Absolutely not. There are still MAJOR questions about these high-end "games on demand" services that have so far gone completely unanswered, aside from PR type non-answers. Latency - how will they perform when round-trips take 30-100ms+? Ba

1) It sounds like AT&T badly need to invest in some form of packet shaping for their wireless data that prioritizes cell phone data (calls+text+voicemail) over regular traffic. 2) The iPhone should have the option to use Edge for calls,

Err, neither the word "incentive" nor "structure" appears in this article. Infact it's solely about whether there are more "dirty jobs" for men than women

I heartily applaud and encourage Apple to spend their manpower on reviewing apps that are either new to the store or are updated with notable new features. If Joe Stump is so concerned about the good name of his app being ruined by 1-star r

One-click deployment does not mean developers should be releasing code to customers straight out of their build directories.

Simple - Yes. Dangerous - I don't really see how. While it may be possible to overwrite 8 bytes of kernel memory prior to a panic I'm not really sure what's so dangerous about that, nor does the article demonstrate any exploit. If such a

What a f*&%ing stupid title. Not only does the article contain nothing but examples of ridiculously overpaid CEO's, but does anyone actually even think their pay is in sync?

It's a real shame though that the iPhone/iPod Touch doesn't allow better integration with third party music apps so they can play in the background or be controlled by remote. (though fortunately both of these can be enabled for jailbroken

The article fails to mention that: a) cable companies will not be allowed to encrypt the local stations (Fox, ABC, etc) b) Non-local expanded basic stations that are currently in unencrypted digital (Bravo, MTV, DSC etc) are at best 480p an

Very impressive, this could be a great way to allow developers to begin using <canvas> now and have a fallback for unsupported browsers (yes you IE).

Can I ask what interview stage you were asked these in, and what level the position was for? While these are good questions, in my experience they're so widely known from books/websites that I'd be amazed if a company like Google was using

Handy for free but a bit of a waste of money at $5. It's not THAT difficult after all, and the documents/walkthroughs on the iPhone developer site have improved hugely compared to a year ago.

No, it IS a bad thing. What you get (and what happens on SO) is that certain people will post something, anything, to new posts so they have the first comment. They then spend the next five minutes gradually expanding their answer either ba

Heh, fortunately that isn't much of a concern. These are all things that a good programmer would find within 30 mins when they sit down with a profiler to eek out a few more fps or free memory. The intention is not to hide these from other

Yeap, this is a common and very smart thing to do. Similar tricks are to sneak in a 1-3ms delay in the main game loop so you have about 10% of your framerate reserved, and if you're not running on DVD add some sleep() calls when a file is o

There's something fundamentally wrong with a guide that purports to be for independent developer income, yet lists advertisements above software development and claims they will be the largest source of income.

Very smart of Starbucks. I feel that some independent coffee shops are being a little short-sighted. While I tend to favor giving my business to independent shops, one of the local ones here in SF has recently cut their free WiFi to 60 mins
