Sounds exactly like me. When I was 10 I dismantled my ZX81 to 'see how it worked' and broke it of course. I then got a ZX Spectrum to keep me from crying about it which I also ended up taking apart, but managed not to break. I think I condi

Actionscript in the right hands can perform very well. A big part of the problem lies with the barrier to entry (low) and the features available to developers and designers via its API and tool-set. Things like bitmap manipulation and real-

Let's be clear. My comment was made in jest at this subject appearing on HN and not at Apple. This was in no way suggested. ---- Branding is much more than logo and where it is placed on an object. It is an entire experience targeting the c
