Quartz: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, here’s the real definition of karma. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwh9iU1ho

That's not true. Hardware where VMs are hosted requires repairs from time to time, so VMs do require migration.

No live migration huh?

Windows 8.1 was 9. Or not?

No, that's reserved for the future versions.

Or is it Windows X?

Interesting. What's also interesting is that they allow signing in with the Google+ accounts.

Singularity has evolved into Midori project but to the latest rumor it was cancelled and the team disbanded.

Talk about fragmentation.

Good article. Another interesting and fascinating article from Erik is "A co-Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks" (http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1961297).

They do want the profit, they just keep reinvesting it to capex.

Looks like a joke.

This looks much better than a "traditional" helicopter style drone that Amazon is demonstrating. Interesting that Google picks this up as well, probably we are going to see lots of drones doing deliveries in 5 years.

Deeply respect SAP (and others) for doing that. Hopefully this will catch up in other regions as well.

A funny anecdote on the topic. When I worked in WinFS team, folks tried to add new flags in CreateFile API. Turns out, all 32 bits in dwFlagsAndAttributes were already taken, including the hidden usages inside the Win32 subsystem implementation.

Define "free service". It might be free as a beer, but definitely not free as in speech.

"Having met a lot of Apple employees, I can’t say the same is true on the other side. They seem overly obsessed with Google, and are insanely sensitive should you bring the topic up, or deity of choice forbid, you actually develop on a Google platform."

It used to be exactly like that in Microsoft around 2010. Microsofties were extremely sensitive about non-WP devices other employees used. Hopefully things have changed there since then.

So unsurprising.

But no one holds you at that job though, right?

According to his Linkedin page, he's a founder at http://www.applied-duality.com/.

Her is great video from Google tech Talk starring Linus Torvalds (about Git): http://youtu.be/4XpnKHJAok8. Note - Linus uses some strong language.

imagine all that money they spent on lawsuits to be spent on research and charity?

Agree. what a ridiculous article.

Yes, but this doesn't explain 4-5 hours data access latency.

I personally use them a lot. For example, I share immediate family-related photos and posts with the Family circle, general family stuff with the Extended Family, some stuff with Friends, some with Colleagues. It's useful and powerful feature, but requires skills similar to the email Inbox organization which some people seem to find too hard.

AFAIK the real names policy is largely not in effect anymore, contrary to Facebook?

I'm surprised folks are down voting my comment. See http://rt.com/usa/f35-jet-software-delay-233/ for example. And as the one who programmed in C++ for 20 years I think I know what I'm talking about.

No wonder this thing doesn't fly (as expected). In all seriousness, perhaps the choice of the language has affected the software release dates?
