Good read! I really like the way every single detail was thought out and actually made sense. It happens quite often that the explanations for a design are corny and far-stretched.

I'm with you. I don't get it... The physics part is pretty minimal and doesn't seem to bring anything to the gameplay: the "corpses" don't really slow you down and the fact that your "bullets" can hit on the way down don't add much either.

I'm probably not enough of a graphic designer or artist in general to do exactly that, but this post made me realize how I should really think of ways to make some money on the side. And also that, just trying can sometimes be enough! What

Interestingly, the average of not-so-good-looking people is pretty good-looking. Looking more into details the set of pictures, none is really cute and there is a lot of people with pretty strange, asymmetric faces. They look kind of retouc

They do broadcast the event live on YouTube though. It looks like they are using the event to test the live feature.

That's very intriguing to me too. It feels like it's loading up faster than a simple web-page! I like the design even though the ability to use a smaller version of the page could be interesting (think that you have a specific small page op

In a way, I think I would feel uncomfortable because having people doing your menial tasks sounds a little like having servants. However, I think it can make sense. If it makes you happier, more relaxed, or gives you more time to work on so

It's nicely done! I'm not sure that I like the fact that the text doesn't mean anything... I guess it's in purpose so that you have to look at the words and not type mechanically for words you know but at the same time, I spend a lot more t

The title of the submission seems wrong to me. Reading the article, I understand that you can obtain the approximate location of a WiFi router knowing its MAC address. It doesn't sound as worrying as getting the position of a cell phone tho

Keyhole -> Google Earth was a big success too. The thing is that we tend to forget the successes a little bit because they got to merge so well with Google. Looking at the list of acquisitions on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
