Microsoft is working on a new browser for Windows 10, and if you have been following our leaks, you will remember our post from way back in September where we began talking about the new browser and its updated interface. Looks... like a browser.

Yes there were a few news about these Internet Explorer to get some rest after doing a lot of good work such as giving us ability to download Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc on our machines. 
Maybe this is a browser, but I just wish this is not like its ancestor, the Mighty Internet Explorer. Anyone wants to join me for the prayer? I would love to have other developers, and designers who are tired to spending their 10hr/week for web development and designing, and rest of the hrs for removing the bugs in their Internet Explorer version of the website.

I tried a little prayer. Unfortunately, they're saying that it's still Trident as the main rendering engine, so I think we'll have "job security" for a while to come.

Your argument completely depends upon which version of IE you use. I bet you never have used IE 11, have you?
I myself have recently switched completely to IE 11 and I find it way "better" (almost in every sense I can possibly think of) than the recent versions of Chrome and even Firefox. And I do not have any immediate plans to go back.
I use Firebug for dev purposes though..
I do not have any intention to start any fanboi kinda stuff here. It's just my opinion.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Yes I did use IE11. It is an improvement, but no, Google Chrome is way better!
I respect your motive too, but I also have right to say and do what I like. Don't I ?

Well yes, but it will be only until you open the Task Manager and see its RAM footprints.

There's no point having RAM if you're not using it. So long as it can be reclaimed in the event something else wants great chunks of it too, large memory use is a good thing.
That's exactly why the memory footprint of Windows at idle is so large - you may as well use it if you've got it.

Sure it is, but large memory use by a browser is certainly not a good thing especially when you are having other important memory-intensive applications running and "trivially" using a browser (with at most a couple of tabs open).
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

So? The article says nothing - 30 lines of emptiness...A forged screen-shot and nothing more. It still do not changes that Trident and Chakra are there!

CEO Brian Krzanich just announced a major extension of that focus at the company's CES keynote presentation with the Intel Curie Module. It's a low-power hardware module that could be used to build wearables out of things like rings, bags, pendants, or glasses. Dang. Swallowed my computer again

The slowest thing to change in the world is human nature. It’s easy to upgrade technology, but when it comes to people’s habits and beliefs change takes time. Some people just need to wear pants

What I'm surprised businesses haven't caught on to is paying the employee less for working remotely. After all, they incur fewer expenses in fuel and vehicle maintenance, wardrobe, etc., so why should they get paid the same as the guy who spends $50 a day commuting -- an hour or more in the car, tolls, subways, eating out for lunch, etc.
Besides, I think Scott doesn't want to speak the truth -- it's not people's habits, it's a control thing. Managers want to pretend at playing at God and have control over their peons.

Ding ding ding! Yup.
This was entirely the issue when I was back at the Fish Shoppe. They had the technology (heck, they sold and pushed the technologies), but managers just wanted to see butts in seats. Or better yet, wasting away in four or five meetings a day about their lack of productive work.

"...it's a control thing. Managers want to pretend at playing at God and have control over their peons."
DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! 
Having worked remotely in previous jobs, it comes down to the level of laziness of the people in charge. Holding people accountable for their work and having a level of trust is critical - otherwise this will never work.

The flip side is that if you work at home, you never leave work. I've been working at home for 12 years along with associates of mine...some work at office and some at home...the ones at home seem to get a lot more work done.
I have spent lots of years in the office environment though, so I think once you have your work habits set, you're going to be productive wherever you are.

Everything you said is so true.
I have no idea why weather-inclement days they would want us to drive in but they do. Waste all that time shoveling snow and commuting and being tired and all that. PLus there are savings from energy costs but they don't even talk about it. It's all about control.

Working remote is not for me.

Why not?
