Tailoring language translations for software documentation and GUIs can make or break an open source project. Localizing language is a unique undertaking, with a number of moving parts. Developers often have to choose between tight development cycles or less harried ones that might let competitors advance first. The process of translating language in releases for different target markets presents costly cultural and language translation barriers that often are beyond the financial abilities of the open source community.

Facebook recently made it even simpler to pry into your friends' private affairs on the social network. Specifically, the Ask button -- which already has been available to those seeking more information about many other aspects of a given user's life -- now is an option when it comes to a user's relationship status as well. "This feature provides an easy way for friends to ask you for information that's not already on your profile," said MoMo Zhou, a Facebook spokesperson. "For example, a friend could ask where you work or for your hometown."

Microsoft has unveiled its latest iteration of the Surface tablet at a New York City event. The Surface Pro 3 is slightly larger, with a screen size of 12 inches diagonally, instead of the 10.6 inches of previous models. It is also thinner, at 0.36 inches, and weighs a mere two pounds. The Surface Pro 3 will sport such business-essential software as Photoshop, which has been adapted to be compatible with the device's hardware. Its chief selling point, though, is the Surface Pro 3's ability to serve as both a laptop and a tablet, Microsoft said.

Another digital currency was brought to its knees last week when the administrators of Doge Vault had to suspend operations after they discovered their online wallet service had been attacked by hackers. Following an investigation of the incident and the reconstruction of some of their damaged information from a backup, the administrators contacted users. "After salvaging our wallet, we have ascertained that around 280 million Dogecoins were taken in the attack, out of a total balance of 400 million kept in our hot wallet," they said.

Anonymous Philippines, the Philippines branch of the hacktivist collective Anonymous, defaced more than 200 Chinese websites over a territorial dispute between the two countries. The group announced the move on its Facebook page, offering a detailed list of all websites it had infiltrated. The hacking spree stems from the dustup over Scarborough Shoal, also known as "Huangyan Island," which sits between the China and the Philippines in the South China Sea. The dispute has been going since 2012, but has intensified of late.

Last week, I observed repercussions from one of the most arrogant moves I've ever seen an executive make. A small uproar occurred when Google's CTO learned there were fewer people than he'd expected at an event he'd volunteered to speak at. As he stormed out, he uttered the immortal words, "I Am Google," to the event organizer -- whom he apparently thought was a booth babe, which in itself is troubling. The incident prompted a massive Twitter firestorm with #IAMGOOGLE going viral, and his name is now synonymous with "jerk."
