This is the year where cheap computers and pervasive networks manifest themselves in cheap smartphones sold across the world. I thought this was the Year of Linux? Or does Smartphone come after Snake?

Nope.
Smartphones come with Snake Oil.

This major update changes the kind of impact that apps built with Siena can have within a business. Project Siena now enables business users to connect apps to powerful web services – from popular consumer services to enterprise SaaS to services created by IT. Now even more... like a city in Italy?

Even in the age of virtualization, it's no easy trick to pack up and move applications where you need them -- at least it wasn't until Docker was invented Those pants are still popular? Oh wait, Docker, not Dockers.

Microsoft will rebrand its cloud platform from 'Windows Azure' to 'Microsoft Azure' as part of the company's push to emphasize its cross-platform services prowess. "And that has made all the difference."

Or maybe they just want to drop the "Windows" brand altogether. It hasn't exactly had the best few years...

Or position the company for a split between software / services ?

|

Quite possibly, though I suppose that would make for an inauspicious end to "One Microsoft."

Totally agree.

OK, they've renamed the first half. Now can they finish the job and rename the second half?

Why?? Does that make you sad? ... i.e., blue?
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

Six new bugs uncovered in Google's mobile platform shows how every Android-powered device – more than a billion devices in all – are vulnerable to malware thanks to privilege escalation issues. How amusing: "discovered by researchers from Indiana University and Microsoft"

I read this and thought: "Is Kent copying and pasting old new items? That's no like him!"
Seems Android is the (old) Windows.

Far be it for me to assume you have a keyboard macro mapped to "Android security issues".
In all seriousness it's the largest growth OS and it provides the greatest opportunities for social engineering and malware attacks.
For now I'll stick to the Fort-Knox-like security [^] of my Macs.

I suspect made worse by it's best feature: the openness. While security through obscurity doesn't work, it does limit people from just strolling through the OS source code to find vulnerabilities.
Yeah, rock-solid those shiny boxes (goto fail indeed).

Google.....
I guess this is a result of Android being 'open, not secure'. I heard that that original statement knocked Android down a few notches as people got rid of their devices. I know a few people who did that.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Oh. I get it. It's funny that hayseeds from the Midwest discovered a security vulnerability.
Yes, sometimes we do climb off the tractor and see what's going on in the world

No, I have fond memories of my visits to your fair state: "Look, corn! Hey, more corn!"
No, it was more that Microsoft was conveniently involved in the research.

Hey, Nish lives about 50 miles north of me, so the place can't be all bad.
