Well, the SC2 beta phase one ended two days ago. With all this feedback, I wonder if Blizzard would make any changes to Battle.net 2.0 before the official release date (7/27). Usually Blizzard is very receptive to the feedback of the fans,

Just to clarify - are iAds only supposed to be implemented on free apps? Or, in other words, is there anything stopping an app developer from including iAds in a paid app? Also, do you think a developer would make more money with a free, iA

I've noticed that for my team, some of the bigger meetings seem to attract the problems described in the article, whereas our scrum meetings are more on-topic and brief. It would seem that for our case the 'everyone calls in' solution would

Looking at the data usage trends on my AT&T online account, it seems like the most bandwidth I've used in a month is a little over 300MB. Granted, I don't have an iPhone (and I would probably consume more bandwidth if I had an iPhone or

I have someone on my team who uses SlickEdit, and it messes up all the indentations when I look at the same code in Eclipse. I have to spend a few minutes reformatting it every time he makes changes to the code, and it's a real pain.

I am curious as to what the FTC would have done with this had Apple not introduced their own ad platform. Do you think this deal would not have been allowed?

I understand the philosophy behind adding to a player's ELO when doing a premade. But I feel that part of the problem is that relatively new and inexperienced players (which I consider myself and the people I premade with) are going to be m

I agree completely regarding LoL. Their matchmaking system is supposed to give you a 50% chance of winning any given match (according to their wiki). I usually pre-made with 2-4 friends, and we almost always lost. We were low levels (10-15)

I work 9-5(ish) and go to the company gym after work with a friend every day. We do weight lifting and then usually a 2 mile run. By the time we leave the gym, it's been 1.5 hours, and I get back to my place around 7-7:30pm, depending on tr
