There's been some talk recently about somewhat ridiculous symbols representing attribution. Sometimes, a good icon or symbol works really well; other times less so. I think this is a nice idea and looks well-executed.

Is there anything that lets you view how much network _bandwidth_ an application is using? I've looked before with no luck.

Some people just like data, the way others like walking on the beach or playing football or reading a book. Some things just don't "do" a whole lot for you except entertain or inform you.

The 4-inch frame around the edges makes it look like one of those mediocre VGA-resolution displays they have available now.

On iOS, you can usually get sound effects or music working pretty well int terms of latency, but not both. For a while Android had decent flash support for multiple sounds at once in the browser. I agree, sound is really the most lacking

Sure. On our website, you'll see a demo or two (admittedly out of date) of how our platform generally works: Write your games once, using HTML5 and Javascript, and they'll run anywhere with essentially no code modification: Browser, mobile,

Oh, and of any of you are in the area, every Thursday at 8pm we have a game night at our office. You should stop by!

This is the company I moved to silicon valley to work for, and it has been a blast. I might be biased, but I think we've got a really great crew at Game Closure. Deciding to move out west was the best decision I could have made. The past ye

Somewhat related: I've always been under the impression that vitamins are a scam. Is it actually helpful to take a multivitamin? Are there specific single-ingredient vitamins that one should be taking that have proven beneficial? I look at

Advertising. Some services are hit-and-miss (Facebook Ads, Google Adsense...), and you may have to play around to see if you can get any sort of reasonable return. Unfortunately, depending on your market, ad spending at a small scale may ju

The title was "takes 2nd place". Saying the same about anything else would also be ambiguous, though I admit web servers don't have many other legit ways to take 2nd place. My first impression was that they were going to talk about performa

A lot of radio shows online that I used to listen to (primarily on TwIT) became dull and repetitive after a while. With so many tech podcasts already around, I wasn't sure if Dan would be able to make 5by5 successful. Against my expectation

I had a similar experience upon moving to Palo Alto last June. Living, working, and walking in places where "the greats" work changes your perspective immensely. Yes, it humanizes them, but it also emphasizes that you could just as well cre

I like the broader question this inspires: Why are the technologies prevalent in the 60's still prominent today? The correct, standard answer is that they're good enough. Good enough often beats out better solutions. But that's only half

If you approach a discussion with the attitude that it might be hard to accomplish, you inspire the creative and competitive part of the mind to search for ways it can be done. If you approach it as though the task is easy, the mind searche
