I see your point. The original post doesn't address these issues, and I'm not sure it is ever designed to. If someone wanted to create a globally accessed, multi-language, all-encoding supported fully validated business information XML-RPC

When I was 13 and encountered my first PDA (which is essentially a computer, even back then). I said "they should just attach a phone to this and be done with it." I WAS 13! It was most certainly obvious.

What world do you live in where XML is easier? Have you ever written a SAX parser? XML parsing is not "easier". Screw the libraries that "do it for you". You still have to understand the tiered data structure, attributes vs content, namespa

I think the nuance is that opium and weed in small amounts won't kill you (and there is evidence to suggest that weed can't kill you at all, ever. I'm not entirely sure though). Poision dart frogs on the other hand, you don't really get a "

You're right. Minecraft for Xbox is codeine while the PC version is clearly oxycodone. PvP and Raid servers is like using an IV.

If rewards could then be converted into real world prizes or money, even if the games are based on "skill" (read: poker), wouldn't these new games be subject to the same regulation as on-line casinos?

Disagree. The addiction and draw of a casino is MONEY. Not "ding ding ding". Pay to play games eventually offer dismissing reward. Every time you step into a casino you could win big. There is no incentive for these types of mobile games. "

I stay away from any game with "craft" in the name - knowing that I have a hard time not not playing video games with no end. Then very recently I had my second back surgery. I purchased Minecraft for Xbox 360 as I knew I'd be able to lay i

I'm sorry you feel I have "trolled" you. Not my intention. This was simply far enough away from what I normally encounter to justify voicing my opinion, not that my expectation would be that you would reconsider. For clarification I never c

I too find it incredibly strange and most importantly dangerous . 1) You are intertwining your MARRIAGE with work. Rule #1 is don't shit where you eat. 2) You make matters worse because your husband is your boss. This will screw up the rel

More the reason web will win over "mobile." "Mobile" to me is not a platform - it is a medium of consumption. The web is and always will be the platform in my mind. This is great. If people can iterate on mobile like they can on the web, th

I took a look! But it seems the target market is teenage girls. Maybe I need to configure it, but why? Between reddit, imgur, pinterest... Really what's the difference? How many profitable image sharing apps can the world actually support?
