Yes, you can... at least that is the place where it sits at home...

Adobe has made the cloud an essential part of its business strategy, but today it's been dealt a major blow thanks to cyber attackers. The company has revealed that an intrusion led to Adobe IDs and passwords along with "certain information" about 2.9 million customers falling into the hands of hackers. Now *that's* a creative cloud

If you are a website owner, you know that understanding who has been visiting your site, where they are from, and what pages they looked at (and for how long) is absolutely essential if you are to have any hope of growing and developing your online presence. If you have no idea who your site visitors are, then you are walking blindfolded. "Who's that knocking on my door, all last night and the night before"

The same way that each grocer and butcher is blind? Not asking their customers where they came from, where they're going to, not timing the duration of the visit. Not saving the useragent string from each visit, how did they ever manage? -

Well, the grocer and butcher would have their stock decreased as a mark of the sale. Web sites don't (usually, not talking retail sites here) have a similar transaction, so having data about the browser/customer is much more valuable.

I'm pretty sure they have those in Japan...

Anything that puts you before the competition is valuable.

Amazon's set-top box could make its way to stores this year. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon hopes to begin selling a device that looks and acts like a Roku in time for the holiday season. While it would largely focus on delivering Amazon's own video content to buyers' televisions, the box would also allow other apps to run on it, helping it to compete with the vast content offerings from competitors like Roku. The set top box was first rumored earlier this year, though it was then targeted for a release during the fall, suggesting that development may have fallen behind. Because we all need something else to plug into our TVs

Just think - they could succeed as multiple companies, each focused on a single app type, just like Borland, WordPerfect and Novell before them.

I'm surprised at the lack of workflow optimization I see in most front-end application development projects. Time and time again I see boilerplate activities carried out manually over and over. So many of these brain-dead pursuits can be automated easily, saving countless hours and adding quality. It's called Web development, not Web fiddling around

Before YouTube, watching video on line was a hit-and-miss proposition. There were Flash video players, but many videos need to be downloaded before you could play them. Developer Yash Kumar saw a parallel to the world of code. No cat videos? Then what's the point?

Reactive programming, in which programs react to events, is gathering steam as a mechanism for programming on multicore processors and for Web development. The concept is growing in importance in the Java realm, in particular. Typesafe, which has built its Akka middleware stack around the Scala language and reactive programming, is an advocate, and Netflix has been touting functional, reactive programming with its RxJava library for asynchronous and event-based programs, based on Microsoft's Reactive Extensions project. Java reacts to .NET

I always appreciate it when readers take the time to explain why they feel a certain way. I'm often accused of being overly loyal to a brand (Microsoft), but it's easy to see when people are being just as loyal to their own (Apple, Google, VMware, and so forth). I'll admit this may affect my judgment. It's the fanboys of the other stuff that are the problem

It's clear that open source is shaking up the technology industry. What isn't yet clear is how this impacts legacy vendors. /sigh. When in doubt, sprinkle a little hyperbole in your headlines
