I looked into this a while ago, and it seems like GAE still doesn't have a real way for the server to push to the browser (Comet). There's a ticket open for it ( http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=37... ), and it's a

There are actually schools ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_school ) that attempt to teach K-12 this way. It would be interesting to read a study of how Sudbury alumni perform after they graduate, but I can't find one right now.

Great movie, but I don't think people should use Glengarry Glenn Ross for sales tips, unless you want to end up like Shelley Levine.

I agree, I just don't think tough love over the internet is really going to change his attitude. He knows he was a bad employee, and it wasn't as if he wrote his post bragging about how much slacking off he got away with before, how dumb hi

Seems like he's looking for advice, not sympathy. Even he admits he didn't handle this the best way, but there's no shame in wanting to align your personal interests with your daily work. I think the real lesson to be learned here is not to

I don't think so, but there's an NES emulator for Android. It probably wouldn't be able to take much advantage of the larger screen, since classic games would look pretty awful stretched out to full tablet resolution.

As far as iPad alternatives go, I feel that the Notion Ink Adam deserves more attention than it's getting. 3G and Wifi, camera, and innovative back side trackpad in addition to a touchscreen. And it runs Android. Nothing on a price yet, but

Another sad story like this: http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/ It's pretty insane to think how much work went into both of these games, and that they will never see the light of day.

I'm pretty sure Chatroulette uses Adobe Stratus ( http://labs.wip3.adobe.com/technologies/stratus/ ) for video, which is peer to peer.
