Amazon Attracts Developer-cum-Entrepeneurs
The move is still a step behind Box's $rev programme (which financially rewards app developers subject to how much time their users spend on them) but at least Amazon is heading in the right direction. Application developers can exploit a new revenue stream by using Amazon's Mobile Associates API for Android-based devices to sell physical and digital goods from the Amazon store directl ...Read more
Browser-based Development in the Cloud
Companies are packing up their clumsy desktop software, putting their local networking in the virtual attic and investing in new and improved browser-base solutions.

Future of the Linux Monopoly
A recent bug report on the Ubuntu Launchpad website has been playfully entitled "Microsoft has a majority market share" and subsequently yielded entertaining yet somewhat controversial fix: Ubuntu. The statement (posted by Mark Shuttleworth – Founder of Ubuntu) demonstrates how far Linus Torvald's OS has come since its inception in 1991. While Microsoft remains the OS of c ...Read more
Microsoft's Mobile App Misfire
Microsoft's new OWA (Outlook Web App) for iPhone and iPad has once again demonstrated the company's inability to grasp the concept of mobile technology. For starters, the Outlook Web Access email client only works with Office 365 email accounts, which means users need a business-level Office 365 subscription. Another frustration is that the app's capabilities are painfully limite ...Read more

Spot the Difference – Maven 3.1.0
The latest incarnation of Maven from Apache was announced on 13th July 2013 and, much to the despair of Maven developers clinging to the software in the face of arguably more versatile tools like Gradle or Hibernate, had very little to say in the official release notes. With the arrival of viable Maven alternatives like Gant, Grade or Raven, and the wide array of tools that integrate with them, l ...Read more
The Now and Then of Java Professionals on POJO
Java developers who have been around for a long time will perhaps remember the post-2000 POJO (Plain-Old-Java-Object) debate, i.e. whether or not a POJO persistence mechanism called JDO (Java Data Object) was a viable solution. The JSR was driven by Craig Russel and its appeal lay in the fact that it dealt with persistent object lifecycle management orthogonally to the underlying data storage tech ...Read more
Remembering Abstractions In Code
Non-techies can be forgiven for assuming that all software developers do all day is write code, but for departments that communicate with IT branches and IT professionals it helps to to understand abstraction – and the huge role it plays in development.

Summer of Oracle and SalesForce Love
As CEOs, Marc Benioff and Larry Ellison represent Salesforce.com and Oracle respectively – two of the most powerful technology companies in the world.

The Continuous Refactoring Fear
On paper, continuous refactoring is a sound investment for the ongoing health of a codebase. But a large number of developers still harbour an in-built fear of the technology, looking upon the lack of automated regression tests with genuine distress (this is why it's important to perform all necessary tests prior to pursuing refactoring). Here are just some of the benefits that junior and se ...Read more
Common Library – Curse or Blessing?
In companies where multiple teams are building related projects it is not uncommon for duplicate code to be written. At its essence, a common code library is a brilliant time saver, allowing these teams to pool together and reuse one another's code as and when required. Best of all, the effect is cumulative. After a couple years of adding to the code database the common library can be useful ...Read more

Starting with the IETF standard SPDY protocol (developed by engineers at Google to speed up the delivery of w ...Read more
Unlocking the Power of Data Virtualisation
Data virtualisation has earned itself an unfair reputation, one that brings to mind savvy marketers who seek new ways of integrating, manipulating and presenting data only to end up with indecipherable but brightly coloured charts (i.e. style over substance). What it is meant to be is a valuable common data access point for users, one that brings together disparate systems whether they be database ...Read more

Though gamers might argue otherwise, the loss of a couple achievements or save states pale ...Read more
Merits of Modern ITAM
Traditionally, IT Asset Management (ITAM) seldom lives up to its potential. Every day thousands of companies dream of having a centralised system to store all their data and provide features that support IT assets throughout their lifecycles. But ITAM disappoints not because it lacks features – most solutions have more of these than the company can actually deploy – but because its suc ...Read more
Your Business – Agile Or Waterfall?
From initial design to final QA and marketing, anyone involved with any aspects of software development will have heard of Agile or Waterfall, or been part of them without realising it. Like any other software dilemma, the decision is not clear cut. Agile and Waterfall each have their own exponents who tout the advantage of their process solution. While there may be a plethora of software developm ...Read more

