It's a shame they didn't build a parallel version of the robot, especially if it could 'render' an animated image.

I really hope this doesn't result in a flood of Flash-based apps. And I say that as someone who's been developing Flash content for the web for quite some time.

YouTube is still monetised by advertising... still making profit, though I guess its more upfront.

As far as I can tell, Scribd's primary business model is monetizing pirated content. So basically it's YouTube, but for documents.

Reading this, as a 21 year old, I'm starting to feel like I really need to get cracking on something!

Yeah, it is at a turning point, it's about to become plugin-less using Native Client. http://blogs.unity3d.com/2010/05/19/google-android-and-the-f...

It was just that British immigrants had the nasty habit of overthrowing the government in their new homes. How many countries did that happen in?

I think you're making the mistake of thinking that the people who crack software for fun/kudos also want it widely distributed. The warez scene and the people who share its output online are two different groups (with a slight overlap).

For a long time people have psuedo-individualised themselves through the products they associate with. Facebook makes this as easy as clicking 'Like'.

Facebook didn't fix email with its Facebook 'mail', it did it with wall posts, comment conversations, and events.

Well if you define the web as 'HTTP traffic on port 80' then... yes, a lot of it is. A lot is also delivered over RTMP (ie, streamed Flash video). edit: RTMP not RTSP (that's Windows Media, Quicktime etc).

Flash is a poor example because the majority of consumer PCs sold already include a reasonably recent version of Flash. This is why I'm still building adgames in Flash when I'd much rather use Unity3d. Unity adds the friction of a plugin in

Thing is, for a lot of people, a computer for 'work' purely means one on which they have first class Office (docx, xlsx, pptx) compatibility at the lowest possible price. Even Office:Mac is pricey, and not 100% identical (and no MS Access).

This is what the ACTA should have been focused on, instead of trying to stop people downloading music. It is the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, after all.

But apparently they only have 1000 of them, and won't get any more, due to the Nexus One being End-of-life. http://ausdroid.net/2010/07/02/vodafone-only-have-1000-nexus... I was going to pick one up for cross platform game development wit

AFAIK decompiling and recompiling a SWF into something that works and looks the same as the original is not particularly do-able (unless you feel like reimplementing most of the code yourself). Certainly, for most of these sites that steal

I've been thinking I'd like to get a standing workstation as it might encourage me to move around more, and I believe that even just to be standing most of the time is supposed to impact positively on heart health. Something like this would

You're in England, yeah? Surely there's some music types around who would buy a used Mac Pro... here in Perth, Australia, I know a few Drum & Bass and Dubstep producers who are gagging for one, they're just more expensive here.

1. Macbook Pro 13". I prefer it to the 15" I used to have, as the most important factor for me is portability. The 13" is effortless to tote, and fits comfortably into even small bags. 2. Core i7-860 based hackintosh, Samsung 24" monitor. I

I definitely enjoy some of their articles, I just singled them out mainly because they come to mind as an online news source with a clear left-lean. Still, while the politics stuff is usually well written, they bring themselves down a few n

I don't know why anyone would be regularly consuming any such obviously/strongly biased sources. I'd be concerned that spending too much time amongst poor journalism and extreme views, they might just start to seem more 'normal' or 'accepta
