ComScore found that six brands -- Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Amazon, and eBay -- built nine of the top 10 mobile apps. "It's no surprise that they're giving none away"

Hmm. It's interesting though that Instagram, Whatsapp, and others were all started by individuals and were then bought by one of the large companies mentioned *after* they'd already made the top 10.
Stupid article.Quote: Also, it depends on how you define killer app. Games like Angry Birds break app download records but you don't see it appearing in ComScore's list of apps that people spend the most time in. Depending on monetization strategy, that kind of popularity can still yield a big windfall, but typically only over the short term. Bingo! In other words, their "top 10 list" is meaningless.
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

The ISO wants to standardize software testing, but it's encountering pushback from testers and is unlikely to get uptake in large companies. Does ISO get paid by the standard?

Once again the pursuit of perfection is the enemy of progress and rather than getting some kind of standard for software testing then improving it we have endless committees of the subclause. The basis of this standard[^] has not moved out of draft since 2007!

What we need is a standard on how to define ever-changing standards. A meta-standard. Because changing a standard is not standard. But in this case, as with many, it needs to be. So that when a standard changes, the old standard becomes not standard and the new standard becomes standard.

Less than half of development teams do code reviews and the other half are probably not getting as much out of code reviews as they should. 4 Stars: I laughed, I cried.

Easy. No time spent on code reviews is ever wasted.

Strongly disagree. I've sat through hours and hours of them with previous employers. In many cases I'd argue that the outcome was worse code.
But as the article pointed out, these fell in the: "But you don’t have to do code reviews this way – and you shouldn’t." category.

|
|
Still not wasted. You learned something.
|

I learned not to do code reviews. So yeah, that's something.

I thought you learned to find a job at a company with a better process.

Into the same category as the smoking uncle of 120 years old.

I'd say it belongs more in the category of the uncle once bit by a dog who was forever more a cat person.
There might be a right way to do code reviews. But I've yet to see it.

I liked that.
Got more out of it than I expected.
Two thumbs up!

All code is flawless until proven otherwise.

You ever open up some old code.... and wonder how it even compiled?

Microsoft Research published a report that signals that the company is looking for ways that it could use its cloud expertise to create a unique cloud gaming platform at some point in the future. It discusses DeLorean, a “speculative execution engine” that makes it possible to delivery seemingly lag-free gameplay from the cloud despite the myriad sources of network latency between Microsoft’s Azure servers and a player’s device. "Wait a minute Doc, uh, are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?"

A weakness in Android, Windows, and iOS mobile operating systems could be used to obtain personal information. I'm 92% sure this is bad news

I'm 92% sure this won't ever be a problem for me

Specifically, we are looking to developers building hybrid apps using Apache Cordova and/or developers building web apps, to provide feedback on their experiences through our anonymous survey. "Your feedback will provide direct input to support changes in future versions of Visual Studio." So it's not like all the other surveys then?
