Major U.S. technology companies have largely ended the practice of quietly complying with investigators’ demands for e-mail records and other online data, saying that users have a right to know in advance when their information is targeted for government seizure. Psst. Hey, bro. They are coming.

Linus Torvalds discusses performance profiling on core kernel code, particularly the VM and filesystem. An interesting post on Google+? I do believe a pig may fly.

Seems reasonable and mature to me - apply patches to XP/IE that are issues that also occur in later versions. Don't develop new patches exclusive to XP.

The opinions of others play a major role in people’s purchasing decisions, whether the opinions are about restaurants, movies, or apps.
With respect to apps, opinions and reviews also affect how visible they will be in app store search results and how likely they will be featured on the app store. #6 - Don't suck.

This science-fiction infomercial was made to raise awareness of the fact that bees—which are crucial for the survival of all species, including ours*—are dying all around the world. The fact is that this video isn't too far from the truth: bees may go extinct if we don't act promptly and scientists are already working on robotic replacements. The bees, won't somebody please think of the bees!

What will we do with the birds that prey on bees? Replace them with robots too? Then we'll also need robot-mold, to decompose the bodies.

Unless a bird can feed off those, they'd be rather dangerous to the environment.

The Internet of Things has been hyped for 15 years, but until now technological realities haven't supported technological possibilities.
Today, given the confluence of cheap semiconductors, telecom operators with excess capacity and a new generation of open source data infrastructure, IoT is not simply possible, but probable. The question is what developers will do with it. Ultimately, as I've written, big money awaits developers who can turn IoT's Big Data into cross-device services. Aint' no party like a Big Data party!

Yahoo yesterday announced that it will stop complying with Do Not Track signals that Web browsers send on behalf of users who wish to not be monitored for advertising purposes. Well if that's the case, then I guess check off the "Do Not Use" settings.

Software giant Microsoft has released a fix to a critical vulnerability that hit its Internet Explorer Web browser over the weekend, and it has even fixed the flaw in versions for Windows XP, for which official support recently ended. I guess I don't have to update from XP then...

Roblox is giving back to creators by creating a Developer Exchange program where it pays the game creators for making popular titles within the Roblox community. Kids ... paying ... for their own tuition?

This opinionated, introductory guide is intended for the Java programmer (all 9 million of them) who wants to learn how to write modern, lean Java, or for the Python/Ruby/Javascript programmer who’s heard (or may have experienced) bad things about Java and is curious to see how things have changed and how they can get Java’s awesome performance, flexibility and monitoring without sacrificing too much coolness. Good, because I think my Father's Java was powered by liqour.

The history of BASIC. "Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day."

The article seems to crash my Droid after causing it to overheat even more than Google Maps does.
<snarky>Was it written in BASIC?</snarky>
"And the thing is, some of the characteristics that have given BASIC a bad reputation are precisely the same ones that made it so easy to learn."
is perhaps more accurate as:
"And the thing is, some of the characteristics that made it so easy to learn are precisely the same ones that have given BASIC a bad reputation."
Oh, I guess snarky was still on.
