When I see Microsoft's new ads, I still cringe. It's just a veiled "developers, developers, developers" thing. It still feels like the rich nerd trying to act like the cool kid. It just doesn't work, and Microsoft should realize that.

Why are the marketing-heads so interested in "rebranding" anyway? I personally don't understand image campaigns.

Actions, not words, Microsoft. Give us more things like Xbox 360 and Kinect (or half of the stuff Research comes up with), less lame attempts to make me "aware" of your cool work on Internet Explorer. If you want me to use your product, make it kick the ass of its competitors in my head. You won't convince me based upon your silly marketing anymore. I've been hurt by that a couple of times before.

I am glad IE has finally started to come around to be a browser worth using, but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that I think these "hip" commercials are targeted toward people that are mostly off of the whole Windows game by now anyway. The problem here is that Microsoft is too late. The Lumia looks beautiful, IE doesn't look bad, but Apple already ate their mobile market and IE had its chance in 2005 when Microsoft didn't seem to take Mozilla seriously.
cause people have been exposed to spanish, portuguese, french and italian all their life and noticed the similarity, while few heard spoken romansh, romanian or ladino. Romania (and moldavia) were behind the iron courtain until yesterday.

Also, as an italian, while i find it possible to understand written romanian, it's much harder to understand it spoken, as the slavic pronounciation is very different.
To make this effective, we need to be able to artificially control the scroll bar, like we can now artificially control history.
I can only speak to my own experience: I used to hang out in #linux on Undernet in the early 2000s. There were a lot of Romanian users on the network at the time, but basically every one of them that joined the channel was showing up to ask about something sketchy (how to hack a server, how to use a proxy, how to delete/disable logs...).

In order to understand why romanians take this so seriously, you need to understand the context. Romania is an ex-communist country from eastern Europe and is widely regarded by the western Europe as poor and corrupt. On top of this, Romania has the largest Roma minority in the region ~500.000 according to wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_(Romani_subgroup). There is a lot of confusion regarding the terms: romanian, roma, romani. In the last 20 years there were several waves of romanian immigrants hitting the western europe, including the Roma minority which are highly nomadic by tradition and very visible in the west because they beg and steal aggressively and live in slums in very primitive conditions. This lead to the association romanians = gipsies, thiefs, primitives etc. The current campaign is a response to these stereotypes, which unfortunately are easily promoted in western europe especially since western mass media can't pick on blacks and arabs anymore cause that's clearly racist and open racism is not trendy anymore.

First of all, as dgquintas pointed out, los romanos son (Spanish) is wrong, as this means Romans are. The correct term is Rumanos.

Secondly, google autosuggest is not necessarily smart... try writing "I hate it when".

Finally, I think prejudices against romanian people are based on the fact that an important part of romanian inmigration into european countries is composed by gipsy romanians, which sadly tend to beg for money, steal or perform other crimes (not all of them, of course, it is a generalization based on what people see and perceive themselves). But of course, only a small portion of romanian people are romanian gipsies...

Microsoft Unveils New Plan to Speed Up the Web: Competes with SPDY
The dark side of Dubai - Johann Hari
My antivirus (that I pay for) is scanning all my personal photos. And my firewall is sniffing every packet that is going there.

Since they are already "intruding" into my "private" life, I won't mind if they show advertisements to me, if at the end they make the antivirus and firewalls free.

I think google is doing nothing different.
Yes, a good website that asks me to disable the blocker will get my repeated visits while being able to show me ads (given that the ads are not too obnoxious). A website that just doesn't work with a blocker enabled will be ignored in the future.
The whole reason I block ads is to let me focus on the content of a site, not fifty flashing boxes around it. Bandwidth saving and speed increases are pleasant side effects.

Don't change your iOS account details while your apps sell like hotcakes
Ouch!

I'm an iOS developer myself and I currently use a sole trader business account. Right now my own iOS developer account bank details are not set up yet.

If the game doesn't sell well, my sole trader account is just fine but if it sells too many I would need to upgrade my company type from sole trader to Limited company here in UK.

In short of having a crystal ball to predict ahead sales so I have the right business type / account setup just how do Apple expect developers change details mid-way without losing their apps from the store and ending up losing ranks / sales like this guy done!?

