Leading off today is another security issue, iDigitalTimes reports on malware found pre-installed on Xiaomi, Huawei and Lenovo phones. In the development section, we have several good articles. First, at the Developsense Blog we have a series of posts regarding “Oracles” in testing, with today’s installment being part 4. NCZOnline talks about the size of the web platform and how a person really can’t know everything anymore. Paul Hammant has an interesting post on decorators in the DOM and some history related to Sitemesh.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
