It gets even better than that if you're in an approved accelerator / incubator: you get $60,000 USD in hosting credits, at a rate of $5,000 a month. We're entirely hosted on Azure using their Linux VMs and have had a great ex

This reminds me of an interesting question posed on reddit in /r/programming a few years ago: if you were stuck in a room with a blank PC with only a floppy drive and disk, what's the bare minimum that would need to be on the

None of which necessarily makes Threes a better game. I enjoyed (and still enjoy) 2048 far more than I ever enjoyed Threes, simple though it may be.

That's a shame, because Minecrift[1] is the most astonishing Oculus experience I've had so far. Just being inside a world I had created, surrounded by peaceful ambience, floating above the treetops (fly mod, heh) - I can't ex

Their PE ratio is ~106, they'd be crazy not to take advantage of that.

Oculus wasn't exactly starving for cash, and even if they were investors would have beaten each other to death for a chance to pour some cash into it.

Maybe this is my personal bias showing, but surely Google is more of a general technology company than Facebook could hope to be. Google has a long-term, sustainable business that continually makes huge strides in new markets - from revolut

Why on earth would Oculus sell at all, least of all to Facebook? What possible reason could Facebook have to purchase a company so far removed from its core competency? People in the /r/oculus reddit are already expressing strong

Alternatively, you can base your business model on tricking people into subscribing to a service they likely don't know they're subscribing to. http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/27/not-so-vip/

People are quick to paint this as Facebook twisting the screw, but do we know definitively, not speculatively, that this is an intentional and planned effect, like there's some variable somewhere that determines what percentage of a pa

Ultimately, why should anyone care whether 2048 hurts Threes' sales? Should developers (or anyone for that matter) have any obligation to consider the impact of their work on someone else's product's commercial viability?

I far prefer threaded discussions to flat discussions. The ability to hide child comments on a top-level comment is a godsend for wading through lengthy threads (so much so that I made a small Chrome extension to automatically hide child co

I mean non-commercial in the sense that the person doing the downloading (or uploading) isn't doing so to generate a commercial benefit, not whether or not the product being pirated is commercial in nature. >which can be categorized

Issuing shares to the public (that is to say, not to a restricted group of sophisticated investors) is far more difficult and expensive than just taking donations. Here in Australia a proprietary company can't take investment from (or

Actually it can make it easier to cheat in a sense - if you make a bad move you can just replay the current game until a few moves before, stop the replay, and keep playing :) Incidentally, I like the corner tactic you used, that's wha

Because competition drives innovation. We wouldn't have Chrome today if nobody had bothered competing against IE. We wouldn't have Google if nobody thought they could do better than Altavista.