Review: Asus Zenbook UX31
if you are a businessman or a professional, carrying a laptop is always a necessity for you. While looking at a laptop, the first thing that comes to your mind is always its size followed by power and then the look and feel. The new Asus Zenbook UX31 is a modern laptop that will not allow you to take your eyes off once you see it. This review compiled by Qresolve, a frontline premium computer support service provider aims to aware you about the pros and cons of this modern power machine that can suit both office and home requirement.
Assume that an incrementing id is assigned to blog posts. The first page would always have the 10 most recent items. The "next" link would look like "/blog?offset=500". So when you click that, you get the items numbered 500-491, and the "next" link on that page is "/blog?offset=490". Admittedly the URLs are ugly, but the advantage is that the contents don't change when items are added, only when they are deleted (the same can't be said for the page=N scheme).
Or you could invalidate just one page and have it show up with one less result.

Part of the problem is that humans tend to focus on negative things. If you make something wrong, theres always some person there to point his finger at you, if you make something great, you don't always getting praise for it. It's the same with your memories, you tend to remember bad times more and longer than good times.
Very cool idea; all I can get however is "Sorry, something went wrong. We've been notified and are on the case!" (I'm trying to get maps from France).
Commercials and advertising often remind me of "talking the talk". Much of what Microsoft needs to do is "walk the walk".

Microsoft needs to do three things:

1. Come out with better, more insightful products. This is something it actually is doing: 360, Windows Phone and Windows 8 all look awesome. I would be very happy for Balmer to leave and for him to be replaced by J Allard (Entertainment and Devices head that left/was forced out). From the outside looking in, it looked like Allard had vision, he knew how to execute, and he knew the culture the company needed to cultivate to achieve it. Xbox and Windows Phone was out of E&D, as well as the canned-but-great-looking Courier.

2. Have better ad campaigns. Across all divisions, the ad campaigns have been uniformly awful.

3. Keep executing cleanly. No company is past redemption, but Microsoft's history is not good. They need to keep being good citizens. Trust takes time, but it's very easy to lose it (see Yahoo!).
Adobe Launching Flash Player 11.2 and Premium Features for Gaming
I'd love an Android version of this that hooks up into the calendars that I sync. I love the idea that I can automatically let people know roughly where I am (or more importantly, others are) if I'm running late to a meeting. A cool feature I could think of is that the app can give estimates of how long it will take for person x to arrive given that they are walking/driving on public transportation.

Also, I find it incredibly amusing that the Moojive team is based in Sydney. Knowing the public transportation/traffic there it's only logical that this app came from there. If there's one constant in life, it's that you're going to be late to something in Sydney.

How to do Ping and Traceroute for Windows and Mac
So its an argument about which third party you trust? Google or the DVLA? perhaps people trust google because they have to already. If you are running chrome and using gmail you are implicitly trusting them with your data. I agree that this is a bad way of picking a tehnology.

I like the chip and pin approach; its a good solution. Perhaps banks should provide federated login. Do you trust them ? :)

At the moment, it looks like she just plans on turning off all connectivity on the iPad so that it will no longer sync and the app will remain even if it is removed from the iTunes store.

Huh? Removing an app from the store doesn't remove it from devices that have it installed. There's no reason to disable connectivity. If you sync the device with iTunes (instead of just backing up to iCloud) then you can keep the app forever.

Disclaimer: I'm a Principal Consultant with Readify.

I'm not familiar with this particular project, however I'd like to clarify a bit based on our engagement focus. Organisations like SEEK engage us to help improve development team process, with tooling on the side to support it.

While the case study talks about them engaging us to help with source control, it doesn't talk about an inability to get something like Git, Hg or SVN working. Instead, it talks to them getting some external advise about effecting an organisational change in their development teams. We also likely brought experience/scripts to help migrate their history from whichever ageing system they were in.

TL;DR: The SEEK devs wouldn't need us to come and help them just install an SCM and leave.

The Not So Short Guide To LaTeX has always been a godsend to me, and it's free.
No value types, no generics, this forces all sort of hacks with arrays to pack memory layouts when you don't want to use reference types (think small vector structures, tuples) and inefficient code generated for Java templates (essentially everything gets boxed to Object). Value types don't touch GC. Also on the low level Mono has SIMD vector support which is also useful, you can even turn off dynamic bound checking when you need extra performance and presumably already did the testing. Also native interop is better with PInvoke. This might not be relevant for web development (although jgit and twitter teams both mentioned they had problems with this), but I did game development before switching and this sort of thing really matters. .NET was bad on the JIT/inlining/optimization side but Mono fixes that with AOT compilation/using LLVM for code generation.

