I can imagine this opening up much better ergonomics for phone. This particular design is probably more for aesthetics, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was slightly more ergonomic. There's nothing ergonomic about the current rec

I take the point as a counter to the notion that a pure democracy is inherently superior to other mixed forms of democracy, where voting is less direct.

Awesome. People (and animals) have been eating insects in healthy doses for far longer than soy or whey, so I'm more comfortable eating this than the standard protein sources. I hope this takes off.

Keep in mind that for games you are often targeting three different consoles plus PC. You may also port to other platforms eventually, and won't be able to easily track down all these lines of code at a later date to guarantee they optimize

I learned to code on a broke-down Apple II, which crashed every 10 to 20 minutes. The advantage of coding on a broke-down Apple II is that it encourages you to save and back up as frequently as possible.

I rolled my own 'text editing version 2.0' with an eye toward both speed and logical commands for ease of use (and to ease the mental demand). At first I found that the speed and ease allowed me to code faster and longer. Later I realized I

Most kids don't actually read Milton or Bradbury in college when it's assigned. On the other hand, people who do want to read classics can do so while also being a software developer. I'm all for enrichment, and I did enrich myself in col

This essentially makes your phone into an OUYA. Awesome. I hope these guys can capture some of the furor that fueled the OUYA kickstarter. If this takes off it will seriously change the face of mobile gaming.
