I have to get that on a bumper sticker (need a bumper as well).

You'd better get a really big bumper for that sticker.

And so you realise how hard it is for me to actually flame a man who can wear a suit like that. I did not do it lightly, nor without pause.

If we can't trust our 90s music icons to set global policy, who can we trust?
I am glad you kept his suit in mind while flaming. I hope you also included thoughts of that hand-head merger thingie he did. Gah. Guess I know what I'm listening to today.

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?

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"

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.
