Microsoft has announced that it will start using the HTTPS protocol by default to encrypt all search traffic coming from Bing. So no one but you will know that you're not using Bing for searches

The results of a study released today by IT management firm Landesk, however, paint a more peaceful picture of the relationship between line-of-business and IT. "You like me, right now, you like me!"

Why would Bloomberg Business devote a whole issue—38,000 words—to the subject of writing computer code and managing computer coders? Because that’s the future. "But I was into it before it was cool."
Gotta go find some tight jeans and a jack shirt now, or whatever the current "ironic" kids are wearing.

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?

Many of you have asked about what we do with all of the feedback that we receive in the Windows Insider Program, and how we’re able to use it all to inform product decisions with your input. With this post, I’m excited to share some behind the scenes info with you on how your input is used to help “co-develop” Windows. Somewhere between "as little as possible" and "maybe this will shut them up"

Yeah, I told them over and over not to get rid of the start menu on Windows 8... but did they listen?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Angel spent the last dozen years in the .NET ecosystem. He even helped to build it during his time working at Microsoft and Nokia. One down, several million remain

Exactly why I went looking for a full time job 10 years ago instead of consulting. Technologies are like picking stocks; sometimes they go up and sometimes they go down, but they never stay up forever. The last thing I wanted to do is continue to guess and waste time picking the wrong technologies and chasing that magic technology that would bring me riches.

2 points.
1. Angel leaves .Net environment, who cares
2. Not everybody should be Android Dev.

Well, I'm guessing Angel cares, so there's one.
Besides, do you realize what that means? Now .NET development is where Angels fear to tread!

Justin Angel confuses percentages with hard numbers. Because of mobile device development, more development jobs overall exist. C# now holds a smaller percentage of software development jobs, but its demand hasn't gone down.
Also, of the "obsolete" technologies he listed, only Silverlight is truly losing support. Furthermore, all ecosystems over time receive new frameworks, libraries, and API's to adjust to newer trends in software development (not just the .NET ecosystem); you can't criticize .NET for coming out with new API's all the time without also criticizing all development platforms.
And the Java/Android ecosystem he moved to has its own problems (and its own host of doomsday prophets, too).

Full respect for anyone, but that looks like the "money" perspective of the programming jobs.
I develop for solving problems: phones aren't solving me too much, but desktops still hold the (mandatory) way to super-view machines and automation in general.
In my opinion, the numbers might be real but that does not imply the C#/.Net is an obsolete world. At all.

Angel left .NET, but Justin took it up!
All is balanced! All is round!

Leaving C#/.NET for Java/Android? Seriously? And why is every other Angel asking for the death of .NET? I don't see it dying anytime soon.

Microsoft's rather complicated Windows 10 as a service strategy is slowly coming into focus. Does 'down their throats' sound about right?

I see ZDnet has a new page layout. In a welcome change compared to almost every other news site I've been to in the last year that's done the same; they managed to do so without adding a single div of crap to force me to fire up ye old content blocker to fix things. In an even bigger surprise I had no real complaints visiting the site using a browser that didn't filter anything at all. 
Near instant page load.
No crap floating on top of the article.
No crap that pops up when you mouse over random words while scrolling.
No crap jammed in the middle of an article to try and get the readers attention by interrupting them. (Yes Mr. Advertiser, this will get my attention. No, that's not a good thing for you.)
News site page designers, this is how you do it.