Why SOA Developers Demand APIs
The application programming Interface (API) of today is no longer the simple software component interface introduced by Salesforce and eBay back in 2000. The latter company's use of APIs to enable mass-upload listings brought the technology firmly into the eyes of the public but still only gave a glimpse at the protocol's true potential. Today, enterprises, users and developers all re ...Read more
Construction as an Analogy for Software Development
Coding language is to developers what wood and brick is to construction workers; raw materials in themselves valueless that require the skill of an expert to become something useful and applicable to everyday life. This comparison can be taken further. Tradesmen in both construction and software development are only as good as the tools they work with. If a labourer chooses cheap or unsuitable ma ...Read more
Core Subjects: English, Maths, Science and Computing?
Nobody can argue against the importance of learning the intricacies of the English language. It teaches us to effectively articulate our ideas, opinions, needs and wants.

Web Content Management: SharePoint, Sitecore, Umbraco…
Every serious business needs a website and there are two ways of going about this. The first is by creating passive internet presence, where the website is little more than a virtual placeholder and source of information for customers.

WWW's Conception and its Lesson on Adoption
Today's CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), is best known for its most recent work in chasing the Higgs-Boson particle.

Xamarin Negotiates Mobile App Development in C#
When it comes to developing native mobile apps, Java and Objective-C are your only real choices. The biggest difference between the two languages is largely conceptual, Objective-C is dynamically typed and, rather than calling methods, sends messages and waits for a response (Objective-C does not care about object type). Java calls for types and includes a garbage collector, a mechanism that rec ...Read more

IRVING — Though quarterback Tony Romo is progressing well in his rehab from back surgery, the Dallas Cowboys are looking for another quarterback or two to throw passes in the off-season program and minicamps.Veteran backup Kyle Orton is the only other quarterback on the roster.The Cowboys worked out former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mike Kafka, multiple sources confirmed.Kafka, a former fourth-round pick of the Eagles in 2010, was given "a look-see" by the Cowboys along with former Arena League receivers Braylon Bell and Maurice Williams.Kafka hasn't played in the NFL since he was released by the Eagles before the 2012 season. He spent time in camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013 but was released before the season. Kafka didn't play as a rookie and played in four games with the Eagles in 2011.Bell played at Abilene Christian in college but is a Dallas native out of South Oak Cliff High School.Williams played as a freshman at Pittsburgh before being ruled academically ineligible. He bounced around the semi-pro and Arena leagues the past four years before being signed by the Indianapolis Colts last summer. He was released and given an injury settlement at the end of August. — Clarence E. Hill Jr.Vikings seat licensesFifty yard-line season tickets in the lower section of the new Minnesota Vikings stadium come with an upfront license fee of $4,500 to $9,500 while a seat in the nosebleeds will set loyal fans back a $500 fee.The release of the pricing structure for the personal seat licenses, which the team is calling stadium builder's licenses, coincides with a ramp-up in marketing for seats in the under-construction stadium set to open in 2016. Current season ticket holders have first rights to buy into the new building, with sales to them happening in waves over the next nine months. Those one-time charges are on top of the annual price of buying a ticket, which will go for $50 to $400 apiece per game.Three-quarters of the stadium's 65,000 seats will have a license fee attached. Vikings ownership is using seat license proceeds to cover one-fifth of the $500 million private share for the $1 billion stadium.Briefly• Chiefs: Veteran defensive back Dunta Robinson, who never lived up to expectations last season, was released and Canadian Football League wide receiver Weston Dressler was signed.• Lions: Center Dominic Raiola re-signed to a one-year deal, his 14th season with Detroit.• Vikings: Linebacker Erin Henderson, who was recently arrested twice on suspicion of drunken driving, was released.

