The grip Nintendo had on publishers in the US in the 80s was dreadful, as well. By demanding exclusivity with publishers for the US, they ensured that the Sega Master System would stay marginal in this market. It's a shame, because the SMS

I wonder what sort of guidelines political parties in the US send to their friends in newspapers?

Was everyone else hoping for a 1 Mhz system with 64k of ram or something? Of course it's not a Commodore 64. However, I find the design enticing, and I could totally picture my kids laying down on the floor in front of the TV with one of th

Sorry, but acting as if Microsoft is really interested in cross-platform anything, and then being surprised when they're not, is similar to snuggling with tigers (while your friends are very worried, asking you to get out of the lair), and

I hope not. For them to kill Trident and move to WebKit would be a git from heaven. of course it will never happen, though. Having a top-notch browser doesn't fit their corporate plans at all. The web platform is a threat to Win32 as it alw

That's essentially my assessment. It sounds incredibly shallow, dangerous, and unappealing in general. However, I'm not the target consumer for the vast portion of services and products out there. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Anheuser Bus

We have a twitter account for announcements. I find it quite inconvenient and inappropriate when people send questions or messages through Twitter that could be better handled through email. It's essentially a waste of time as the twitter f

There isn't an answer that fits all of the different systems called 'NoSQL'. While you can count on any common RDBMS to be accesible through SQL, there is not a 'NoSQL' language or specification. In general, access is somewhat like using an

Exactly what I was wondering. My guesses are - people posting agitating messages online - unlicensed posters on people's walls - posters or banners hung out of people's windows Whatever it is, I'm sure one would not want the police to enter

It took two weeks to program an ancient IIS error page? I could have done that with cut and paste in just a few minutes.

I love it. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but this is exactly the problem I see with continually updating the public about your daily activities and whereabouts. I learned a long time ago that you DON'T tell people you don't trust whether you'll be

Incredibly boring to me. I went to a game once and had to buy several plates of nachos and wander around to try to save my sanity.

I don't see what possible motivation Apple would have to make the web experience as close to native as possible. They don't get a cut of sales on native apps, and they can't control the content, style or functions to the same extent - are

Didn't the article just explain that? I use PHP every day, but have grown a bit tired of the lack of sophistication inherent in the language. The huge flat namespace, the inconsistent design of the standard library, the absence of advanced
