Even if there waz 100 million + imperative Masters grade programmers, a small declarative based team using top Microsoft tools could wipe the floor with them all and put that social union into a sustained Hyper V partition for beer training, Im sure apple would give up their $150+Mill 90's sub from Microsoft to comply and compete at a soverign software level ;)

Submission + - Playstation 4 Fans Petition Microsoft to Restore Xbox DRM

An anonymous reader writes: After Microsoft rescinded the DRM policies for the upcoming Xbox One console it had announced earlier at E3, you'd think gamers would be at least mollified, if not ecstatic. But some apparently thought that Microsoft had gotten it right the first time, such as the ability to share a game with up to 10 friends, and so a petition to 'Give us back the Xbox One we were promised at E3' was launched on change.org. The petition was quickly co-opted by Playstation 4 fans (assuming that the original author was playing straight, and maybe he wasn't) seizing an opportunity to haze Microsoft and the Xbox. As of today the petition has 17,500 signees, many accompanied by open forum satire posts reminiscent of the surge in attention given to humble looseleaf binders following an October Presidential debate.

Submission + - Mozilla Launches Firefox OS Simulator 4.0 With Test Receipts

An anonymous reader writes: As promised, Mozilla today announced the release of Firefox OS Simulator 4.0 with a focus on developers who want to make money in the Firefox Marketplace. You can download the new version now for Windows, Mac, and Linux from Mozilla Add-Ons. First and foremost, the new simulator supports test receipts for paid apps: each app’s dashboard features a drop-down menu where you can select a receipt type. Choosing one of these will have the simulator add-on downloading a test receipt from a Marketplace receipt service and reinstalling the app using it. This lets developers test receipt verification with whatever receipts types they may require (valid, invalid, and refunded).

Submission + - Chrome 28 Hits Android With Built-In Google Translate

An anonymous reader writes: Just a day after releasing Chrome 28 on the desktop, Google announced the release of Chrome 28 for Android, adding Google Translate support out-of-the-box and fullscreen support on tablets. You can download the latest version now directly from Google Play. For those that use Chrome on the desktop, this is the same built-in translation bar you’re already used to for quickly skimming a Web page you otherwise wouldn’t be able to understand. Now you can use it while you’re on the go as well.