I am sad and angry because I should have been in the pictures.
SWAT - very gently - this is the sadness talking. You were scheduled to be in DC, as you are. Your WW was then added to the trip.
So, originally, you would not have been in the pictures either way, and you would have been happy that your kids were having a good time. I hope you're able to do that now.
The second plan had this entire day happening at some other point in time as your wife was supposed to be in DC with you. That means there would be no pics at all.
I completely get that sadness. The nostalgia of what 'could have been', but please don't start beating yourself up now. Remember, before she decided OM was worth risking it all, you would be just where you are. This event didn't steal that moment from you.
Yes, there will be others, but please don't let these pictures ruin your frame of mind during your trip. That's all I'm saying.
EDIT: Thank you for the Happy Mother's Day wishes!!!
[This message edited by painfulpast at 10:03 AM, May 11th (Sunday)]
Know you have support through this tangled web that you live in. It is normal to feel all the emotions you are feeling.
In regards to you comment about supporting others....you would be surprised what a comment here and there does also. I found I could be more supportive after I had done some healing. You will be able to pass that support on...don't underestimate yourself!
Have a safe trip home.
While today should be a day I'm celebrating with my family and I am not. I am surprisingly ok. I'm not exactly happy but I'm ok. I'm going to relax, drink some beer(in moderation of course) and take in the sights of the Capitol and honor my fallen brothers and sisters. I am a fighter and I believe an honorable man and I will be ok. Right now I feel divorce is my only option but you all have BTDT and know I could change my mind tommorrow. But I am sure no matter what happens I will be ok and that is due to you all.
While not practical. Could've, should've and would've are words I don't ever want to hear again.
It is great you are able to be with other officers there and in a sense talk shop to help you through this tough day.
I was not going to bring this up, it might be completely irrelevant at this time. Someone in a post said
WW? She went to a bar to have drinks with him
Also, did you see her laughing or anything like that?
Those are the things I would have looked for and they would have stuck in my mind.
My wife took the affair underground for a while until one day I caught her using one of the courtesy phones in a grocery store talking..obviously to the OM. The worst part was I saw her laughing.
That was when I had had enough of it all.
Here is a trend that I've seen before and I think it's happening here. Some posters believe that the WS "gets it," and therefore they want to give the WS benefit of the doubt.
Swat's WS has read his threads here. That gave her the opportunity to tailor her actions to everything g she has read here. She can give the APPEARANCE of a remorseful spouse without actually being a remorseful spouse. All of this allows her to continue her deception and betrayal. Swat would have never known she met her OM had he not come home. This is , unfortunately, a straight forward incident. Swat can listen to what she has to say but it changes nothing. Once again, she has chosen the OM over her husband
But SWAT I do just want to say take your time. I am now D from the Dooosh, and am living a fulfilling authentic life. I tried to make it work, but after 2 false Rs, lots of lying and his complete disregard for me or my children I was done.
No one IRL or on SI could tell me my path. I had to discover it on my own, as you will too. Please try to enjoy your little mental break. You will make it through.
Meeting a group of NYPD bagpipers for lunch. I'll check in a little later.
p.s. my DS18 wants to be in law enforcement. I am so sad for the couple who lost their grandson in the LOD.
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
I've never responded to your threads previously, but like many others, have closely followed your posts. I think it's because you have a sincere, genuine way of expressing yourself that touches many of us. I imagine you are a terrific police officer.
I think that the best thing for you is to take care of yourself right now, as you are doing. You are doing the right thing by ignoring her communications. This is NOT an emergency, and it can wait. You will make much better decisions for yourself in the long run if you don't worry about anything for now. You have been in a state of shock for a long time now, since DDay, and you really need a break. Shelve it all, and when you feel bad, turn to us for a dose of support.
And...it's a fantastic day in DC (where I live); I'm glad you're enjoying it. Even if you've already seen the monuments, please consider seeing them again, when they're lit up at night - simply magical. It makes you realize all of the amazing people and events that occurred long before we ever graced this planet.
t/j: Sister, Men In Kilts sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
All joking aside SWAT can you confirm your wife is reading your posts here?
As you move further down this path, you will pay everyone here back by helping new members with your wisdom and hard lessons learned.
Hmmm.......men in skirts and beer.
Dangerous combination.
Bigger. I'm quite sure WW is reading my posts. She knows I'm in DC right now. I'm actually ok win her reading them. I have nothing to hide and she can read everything on here I don't really care anymore. She choose to lie to me. Everyone is right it's the lies that ruin everything. I could almost deal with the sex part. It's the lying that hurts the most now. Her tears and promises mean nothing because she can not be honest.
I did text her a short time ago. "Happy Mother's Day. I hope the kids behaved themselves and you liked their gifts. I wanted you to know I'm fine and DC is really kind of cool."
"Just so you know. I'm done being lied too and manipulated. You got the chance you said that you wanted and you know what happened. I'll be home in a few days so please stop texting me. I'm not going to answer your texts. I can't trust you anymore so when I get home I'll be looking for a place of my own. If you ever cared for me at all, please stop sending me messages. I need to be alone for a while and your constant
messaging doesn't help. You can have BIL or your parents contact me in an emergency. Any other questions you have can go through my attorney."
ETA - I know you said she is blocked and can still email but if she has the new number, I wouldn't put it past her to start calling from a number other than her own.

