Even worse, the commercial time seemed to pick up the same time they started betaing Hulu Plus. That's why I dropped it after two months.

I'm not arguing for Kings mind you, but I will say that it seems all publishers want to become content owners. And if the current content owners don't want to run the site, I find it difficult to imagine they're going to stay with it foreve

Ahhh, thanks for that. I'd missed it.

Has Amazon dipped its toes into content production before? Then again, I'm still occasionally surprised by the Kindle.

And shows like Arrested Development, Firefly, and Jericho. Maybe not those shows in particular given the amount of time that's passed, but, the next time it happens.

The production of Apocalypse Now was by any account HELL. Far worse than any game development example I can think of. (Well, DNF jokes spring to mind, but at least they essentially built multiple games there. Apocalypse Now wasn't released

I speak from a point of ignorance, I've never worked in the field. That said, if a project requires months of unplanned crunch time, it wasn't perfectly run. And I don't think anyone would say that crunch isn't commonplace. (At least, I thi

I almost chastised the submitter, but then clicked and saw that the "fanbois/fans" bit was actually the title in the article. That's always annoying to me. (And I don't even use Apple's stuff.)

First, many local libraries offer digital check-out services. Call up or email your local library to find out. Secondly, insofar as a business idea? Publishers already want to force libraries to constantly re-license eBooks after they've be

I find it interesting some of the stories that get more upvotes here. Is there anyone here that's actually in favor of this? I'm curious to know why. (And I'll be polite about it.) Maybe it's just cynicism?

Location, location, location. I have the workplace for work. While I share an apartment with my brother, I have my kitchen to cook, my bedroom to sleep in, my living room for entertainment. I'd like a quiet place to go to write, or maybe ge

Recommended by a friend. I asked him to "give me a good website with a good signal to noise ratio." I've mostly lurked since.

You're not wrong that "some customers are harder to sell to than others." But that's a problem anyone trying to sell something faces. Also worth noting is that he talks about the disproportionate number of games pirated to games sold across

I agree with you completely; if we don't get over this, more people will be murdered in prison! Okay, I jest. But you're absolutely right anyway. It annoys me as an American, and I'm the one with all the good fortune in this case! That a TV

I'd like to point this out: http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Another-view-of-game-piracy To quote: The highest estimate I've seen is that 10% of worldwide iPhones are jailbroken. Given that there are so few jailbroken phones, how can we e

Ah yes, poor Microsoft, the lowly company that only makes billions a quarter. Don't get me wrong, your point on stagnation isn't totally missed, but do we really still need eternal growth to be "successful?"

More likely it would be trademark violation. After all, who is to decide what "Rolex" means, anyway?

Not overly fruitful to conversation, but despite myself I love that GeoHot entered an online rapping contest by trying to battle Sony verbally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iUvuaChDEg I honestly think he could outdo more than a couple

It's quite funny/scary what you can find on Google Docs, really. Start with people who have saved their resumes as public templates, and who knows where you'll end up!

The increased unemployment due to automation isn't a new problem, just finally getting attention. As also said in reply to you, farms make the perfect example. An arce produces far more food now than at any point in the past. The bigger que

My teacher used color combinations in Visual Studio that made things unmistakable. After my first dream of sering code in those colors, it was just different. It was far less daunting, and I was much more quick to get in and start tinkering

My "quick writing" didn't do me many favors. Aiming at business and then calling it "Friend" may be mixed messages. ContactWith? ContactInto? Or maybe aim it at friends, and stick with the other... But, yeah, you get the idea.

Oh I get it. I just mean that, if it didn't have that stuff, I wouldn't be too concerned with running a custom rom, and the bootloader wouldn't be as big an issue.

I'm with you. I'm now 30 and in debt from trying to "do things they way they're done," which is what I was taught. I actually think that's probably the larger reason (though certainly raw resources like money don't hurt.)

Ah man. I wrote a long-ass reply, but I lost it when trying to post. I'll try to quickly hammer out a readable version. "What do I want a social network to do for me?" The only reason I ever actively used Facebook was to look up info on my

A million times this. But really, I probably wouldn't even consider it if the phones didn't have extra programs on them that ran pointlessly and/or I couldn't uninstall.

Honestly, that so many people are on Facebook does little for me. (I mean, do users mind being the first to sign up for a new service? Don't many (an increasing number?) dig that?) But everyone I once knew from highschool wanted to add me o

Maybe I'm just too much a cynic, but any time I see a state trying to buck a federal law, I picture a special interest who thought their money would go further purchasing favor with legislative officials at the state level rather than the f
