13 Buzzword compliant.
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 is a company of services and devices and they use these products to create experiences, as Nadella puts it. Cortana has the ability to unify these experiences in a compelling way; to be a bridge between many Microsoft islands. In Windows 9, Cortana will play a key role in being a useful assistant in helping you be more productive.

I like Cortana.
I know I'm just scratching the surface of what it can be used for, but things like setting reminders and alarms by voice makes it worth it to me. Also tracking my flight has been useful. Well, the your flight has landed message isn't so useful (thanks, I think I figured that out), although I guess it could be if you were tracking someone else's flight.
The only thing that bugs me is the commercials. They should use Cortana's voice. It feels dishonest It's just like marketing to change the voice.

We in IT have to realize that only users get to decide whether ‘it’s fixed’. 'Works on my machine'? Wait, that's four words

"it compiles"
should be enough to get into trouble in my part of the wood.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yeah, we had an architect at one old job that would check broken code in so often we started calling him, "It compiles in Notepad"

"it's fixed." is 3 words, not 2!
"It works" works better in regards to the "it" that IT made once again to work.
(does that sentence work...?)
|
|
|
|
|
I don't agree. It's either fixed or it's not. The user doesn't determine that any more than the IT worker.
Simply don't say "it's fixed" if you don't know, or if it doesn't apply. So, if it's a performance problem, ask, "I've improved [insert this or that] and it's doing [whatever] faster. What do you think?"

Of the adjustment I've made, the new processing time will allow for your coffee to brew more strongly.
Either that, or sizzle your bacon more crisper
If you'd like, I can adjust it so both can be achieved.

You're right. (Never admit someone else is right, it destroys your credibility, and therefore, you are wrong, it's not 3 words, it's 2.)

New job listing data shows that demand for Python developers is up significantly. "And now for something completely different"

It's too bad the whole Python 3 fiasco is killing this nice dynamic language.

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be thinner and larger, but reports are emerging that the aluminium construction has left some users bent out of shape. That can't be good for your reception

As our PM Narendra Modi rightly said, "we have dared to reach out into the unknown and have achieved the near impossible,"
We are the only nation so far to reach Mars on its first attempt. We are also the nation who have spent the least amount of money to do so. India’s Mars mission has a price tag of about $74 million, a fraction of the $671 million cost of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s latest Mars program, about three-quarters of the amount to make the Oscar-winning movie 'Gravity' about astronauts stranded in space.
NASA congratulated India in a Twitter message, welcoming Mangalyaan (Sanskrit for Mars-craft) to studying the Red Planet.
In its six-month life, the mission will study the atmosphere of Mars and search for methane gas while asking that eternal question that has dogged humanity: "Are we alone in the universe?"
Without faith and will, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible

Yup,
For this needs your contribution for codeproject.
There are so may badges and offers in codeproject.
You will get today or tomorrow

And yet the US still gives 10's of millions of US dollars to India in the form of aid every year. More than a billion dollars over the last decade. Why is that?
BTW - Congrats on the Mars project!
