I wonder how else they could monetize this game that would not leave a bad taste in the player's mouth though. It is a free game after all and so far there's no banner ads or any sort of direct monetization happening within the ap

That sounds a lot like it will do very very well in Singapore especially if Singapore Post depots act as the hub for these drones. The entire country could be completely served by them. Although there's no front lawn to speak of, so th

Looking at their getting started page, it seems to be much simpler to integrate in terms of getting the barebones map up and running. I haven't had time to dive into it yet so don't take my word for it but I suspect it would be si

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm looking through it right now. Is there anything specific you wanted to point out that I should look out for? It's a pretty long document and I didn't want to miss anything important.

I am currently working on a location-based game for iOS and have been using Google Maps SDK and I'm extremely interested in this. Google Maps has refused to respond to all requests for custom styled maps on iOS despite being the most r

Awesome work on Mobbles! Since we're also working on a similar concept, I guess we'd be competitors, but the more the merrier! Ours isn't released yet though, so you have the leg up for now ;) I too am not unhappy that this i

Out of curiosity, as I'm not aware of any patents that oculus actually owns on VR, do you happen to have any information on that?

Couldn't whoever was piloting the plane act like they were still going to the right destination and then land them in a place where none of their phones have connection? Then it wouldn't be a problem to slowly move all the hostage

I agree that what you prefer would be ideal, however a lot of things that happen on the Web isn't conducive to a real "true current state of progress" loader. Actually, a lot of things that happen even on local machines are n

I find the finger counting (3 with thumb, index, and middle finger) interesting. Here in Asia that could mean 8. I was first taught to count starting from the index finger as well: fist = 0 index = 1 index, middle = 2 index, middle, ring =

This would work if the affected party is making the call. It would still not ensure that the 3rd party caller will get reimbursed. A lot of domestic violence calls are real, yet the victims may not actually confirm that there were, in-fact,

The issue with charging money for 911 calls would be people who are not actually the victim of a crime (say, a bystander) will have a disincentive to call. In a world where some people already ignore crimes as "not my business" th

It is true that this could be _one_ of the flip side arguments in favor of using machines. However, as we probably know, it's a pretty weak one. I don't think any human beings should be subjected to having somebody else's ide

I guess this this much more about cultural adaptation. Of course, when I referred to cheapness of food, I really mean the local food that you get just about everywhere on the street (which will usually be something with rice. That something

Most of the time I would agree with this sentiment, I don't think you're morally wrong to work on your own project while living in other countries without a proper visa; it's definitely not breaking the spirit of the law. Hec

I highly agree that you should definitely research the law before packing your bags and heading for Bangkok to just start bootstrapping. As hackerboos mentioned, it is illegal to "work" here without a work permit. As I understand

The "tourist tax" is quite difficult to circumvent. The best way is to make close local friends and get them to do all your ordering or negotiations for you. Normally food and drink prices are clearly written and are not over-pric
