i believe the sticking point between the two views is the very definition of what you are selling to customers. someone says product and half of us thing "app store download" and the other half think "custom software service

as both a professional and independent game developer, i take issue with this statement for a couple reasons. 1) this is a life-cycle thing. the game has only been released for 3 weeks and has no marketing budget (i assume since it's

amen and ditto on the occupation. i suspect this probably has to do with a truism every programmer knows. there are really only 3 cases to solve for (not 11,868) -- one device, two devices or n devices. m3mnoch.

"rapidly heading towards the limits of material strength" indeed. tho, we should also note that we are looking at a weakest link thing. can that one bolt sustain that much pressure? or maybe that one weld? or any of the concre

heh. slow down turbo. nobody's arguing that the execution on the iphone wasn't completely awesome. that being said, i find it funny that you flippantly discard the number of phones with better specs in one breath, and then ackno

indeed. i am also equally sick of hearing this complaint. tho, it's for a different reason. music is not a freakin' product, people. it's a service. musicians are PERFORMERS. outside of the last 60 years or so, there was

no. it's not flat. it's not beveled and skeuomorphic. it's splits the middle. that's always bad -- as our friend yoda says, "do, or do not." ios 7 basically says "i can't decide what i want. i do

except for pricepoint. can you imagine buying songs for $0.25 apiece? or even $0.10! take the digital sales learnings from initiatives like the humble bundle and steam sales and $0.99 ebooks and just apply them. i mean, with marginal cos