Sorry this has happened to you, again. The only way through it is through it, as my drill sergeants would say. But you'll make it.
No I used my old phone. WW doesn't have the new number.
Good for you setting boundaries. Keep them strong.

Windows 8 from every angle: A guided tour of the Release Preview
Summary: What can you expect from the Windows 8 Release Preview? The real surprises aren't on the desktop but in the new Metro style apps.

Predefined categories in the News app let you filter the news: Entertainment, Politics, or (as shown here) Technology, where ZDNet is one of the preferred sources.
With a swipe from the top or a quick right-click, you can expose this set of options. (True to Metro form, they're hidden until you specifically ask for them.)
Click My News to begin setting up your own personalized topics that go well beyond the off-the-rack categories.

There are a myriad of choices available to the average traveler when four-wheeled transportation is required. But to the discerning car connoisseur, the prospect of being trapped within a Caliber, Impala or other nondescript people mover is as unconscionable as choosing Denny's over Per Se.
Enter rentexoticcars.net, a website whose sole purpose is to provide the automotive world's most elite rides, for a price. Surprisingly, the cost of such exotica may be within reach to those of you who can afford the rental fees, insurance and have a sizeable chunk of change available on your credit card to cover the security deposit.
The website allows users to select their destination city and then lists what high end machines are available for rent. The choices span the range from Mini Cooper drop-tops to Hummer H2s to Ferrari 360 Spyders. Whatever the taste, they have the flavor.
The interface is easy to work, provides hours of day dreaming entertainment and, our favorite feature, has an RSS feed of anything dealing with supercars from yours truly, Autoblog.
Enjoy, but make it a point to keep you credit card out of reach, preferably in the next time zone.

