Where are the people in your intern's circle of friends going? I'm honestly curious. The people in my facebook feed are the usual set of people who post. Nothing has seemed to change of late.

That's one of my biggest annoyances with Steam. It takes so long to load. I'm tempted to install another partition of Windows with nothing on it except steam and the drivers necessary for me to play games, to see if it'll make starting s

The last Nintendo title I bought was Metroid: Other M. I've seen the endless parade of Mario Party/Mario Kart games and frankly I'm tired of it. Even Zelda is starting to get old. In my opinion Nintendo seriously needs new IP - they've be

I like this approach - it doesn't break the existing experience of free upgrades. While I can understand where the GP's idea of paid upgrades is coming from, the not-infrequent occurrence of apps going from Paid-->Free + IAP is often en

Isn't this the sort of thing digital signatures are for? Author can sign the text of the book, and publishers can sign the container. I don't know how future-proof this is (and it obviously isn't going to work for something like War and P

I think you only get that with recent blockbuster releases that garner "fanboys" who feel that game X is either the best thing in the universe or a direct insult to their mother, even though they've never played the game. I mean, look at Ma

Sometimes it's the simplest things that are the most effective. It's easy to over-engineer a solution to this problem (let's freeze-dry the application when the user left, or, the user has a pattern of launching this app after that one, let

How do you make wearing a headpiece cool? I wear glasses and imagine some teeny tiny thing embedded in one of the arms. What could 20/20 people do that would be socially acceptable? Maybe a bluetooth headset looking thing?

It seems like there's a balance between the different settings on a camera that can't really be captured well with independent sliders. I imagine a control that indicates the trade-offs (and when they're ok) as you tweak it would educate us

Good point. Still, I argue that FB doesn't have any sort of ulterior motive with not showing a webkit-based browser or what-have-you.
