   That was my point, it might not have the best content on the internet,but it clearly has a huge user base, and a very active one. I don't get why it wouldn't be a good investment decision.

   Why? I know that 9gag is not the most serious business out there, but don't you think it could be a viable and sustainable business?

   Thanks for the reference, I'm going to pass it to them, and yeah, there is still plenty of room in the AR worlds, but they are really dissapointed with this as they were pitching their game as "A minecraft but in the real world". They are n

   I have a group of friends that were thinking about doing something similar, unfortunately for them, they were just starting to shape the idea, while Mojang seems very ahead in development.

   That is a very nice view. I have always wanted to visit Japan, but haven't find the time and the money to do it, but I hope I'll someday.

   I'm also from Guatemala, and yeah, it's really nice to see the word Quetzal in something as big as an Ubuntu version name.

    I think the pokeball is because of the name of the service, there was this character in Pokemon called Prof. Oak.

    I thought the same thing, but also, the "research" label could be just a safety net in case it doesn't turn out very well.

    And I thought that the chrome multitasking was too much effort.

    I was thinking the exact same thing, I feel very dissapointed every time I see something interesting at the top of HN, and when I'm going to try it out, there's no Linux version of it. It's like you said, if they want a good number of beta

    In case you're trying to go to the getting started page in the overview it seems like it is broken, here is the getting started page in google code http://code.google.com/p/playn/wiki/GettingStarted

    Yes, we have been using PlayN for a few months right now, it is true that it is not as complete as other cross-platform tools, but it is starting to get a really good shape, someone just made a C-ish backend last month and got a working ex

    Last week someone did a major fix to flash export, I haven't tested yet since it's not in the maven central repo yet, but if you use source code in google code, maybe you could test the state of flash now.

    iOS port is in the works, it's not done yet, but there's a few people working on it, there's already a set of instructions in the google group on how to test a basic example of iOS, but it's not as complete as HTML and Android ports.

    Yeah, I noticed that too, weird, it's not everday that we see comebacks like this one on HN.

    If you're making cross-platform games, you may want to take a look at playn, we have been using it for over 5 months, and it has been really easy to use and works really good, though some platforms are still a work in progress http://code.

    I feel it's a balance between both, yes, you're right the distribution channels are already there, but the quality of the productions that use those channels are not even close to the quality Hollywood productions have. We need to find a wa

    The post is right about distribution being the biggest challenge, it is not about how movies are being made, is about how can you shift the industry model into another distribution channel.

    Yes, probably not this specific event, but maybe they were coordinated just in case something happen around the protest that went down yesterday.

    As previous comments said, it is a lot better buying an used macbook, I had the same dilemma a year ago, tried with a hackintosh with no luck, a couple of months later I found an used macbook on ebay that it was in really good shape, still
