    What technological news did you find exciting or interesting in 2014? What developments would you like to see in 2015? I found the news relating to the .NET Framework moving to open-source really interesting. I'm expecting to see a closer partnership between Xamarin and Microsoft in 2015 and wouldn't be at all surprised if Microsoft acquired Xamarin.

    2014 -> exoskeletons, pretty cool stuff | Landing of Philae | Security breaches en masse | Yotaphone 2 2015 -> Occulus Rift gentlemans websites support with exoskeleton support.... 2015 -> Currently i don't know anything else than VR, VR, VR and VR :)

    if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

        Windows Azure Machine Learning studio[^] - built some really powerful data anomaly detection stuff in a couple of days that I don't think I could have done at all before it.

          It all sucked! Until someone perfects the Shark-Mounted-Laser, technology can go take a long walk off a short pier.

            I have to agree with Nagy that most of is sucked, but my vote falls on CP making the [selected] text highlight orange. That was rather nifty!

              Angular. It was the first pick for me this year.

                I'm still not sure about Angular. I've read around it and had a play with it, but can't fathom where or why I would use it. Maybe you can help with that?

                    Well I can't teach you angular here over the lounge. But it has provided 3 fundamentals to web developer we were desperately looking for: Automated Data Binding, Declarative Syntax for controls/tags and loosely coupled architecture. In addition to that, it has many more awesome features. Jump in to youtube and watch some Angular related videos to rejuvenate yourself.

                      I wasn't looking for a tutorial on Angular as there are already plenty of them on here. I just can't see why or where I would use it.

                        I heard somebody developed a pair of glasses that go opaque whenever you read somebody talking about how we 'may all be living in a computer simulation'. Next year I want them to introduce the same thing for loonies suggesting 'we may all be living in a hologram'(cos, you know, holograms are really cool and stuff). :doh:

                          I mean, one minute Judy Garland taps her red shoes together, next Hiroshima. Maybe if more people 'believed' we'd all be speaking Japanese and German at home.

                            :sigh: Come back to me when they've finally perfected a device for peeling, topping and tailing, and chopping an onion! Another wave of must have silicon chippery really isn't what the world needs! Bah, and if I may say so, humbug!

                                  2-in-1 laptops with a full 1920 x 1080 display and touchscreen. It took sooooo loooong to get 1920 x 1080 on laptops. (Well, on windows ones at least)
