· Posted in Software
The Devexpress folks apparently have a little competition once in a while to show that their software kicks ass.

Techradar Needs To Turn On Their Radar

· Posted in Editorial
A few things in a recent techradar post made my eye twitch a bit. Keyboard and mice Obviously they aren't programmers. I have a hard time imagining that in only 10 years, programmers won't be using keyboards. Desktop PC's I like how the third sentence is a admittance that it won't die, and yes it's on the list.
