Dubbed “SurroundWeb”, it’s a project out of Microsoft’s Research Division that presents a fully 3D browser displayed on the walls of any 3D space, using projection methods and scanners to fully detect the size and shape of objects in a room and then intelligently lay out web content across the same space. "The holo-shed's on the fritz again!"

Microsoft’s ambitious Project Spark open world game creator launched in beta on Windows 8.1 back in December, with the promise that it would make its way to the Xbox One eventually, too. Today is the day that it ships on the next-generation gaming console, making it possible for Spark creators to build games on Windows 8.1 and play on their Xbox One, or vice versa. Gentlemen (and ladies), start your pew-pew

If you're talking tech with Americans, you may want to avoid using any jargon. And 9 in 10 desktop developers would likely agree with them

In other news, SEO sounds more like an STD than HTML, me thinks...

Programmers think that C++, Java, etc., are the real programming languages.
I think these were the people polled by the study and the results then extrapolated to the entire US population!

Really funny. I won't travel to USB because I fear that dangerous Gigabytes insect (very painful bites) which could transmit the HTML disease when it fed on MP3 just before...

Quote: Despite the incorrect answers, 61% of the respondents said it is important to have a good knowledge of technology in this day and age.
Despite what the use of despite here is implying, this statement could be true. Excluding the SEO question (which's obscure enough that IMO shouldn't count against the general populus); the worst question only scored 42% wrong.
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?

That's all right, it's probably balanced by 1 in 10 American's believing that AIDS is a programming language.

I expected such a vulnerability to exist. Red Hat Linux is certified by some US authority - hence there must be a backdoor open for NSA. And that backdoor can only reside in code common to most Linux distros - otherwise it is to easy to spot it.

TechCrunch is hearing that Facebook is buying Titan Aerospace, makers of near-orbital, solar-powered drones which can fly for five years without needing to land. According to a source with access to information about the deal, the price for this acquisition is $60 million. Whaaaaaaa?
OK, the notion of "Internet via drone" is possibly the best use of these so far. (Pizza delivery not included)

Maybe the rise of the "Internet of things" and the "Year of Linux" are eventually the same?
