Do you spend more than seven hours a day parked in front of a computer monitor? Results from a newly published study suggest you could be stripping your "tear film" of a component that helps keep your eyes clean, lubricated and healthy. "Can I do it until I need glasses?"

The original medical article is titled "Alteration of Tear Mucin 5AC in Office Workers Using Visual Display Terminals" and uses "VDT" throughout the article.
We all have VDTs and we're gonna DIE!@!
Then I read more of the article.
It states "The team found participants who worked with computer screens for more than seven hours each day ..."
WOW, what a relief!! Cuz I spent 12+ hours staring at a computer each NIGHT!

We’ve recently shipped new collection types on NuGet with our Immutable Collections package. NuGet allows us to ship prerelease and experimental versions of libraries to gather feedback from the community. In this post, our software developer intern Ian Hays will talk about his intern project: an experimental NuGet package containing advanced collection types. Need to store a collection of collections? (When will the madness end?)

In my team I'm the only developer who uses immutable types and collections. I expect the others to change to match my usage eventually...

A few months old, but I don't recall it being reported here at the time:
According to their data, they have found that Android is the leader in downloads, however despite that, their app revenue is around $1.2 billion. This is no small figure but in contrast to Windows Phone whose app downloads is only a fraction of Android, their app revenue is at $0.95 billion, which is pretty close to what Android is making. Statistic Brain breaks it down further and finds that Windows Phone developers essentially make on average about $0.23 per download, versus Android developers who only make $0.04. As for iOS, they are leading in app revenue at $6.4 billion which puts them at $0.24 per download.
That's WP8's app market having total sales revenue in 2013 that is 79% of the total from Google Play, and an ARPU that's 96% as large as that from iOS users.
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?

The Chinese Government infamously announced recently that they have banned the use of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 on Government PC's due to the cloud/Modern UI integration. While it may not sound like a big deal on the surface, Microsoft are currently panicking regarding the whole ordeal, and are currently reconsidering a number of plans with Windows 9. Maybe they can put an XP UI over the Win8 foundation?

I think they should resurrect Microsoft Bob as the default shell. Everybody loved Bob!

The Supreme Court ruled in a closely watched patent case that has implications for U.S. innovation and, especially, for the technology sector. "On a computer" isn't grounds for a patent. Hopefully they can get rid of software patents in general.

The web is a rich computing platform with unparalleled reach. In recent years, mobile devices have brought the web to billions of new users and introduced many new device capabilities, screen sizes, input methods, and more. To help developers navigate this brave new world, we built Web Fundamentals, a curated source for modern best practices. Today, we’re making it even easier to build multi-device experiences with the Beta release of the Web Starter Kit. I dunno. Do you think this web thing will take off?

When the D-Wave 2 was first released last year, it was accompanied by a tidal wave of hype. The machine was a self-proclaimed quantum computer, commercially available to anyone with $15 million to spend, and attracting the attention of everyone from NASA to the NSA. The cat died