Microsoft's ALREADY telling of bugs in Fondle-Office for iPad
Microsoft has pointed out that the newly released Office for iPad won't immediately work for users of its SharePoint 2010 collaboration suite. As explained in two blog posts, one covering Excel documents and the other addressing PowerPoint files, the problem is that SharePoint 2010 "requires a plugin or active X to launch client …
I'm sorry, buf if your company needs that...
... you are in _serious_ trouble. Apparently you have stored all your data in non machine readable (office) formats.
I'm also shocked to hear that a product from 2010 _still_ requires ActiveX or plugins.
Re: I'm sorry, buf if your company needs that...
Yup. Your right, how dare a product from 4 years ago require a technology widely in (corporate) use from 4 years ago.
Now if you said a NEW version needed it, I would side with you.
Re: I'm sorry, buf if your company needs that...
Since plugins serve a genuine use-case, it's not at all surprising some web-based projects need them. Typically, web-pages requiring plugins are a sign of something that perhaps shouldn't be a website in the first place, but there ARE legitimate uses.
SharePoint stampede to Office-on-iOS?
There's already been a stampede to Office-on-iOS in the space of twenty-four-hours. How can you tell, what are the download figures, what are the sales figures ..
Nothing new here then, move along inside...
Microsoft release a product that is clearly unfinished and bug ridden... Now there's a surprise.
If Microsoft made cars they would have been sued out of existence before Windows 95 saw the light of day.
Ok so all software contains bugs but for these problems to come to light so soon after the launch is really crap. Seems (IMHO) to indicate another case of the marketing people getting their way over the more cautious engineers.
Never mind the quality, feel the width!
Re: Nothing new here then, move along inside...
So me a product that doesn't have a known bug list and I'll show you one that is a) either very basic or b) not very well tested.
Re: Nothing new here then, move along inside...
Don't be silly. Linux was released in final 1.0 form and then never ever needed any changes.
Re: Nothing new here then, move along inside...
"Linux was released in final 1.0 form and then never ever needed any changes."
How come I'm using 3.11.10-7 then ?
'SharePoint stampede to Office-on-iOS'
I raise pint to you for making me literally laugh out loud whilst reading this....
... barely works on the desktop, what chance on iThings?
In fact, if you want to hide information from the NSA etc, don't bother encrypting it, just store it in Sharepoint - they'll never find it (nor will you, mind...)
Re: Sharepoint
And for some reason we still reading in news that Apple nor MS is doomed, seems is a good time for being a doomed company.
Cunning Plan: Destroy the iPad's success by inflicting it with Microsoft Update!
I get it - so Microsoft have decided the only way to destroy the success of the iPad is to install the trojan horse called Microsoft Update. Inflict long hours of boredom on iPad users, while they are forced to wait for 72/83 updates to install, reboot, and then tell us its nearly there, almost ready, not long now, and other phrases that have been inherited from the Windows 8.1 Update. Clever MS! New management is working obviously.
Just curious, but how large is the install? MS is notorious for huge programs, bloated updates and slow performance over time. I wonder how this will effect an IPad.
I've not checked App sizes in the Apple App Store myself, but I've read they're in the 200MB range for each (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).
About 200mb each, which sounds large until you see that Simpsons Tapped Out takes up over 700mb on my iPad, and 'Weather+' app takes up 350mb.
As huge as you think it is.
Word: 457MB
Excel: 433MB
PowerPoint: 419MB
OneNote: 406MB
Honestly, tho, I've seen bigger. Way bigger (Toontastic and The Oregon Trail were gigabyte-sized offenders that I had on the fondleslab before jetsamming them in favor of more storage).
That said, it even had problems authenticating with my Office 365 account (only have it because I need it for work). Turns out that I had to pass on activating it on first run, then only use the activate button after setting it up for trial mode.
Oh joy!!
Now Office is available on iPants. Just bloody marvellous!! Office on a toy....look out PS Vita....Microsoft has you in it's sights.
Re: Oh joy!!
It's because the toy is popular, not because it is fit-for-purpose.
Obviously, if you add a keyboard and a mouse it gets closer to usable for laptop-type things.
This Office is supposed to make it usable without either. Perhaps it does, to a larger extent than the previous offerings anyway - Surface Office is properly usable only with keyboard/mouse, which happily come easily with the touch cover.
But, it is entirely possible to view and make (small) edits even just using my phone, any Office is better than no Office. Obviously other viewers must be able to do this because people send Word docs and Excel SSs all over the place but I feel happier sending the document on knowing it is not broken in some way.
It may be a "toy" but iOS is also the Enterprise phone and tablet of choice.
So they had to write code for a single device, (ok, maybe 2 versions) - all of which are in the "walled garden" and share the same code, and they still havent got it right?! Jeez.
I don't think they share the same code. Office mobile was better written and only consumes a comparatively paltry 96.3MB according to my fondleslab. On the other hand, Office Mobile doesn't do PowerPoint and OneNote.
For comparison, each one of the iPad Office app in itsef (they're separate apps, compared to the iPhone offering which is a one-app suite) is over 400MB in size.
Reverse it.....
A piece of coporate, Windows centric software will not run an a fashion accessory.
You get what should expect. OK, so maybe it should not require ActiveX but it was never designed to run on that type of device. Don't bellyache that Microsoft is at fault when a consumer product does not work in the enterprise.

Summer leather is one of those oxymoronic sartorial combinations that really shouldn't work. But that hasn't stopped several stars trying out the look in several incarnations. Firstly we had a post-Cruise Katie Holmes wearing a heavy leather jacket in 100°F heat…reading a full 8/10 on the swelt-ometer. Then last week saw Alexa Chung rocking a leather skirt at a Louis Vuitton event in Shanghai – where the temperature hit 35°C and humidity topped 84%...a definite 9/10.
Katie Holmes, Alexa Chung
Trumping both of these toasty appearances was the sight of Australian model Jessica Gomes who was snapped over the weekend wearing leather shorts ON THE BEACH – a full 10/10 sweat on.
Jessica Gomes
So should you, or shouldn't you? Our advice is to gauge the time you will be in the direct heat and take it from there. In the UK with air-con offices and (ahem) changeable weather, summer leather isn't the most ridiculous idea. A leather short or mini for example offers more rain protection than silk but allows you to bare your legs with gusto. A leather jacket in the heat of the day/tube is a definite no-no, but when worn shrug-style over the shoulder can offer a rock 'n' roll touch to balmy summer evening outfits. However if you are looking for a line in the sand, take note – leather trousers (yes, even white ones) on a sweat-tacular day is never going to be a good look. Aside from the Ross from Friends discomfort, you'll share a style penchant with such summer leather pant lovers as Ricky Martin, Michael Schumacher and David Hasselhoff. Hot, but not hot.
