Think about this: Flash is not Adobe's core business. It's just a result. Their business is to make and sell amazing Editors. CS is their main product. They bought Macromedia, just to own much of the market of Designer-oriented applications

I did a simple RPG game engine (It handled basic scripting, navigating through different maps, some screen tricks, etc), back in 1999 when I was 15 y.o. (yeah, I had a LOT of spare time back then)... I'll leave a screen here: http://img4

Awesome. But Adobe is slowly moving away from Flash. BTW, Google ported Quake II to the browser (WebGL, WebSockets, etc) back in 2010. BLOG: http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2010/04/look-ma-no-plug... CODE: http://code.google.com/p/q

Isn't it strange that we are celebrating being able to build things made 20 years ago, but in the browser? I can imagine someone in 2032 posting somewhere: "Hey! I ported Crysis to the XXX " Being XXX = an Augmented Reality 3D Browser or w

I thought the same thing, and even went to YouTube, just to feel a little nostalgic for a moment :) I remember having to move one unit at a time. That alone required some skill!! =)

Looks interesting. Also, check out the link to "CS 373: PROGRAMMING A ROBOTIC CAR". By the way, in that video, Sergey Brin looks older and really tired!

The point is to affect their quarter balance. Consuming their products either way, is just the same. The money ends up in their hands. But for a boycott to be effective, you need to create awareness to generate real-world actions. Otherwise

This is a pretty optimistic view. Kinect is great. Granted. Windows 7 is great. Granted. Windows Phone 7 is great. I haven't one, but I'll just say Granted. But from there, to say it will erase all traces of Android’s inconsequential exist

Recently, in 2010, before the last presidential election (2011) here in Argentina, we had by decree a 'political reform'. It would have been far better to do it by law, but there was such a short time before campaigns started. Some of the m

Yes, but I think that much of the public sentiment is that the very same mass media not covering ACTA is the one behind this kind of policies. So, they try to make it impossible for them not to cover the story. Sadly, I fear that this kind

The main problem with a direct representation of the society (even without a direct democracy) is that this enables the Tyranny of the majority. Under this kind of system, every minority would be oppressed.

I think that qualifies as industrial espionage. There are laws that forbid that behavior. And it is punishable with jail time. I don't know how many CEO's are willing to bet their necks doing that.

I agree. Sadly, political influence costs lots of money. And thats the hardest part to overcome. So, we should first settle our differences (in your sample, how to solve the broken system) to avoid wasting time and money.
