Well it could be worse. They could be trying to manage things.
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 execs quietly showed off new compiler technology under development at the company that aims to compile .Net code to native code directly. Write once, run just here

They should just buy .Net Reactor and merge it with Visual Studio, job done!

Amazon Web Services is launching its own virtual cloud desktop service, called Amazon WorkSpaces — promising to deliver a Windows 7 operating system and software from Amazon’s cloud to traditional desktops, laptops, Android tablets and Apple iOS devices including the iPad. Why bother with those horrid dust collectors in the office? Stick them far away beyond a long network connection instead!

In a speech at London's Science Museum, the famed physicist says the Higgs boson discovery makes physics less interesting. He adds that we've only got 1,000 years left on Earth anyway. Oh, if only the Higgs were 140GeV, that would be interesting, wouldn't it?

oday, I’m very excited to launch Visual Studio 2013 and .NET 4.5.1. I am also thrilled to announce Visual Studio Online, a collection of developer services that runs on Windows Azure and extends the development experience in the cloud. Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio Online represent the beginning of a new era for Visual Studio, combining a powerful desktop IDE with rich developer services in the cloud. "To the moon, Alice, to the moon!"

why all the hate?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the US: It was rather a zynic outburst which made me using the oldest US cliché ever.

Few things in computing are as vital as the lowly hard drive. If your memory goes bad or your processor blows, it’s easy enough to switch out; when a hard drive gives up the ghost, your precious files expire along with it. Usually until 15 minutes before you create a backup

During. It's always during the effing backup.
Ugh.

The Computer History Museum has published the source code for the Apple II DOS. Last spring, CNET was first to report the existence of documents that led to the creation of the code. Go ahead: type it all in. It will be just like the old days.

It's not really a new version (not based on the new features) - just a upgrade to 2012...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).
|
|
|
|
|
But the upgrades are, IMHO, valuable enough to justify the new version.
