymous with Microsoft Windows. But thanks to the rise of the smartphone and tablet, those days are behind us. Freecell becomes the new monopoly?

In 2009, Eugene Kaspersky, co-founder of one of the world's top security companies, told some of his lieutenants that they should attack rival antivirus software maker AVG Technologies by "rubbing them out in the outhouse," one of several previously undisclosed emails shows. That would make them (of course) an anti-anti-virus company

Since the beginning of the consumer tech industry, there’s really only been one business model for hardware startups: build a product and hope people buy it.
That’s starting to change - the hardware market is now starting to look more and more like the software business and several Canadian startups are starting to take advantage of this new market. Well that's a mouthful.

One man's journey learning Clojure. Embrace the parentheses.

Quote: Perhaps the next thing that hits you, coming from a background in Java, is the lack of static type checking. (
...
On the other hand, it’s a bit like ‘Holy-cow, I’m just receiving a map as an argument to my function! What the hell has it got in it?’ Err, yeah, your guess is as good as mine4.
But if you can live without the typing of Java, then Clojure is remarkably productive.
I think I'll pass.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

I found myself in somewhat of a unique position last week: I’d made the Ashley Madison data searchable for verified subscribers of Have I been pwned? (HIBP) and now – perhaps unsurprisingly in retrospect – I was being inundated with email. I mean hundreds of emails every day with people asking questions about the data. Not just asking questions, but often giving me their life stories as well. In the words of Shaggy: "It wasn't me."

I'm not. I've never gone wrong betting on human stupidity.
... and now back to reveling in schadenfreude over the fiasco.

New research from data security solutions vendor Imperva sheds new light into directed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against businesses, showing not only are attack volumes increasing – attacks are lasting longer as well.. Harder, better, faster, stronger.

Google has secretly hidden a tool inside its search results that recruits talented new programmers for the company. Searching for some complex programming terms can lead to access to a series of online puzzles. Solving the puzzles can lead to a job. Guess my searches for cat videos didn't grab Sergey's or Larry's attention.

This is actually part of Google's super secret recruiting tool. Congrats on the interview!
