In the summer of 2005, flipcode.com closed its doors. During its nearly seven years of operation, the site was a popular resource and community hub based primarily around 3d graphics and game programming. Throughout its history, countless r

It sounds like this company is firmly founded (a year old, spending money, etc), so asking to become a co-founder at this point isn't fair to founder(s). Seeing as you've also been paid for the work you've done so far this se

You own your damn phone. Apple didn't lock you up and force your money out of you. Stop whining about getting what you paid for. I love my iPhone, and the iPhone market, but I understand what I paid for. You have plenty of alternatives.

No. I've used SCUMM, was the core systems engineer on Grim, and founded Telltale. I'm very familiar with both. The spirit of SCUMM is very much alive, but SCUMM is a system, not just a language. Lua runs circles around SCUMM as a language (

Google is still a one trick pony from a revenue perspective. It sells advertising pixels in web browsers. As the world moves to consuming less and less info via web browsers this will become a bigger problem for Google. It seems every day I
