From 1998 to 2000 I worked at a startup where the IT staff all obsessively played Age of Empires. There were two ways of playing - RM (random map, regular match) which most people played and DM (death match) which is what we usually played

The main thing I advertise is my Android apps. When I advertise on places like Google or Twitter, I can target only people using an Android device. I can then further fine tune it to people who are searching for certain words (Google) or

I have been using it for about an hour on my x64 desktop. I was using Ubuntu 12.04 beforehand. The 12.04 is still on one of my disk partitions. Canonical is apparently going more in the way of pre-installed crapware. There was an Amazon

Same problem for me. I put up a small web app that used their API. The only thing it did on my side was grab the Facebook user ID of the person. It broke, then broke again, and then again. Eventually I gave up and ripped the Facebook co

I placed the order online, but I was told about the fund holding over the phone when I called support. One advantage they had over me was they had put me two weeks behind schedule so I was running around dealing with that instead of dealin

I think "The Lean Startup" is a good book - it presents a model for creating a successful business which diverges from older more traditional business thinking. Some successful technology companies feel the same way. I also think books li

I agree. I heard Donald Knuth endorse in an interview the notion of Thomas Huxley that one should "try to learn something about everything and everything about something".

The value of BTC is in the currency itself. How much is a three year old's scrawled drawing with the note "I love you Grandma" worth? To most people it is worthless, but to the recipient it has worth. Its utility and use value to the reci

I have a System76 laptop. I agree with DSR on all points. Turnaround is not as fast as, say, HP. They have a range of 4 basic laptops, each of which is configurable. I was more concerned with power than weight so I got the second most po

Android is architected to allow for "deeply intrusive" modifications to the standard Android homescreen. Manufacturers have already done this, as have independent developers like Go Launcher. As an Android developer, I am happy that I am n

"It's a bad idea to turn a currency into a commodity" But a currency is already a commodity. Many commodities have been used as currency through history - wheat, rice, cows etc. Precious metals like gold became popular as currencies becau

Net Applications clearly marks this as desktop data, but TNW obscures this. With desktops, laptops, netbooks and tablets being so fluid nowadays, TNW should at least mention somewhere that this is desktop only market share. Wikipedia, the

Be aware that Android (and I believe iOS) does not use OpenGL. It uses a subset of OpenGL called OpenGL ES. OpenGL ES does not handle OpenGL begin and end commands. You can not directly specify rectangles on OpenGL ES like you can on Open

eCPM is a metric I look at, but fill rate is also important. When I use second tier mobile ad services, the eCPM is often competitive, but my fill rate can drop from 99% on a big service to <10%. So over 90% of my ad requests go unfil

I agree they do not have the personnel to put out a major software component like this themselves. Just go to Launchpad and read the bug reports for their forks. Here is a typical nux bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/84644
