I don't seen the downside to verifying your account on a new device before being able to use it. If you have access to the appstore then you have access to Gmail and one simple email to say "Yeah, go ahead and let my friend's iPad buy this

"But what exactly does Google need to defend against, if not actual patents Android actually violates?" I may be naive but I simply don't understand the concept of transferring the ownership of a patent. If Google buys a patent related to A

I find it interesting that hackers of all people are so polarized about this article. I wonder if working in an industry with such a high customer turn-over rate where you either make it big or try something else has desensitized us to the

Speed and flexibility perhaps? There are significantly more trucks than there are trains, for one. I imagine there's an incentive to fill a train to capacity whereas you can contract as many trucks as you need for a particular load. Further

I find myself automatically making judgment calls on my own thoughts, especially on G+ where it's easy to make things no longer public. In general, however, I've just posted everything publicly. If I have something controversial to say then

Unless you want to use Google+ or Facebook. Although, maybe we'll see a resurgence of real name pseudonyms. Now I just need to think of a name as cool as Mark Twain...

In my ignorance I see "...an open query langauge for JSON..." and I think "Cool. Now I'll be able to store complex database in plaintext." Am I wrong or just missing the point? I like the idea of SQLite but it would be nice to not have to j

Some how while I respected his attention to detail I never really respected Notch's attention to game design before this. Endermen feel Hitchcockian in nature. I'm genuinely scared of them already o_o

I wonder about the honesty of machine sourced Tweets, not in the machines themselves but in the fact it would be super easy for a human to duplicate the tweets with faulty information. As a personal tool it could be amazingly useful (plants

I'm not speaking of price discrimination at all. That would be Valve releasing a game at full price and then a week later putting it on sale for 25% off. This doesn't qualify as price discrimination because they're games that have been arou

I view it similarly to any other varied hobby. If you like to cook you can either choose to cook American food all the time or you can branch out and try different styles. Although, the difference is that hunger and food are pretty constant

Don't forget you can increase your payment for this bundle if you really enjoy them. Also, I wouldn't write off the next bundle if this one doesn't suit your fancy. In my opinion the games in this bundle are more casual than games in previo

Even given to everyone it could still be beneficial. I personally simply forget there's a /new/ much of the time, having the option to have new posts passively presented while I'm skimming would be tremendously helpful.

"It's better than nothing" Agreed. Introversion managed to stay alive through selling their four games for $5 on Steam. That's ultimately not too much better than the current average bundle sale ( http://forums.introversion.co.uk/introversi

The same can be said for a number of old games as well. GoG's Summer Gems daily sale had a bunch of games that can't possibly compare graphically these days but still surpass modern games in many ways (e.g. Independence War which I would ar

I tried Reader but it's not in my face enough to remember it, instead I use Opera's built-in RSS reader which has notifications (I imagine Chrome + Reader could have notifications like Gmail Chat).

This man is a master of irony. He's discussing the nature of philosophy which is itself philosophical in nature; therefore, he's using philosophy to argue against the usefulness of philosophy. This begs the question: Is he therefore advocat

From this reading Datskovskiy feels like a more radical, less poetic version of Vernor Vinge. When he says "Even if you ... plug all abstraction leaks, the lowest-level concepts on which a system is built will ... limit the heights to which

How so? Or am I underestimating the prevalence of fake IDs such that my name and photo are no longer valid points of verification? This can be more easily battled with a photo on the card itself. Unless of course I would simply underestimat
