Quick closing of #Readability by end of sept. They didn't have a viable business model. Just a free app for 5 years. http://thenextweb.com/apps/2016/09/01/readability-is-shutting-down-its-read-later-service-this-month/#gref
Better bandwidth with optical fibre and 4G. Smaller files with new lossless compression and av codecs. Life is good. https://lyncd.com/2015/09/lossless-compression-innovation/
Thanks #Facebook for open sourcing #Zstandard lossless compression algorithm. Joining #Apple, #Google and others. https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/31/facebook-open-sources-zstandard-compression-algorithm-and-myrocks-storage-engine/?ncid=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29&sr_share=twitter
Big #layoffs at tech giants: #Microsoft 18k, #HP 33k, #Intel 12k now #Cisco 14k. Don't think #FAANG can create enough jobs. More startups?
#Cisco to cut 14000 staff, about 20% and shift towards software. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-cisco-systems-layoffs-idUSKCN10S05D
Start saying goodbye to #Flash content. #Adobe bought #Macromedia for $3.4bn 11 yrs ago. #Apple helped to kill it. https://chrome.googleblog.com/2016/08/flash-and-chrome.html
Anyone considering buying 12.9 inch #iPadPro should be aware that #MicrosoftOffice is not free. Free for 9.7 inch iPad Pro.
@jockbu smh? what's the name of that teacher? kingston?
Every now and then, we ask this again. Is #RISC or #CISC winning? Trivia: #ARM - Advanced RISC Machines, originally Acorn RISC Machines.
When will #Adobe be brave enough to just discontinue #Flash. When you think of Flash, not cool or fun animations, but unwanted malware!

The new #SkypeMeetings is cool. Nice to see how it ties in with #Office365. Maybe they can even do online seminars with #LinkedIn soon.
#WWDC2016 is the first year #Apple do video subtitles in 4 languages, English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. Helping over half of 13m devs.
#Java is on 8th major version after 21 years. #Swift is trying to have major release each year. That's how fast #Apple is pushing ahead.
#Apple is pushing ahead with #Swift, releasing preview 3.0 ahead of #WWDC. Starting a trend on updating programming language each year?
Don't write off #Oracle just yet. They're as persistent as ever and have a good record on getting what they want. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36394558
#SAP is so out of touch. After totally missing mobile and cloud wave, they are trying to make "Digital" cool again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6GfbsAuVGc
#QuickOffice was a great mobile office suite, can be used offline and compatible with many formats. #Google bought and killed it. #donoevil
#Microsoft might be slow and late to move #Office to the cloud, but nobody took advantage and Office is still the best productivity suite.
I love my #Win7 setup and glad to have found this app today! #Never10 https://www.grc.com/never10.htm https://x.com/ptrkhu/status/717119779849551872
Upgraded our office network here in Beijing. 80mbps upload, 170mbps download. #broadband #beijing
#Microsoft needs more than #BashOnWindows support to get developers on board. Make #VisualStudio totally free! http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/ubuntus-bash-and-linux-command-line-coming-to-windows-10/
I also dream of having iMessage, Safari and iBooks for PC and Android. Don't think I will get that from #Apple tomorrow.
#Apple to use Google Cloud Platform to run part of #iCloud. I wonder what kind of discount #Google gave to compete with #Azure & #AWS.
#IBM cutting a third of its US workshop? Is it really moving to a cloud model? Watch out #AWS and #Rackspace, IBM can do a smarter cloud.
#Apple can also extend #iCloud with #Kitura, offering server or cloud layer development with Xcode and Swift. Will #Android be next?
#IBM is helping to drive #Swift into enterprise market, imagine what #iOS app developers can do with #Kitura! https://developer.ibm.com/swift/
@cyriltrosset hi there.playing with your iBeacon-indoor-localization code on github, seems to be missing some key files, can you help?
Of course, #Microsoft didn't say how long you can keep the #OneDrive quota for. So, until next time... https://preview.onedrive.com/bonus/
Thank you #Microsoft for listening! To keep your existing 30GB quota, make sure you sign up before end of Jan 2016! https://preview.onedrive.com/bonus/
