It is not IE only. CreateJS works well in the major browsers. The games work in new versions of all browsers. The games are only ad-free in IE and should work well especially in IE 10 as this looks to be partially sponsored by Microsoft. So

I would remove the Mastering Node link from the resources. It is pretty far out of date and a lot has changed in the 9 months since it has been updated. Specifically it does not mention the binaries for installing node, includes old, unusab

You could write your own way of doing it or use an existing flow control library. There are lots. :) https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#wiki-async-flow For a specific example, look at async.parallel: https://github.com/caolan/as

I enjoyed reading it. It is nice to read about what the startups in Y Combinator go through. Minor typos I noticed (since you seem like you want the feedback): missing 'the': "to get the company into best shape possible" spelling of predict

My guess is that not very many people are talking about it because with Flash 10.1 Adobe added support for multi-touch. Once Flash becomes available on a lot of devices that support multi-touch, you will probably see developers adding prope

The problem I am referring to in my post is the overall population problem of the world. There are a finite number of resources to sustain the population on this planet and we currently have a very high population growth rate in the world.
