True, they are definitely very different mediums. However, no one says a video game to movie adaptation has to duplicate exactly the experience of playing the game. Many games have incredibly deep mythology, stories, and characters all of w

You could argue the Resident Evil movies are successful. They've made 5 of them, and most of them have made a ton of money worldwide... Honestly though, I think video game movies right now are like Comic Book movies were 20 years ago. Back

Absolutely, that's exactly what I was thinking as well. My guess would be in most cases it would have very little to do with the actual merits of one platform over another and more to do with the trend being set by someone or something in t

That's funny, in my experience it's quite the opposite. Most of the people I know and work with who were big and early fans of the iphone have since moved on to Android devices. It's amazing how much something like the circle of influence a

Wow, terrible precedent being set here. Now any France based startup that wants to take on Google with their own media linking service will be overwhelmed by fees before they can even get up and running. I really wish Google hadn't caved to

As a non-American, I've always wondered why online gambling is banned in the US. Is it simply because the casinos and other non-online sources were able to lobby to make it that way?

I've seen a lot of job listings, at very large companies and academics for the 45-50 range. Keep in mind, these are jobs requiring a PHD, 10 years of experience, and a dozen or so technologies. It's not really the money that's skewed, it's

I'm not an outsider and the 30K was a bit of an exaggeration, and I apologize for that. The point I was trying to make was that if you look in as an outsider, you would see the requirements being extremely daunting compared to what you mig

If you really want to get a feel for how deluted the Bioinformatics community is, look for a job in the field as an outsider. It's not uncommon to see requirements like: "Must be an expert in 18 technologies" "Must have a PHD in Computer Sc

Nice looking site! I couldn't really tell though, but what are the options for people to signup for the giveaways? I've run some before where you give entries away for commenting, social sharing, tweeting, etc. Does this accomplish somethin

It's pretty cheap, I thought. It sucks if you have a ton of domains, but transferring over also renews the domain for an additional year, so the transfer itself really costs basically nothing. I just transfer whenever it's coming close to t

I dunno, if it's a small group or not that gets headaches from the 3D but I definitely do. The HFR completely eliminated that though. I hope they keep it up (as long as they keep trying to do 3D that is) for purely selfish reasons :)

Yeah it is, I meant it more like they could have been connecting a dozen different ways, but they choose to wait for meetings instead, which ultimately accomplished very little.

Interesting article. One of the biggest benefits I noticed, when I first started doing contract work remotely, was that I absolutely did not miss meetings. Previously, I had been working for a fairly large corporation and I switched to cont

Agreed, I did say "as it stands today." Sites would adapt to the new reality and those who didn't would get buried. I do think though that people who adblock now do so cause it's relatively fringe and they feel like they are a drop in the b

I know this is a bit off topic, but I find Ad-Blocking to be an interesting problem. On the one hand, it's a person's choice and anyone blocking ads was likely not to click on them anyway. At the same time though, it's clear that if Ad-Bloc

Nice to see, the more choices the better. I think it will be really interesting this year to see if the Steam console actually manifests itself and when/if it does, will it get any real traction? I hope it does because the more competition