And .NET has better libraries to deal with asynchronous programming, Task uses continuation passing and each thread has it's own "event loop" with SynchronizationContext, it's really simple to switch between them, Java has all sort of mixes, some API's use pooling, some use continuations, and you have to mess around with Executors since there is no equivalent to SynchronizationContext. Also RX is a wonderful abstraction on event streams. Java can't even consider this sort of API's because it has no lambdas/extension methods, and this reflects in JVM libraries.

"Don't worry about screwing anything up as you can just delete the directory and start over."

Thats a problem. git is version control, you are not, you must not always for every command keep track of whats happening in your directories so you can attempt some magic at resolving problems, and now reverting back to mv and cp for managing something git should do really well.

The problem most often is not remote repositories, as you say there should be no distinction if the repo is cloned from a server or from another directory. But there is. And a tons of tutorials all go through hoops to explain remoting vs local stuff.

Please don't go the Daily Mail for anything more than an idea of what small minded scared bigots we English sometimes can be.
I love Latex but it (or more specifically TeX) is showing its age. It's perfect for writing a paper given a good template but writing and debugging these templates (.cls, .sty) is unnecessarily hard. For my job (in academia), I have to update such Latex templates on a monthly basis and always end up looking at the current improvements for Latex. This updating task involves not 'writing' in Latex but 'programming' in Latex. If you are used to modern programming languages then Tex is stubborn and hard, therefore, I always have the feeling there is improvement possible (I mean, Python, Javascript, C++, ... are all easier to debug). Although people are working hard on this and doing interesting work (i.e., LuaLatex, Latex3), I feel the underlying Tex language has had its time and a more drastic change might be necessary. Remember that Tex is designed for computers with an order of magnitude less resources.

An increasingly interesting Latex replacement is, maybe surprisingly, html in combination with css and javascript. With every update of our browser the inspection and debugging tools become more powerful and every time I can track layout and programming bugs a little bit faster. With the addition of more properties targeting paged media in css3 it now becomes possible to also create nicely looking pdfs starting from html. Prince (http://www.princexml.com/), for example, is ahead of the browsers for CSS paged media properties and outputs a pdf-file directly. But also typical features for which we praise Latex are becoming available:

- Mathematical formulae: http://www.mathjax.org/

- Bibliographies: http://citationstyles.org/

- Advanced hyphenation: http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/

Most people only use the basic commands and don't care about the underlying engine. Therefore, Latex as a 'writing' language is not too attached to the Tex 'programming' language. Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) could be enough to translate such Latex code to another markup format and use another engine. (Academics tend to use advanced Latex macros only when in need of space ;-))

I would guess over 90% of photos pinned on Pinterest are from pages that contain text and other photos. A single pinned photo is a lot like a news excerpt.

When I say "lording over their content" (which I agree is theirs), what I mean is that they are lording over their business model, or the perceived value of the content. They are thinking it is a zero sum game and that if you view their photo somewhere else, they lost something.

What are the real world scenarios where Pinterest isn't helping the content owner of a piece of pinned content? My experience is that it is a massive traffic driver; that users do indeed visit the original site, a lot. Even if many don't, that doesn't mean that is lost traffic.

> AFAIK this is what patents were supposed to do, instead of people locking away their inventions they would give incentives for people to share their knowledge so everyone would get the results but the owner would be able to benefit from publishing

True, but the compensation for sharing their knowledge is an absolute, legally enforceable lockdown for so many years. Everyone benefits only when the patent expires. In the meantime the patent holder controls the market and reaps the benefits, hence it becomes a legal, time-limited monopoly. The only possible countermeasure is to have critical patents yourself and play a game of dissuasion, or throw yourself into Mutually Assured Litigation.

Indeed in that case the only solution would have been to patent the 'guess which of the 2-10 multi-touch taps is intentional' technique in hopes that you could countersue or trade it, hence locking down the area further and preventing progress even more. And that's not even taking moral issues into account.
