Microsoft's Internet Explorer team always celebrates the holidays with a new web browser benchmark site that has a seasonal theme. "What a sight, making things with Lite-Brite!"

The funny thing that the new benchmark unable to run on IE 9. No 'gracefully degrades' option, nothing...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Not that I'm surprised or anything, but that is a little sad.

Not really surprising. That sort of bench is designed to make your old browser look like elephant droppings so you upgrade to their new one. Graceful degradation would get in the way of that by making IE9 seem to suck less.
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?

Hi,
The benchmark there is using some new features that were not present on IE9. In fact HTML5 was still a working draft 'HTML5'[^] when IE9 was released. Even though it was still a working draft IE9 had a partial 'HTML5' implementation[^].
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

We have a lot to look forward to in 2014, including some big plans that we think customers are going to love. I'm going out on a limb here: new iPhone and iPad...

The so-called "Internet of things" has gotten a lot of hype lately. The idea is pretty simple, albeit logistically complex: Companies can put chips in inanimate objects—cars, thermostats, refrigerators, lightbulbs—that allow those objects to be connected to the Internet and controlled remotely. "Assemble the Minions!"

Like a juggler walking away with dozens of objects suspended in the air, Steve Ballmer is leaving his successor at Microsoft not only a tough act to follow but an even tougher act to continue. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

Microsoft is on the verge of massive change. CEO Steve Ballmer has announced his retirement, and the software giant doesn’t have an immediate replacement waiting in the wings. After 38 years with just two CEOs, the company is searching for its perfect match — someone to move software out of traditional boxes and into service efforts, an individual who can steer towards new a hardware push. "They're the people that you meet, while you're walking down the street"

RSA has issued a statement denying allegations stemming from Friday's bombshell report that the encryption software provider received $10 million from the National Security Agency (NSA) in exchange for making a weak algorithm the preferred one in its BSAFE toolkit. Never have we not accepted nothing from no one
|
|
|
|
|
Why is this not sufficient?
"we have never entered into any contract or engaged in any project with the intention of weakening RSA's products, or introducing potential 'backdoors' into our products for anyone's use."
|
|
|
|
|
I'd call it enough, but then I'm trusting.
I think people were hanging on the "with the intention" part.

Buying local will beat online.
Quote: “The store will ask if you would like to see a certain camera and have a salesperson meet you in a certain aisle where it is located,” Meyerson said. “The ability to do this painlessly, without the normal hassle of trying to find help, is very powerful.”
This I don't believe, in retailers quest for more profits I believe sales persons are heading the same direction that full service gas stations went. I see the store of the future having very few actual humans; a number of kiosks will be available to price and give information about products and when you go to check out it will be totally self service. A lot of stores already have self service aisles and corps. like McD's are experimenting with Kiosks. clickity[^]

I don't think IBM been the most innovative firm last couple years, how'd they be in position to "Predict"?
