Ditto. I'm hesitant to use the word "elitism" to describe the outspoken Apple fans, but it's especially aggravating when someone writes up extremely harsh reviews or descriptions of a competing product when it doesn't act or perform in the

As a person who hates hearing the political arguments around this subject, I am excited to hear people talking about this. As a dev who knows how hard/impossible it can be to write bug-free software, I think this could be opening a can of w

I'm kinda bummed I didn't get in on the Kickstarter to get one of these. I have emailed them and found out that I could purchase one for $800, but I simply can't afford that right now. It's a longshot, but if anyone out there is getting a d

Indie Game: The Movie is excellent. I guess I'll have to buy this one.

Reading something like this makes me think long and hard about all the ways I could be healthier.

Power Weapons in the Stack. I owned the top floor. Immediately prior to reading this, I was writing about how non-game developers can indeed bring a unique perspective to the table when developing games. This is definitely an inspirational

I've been turned off by Google's recruiting style as well. I don't understand why the current state of tech recruiting is to blast out (almost) generic recruiting emails to everyone. It feels like this style of recruiting should have gone a

This post seems to focus on requests for games that are played on the Facebook website, but what about mobile apps? I am actually in the process of integrating requests into my Android app and other than a bug I ran into, I was actually ple

I watched the Kickstarter video and I have to say, I feel like I'm being trolled in the most epic fashion.

I like this concept. Obviously not the most exciting thing to watch, but observing the thought process of another team valuable. I just have the audio going in a hidden tab at the moment.

I just noticed this. Um. Sad. Really sad.

Yeah... that was my first thought – looks like a canv.as competitor. However, I do not think it's sad in any way. In my book, entertainment is is useful.

Yeah, what this study doesn't acknowledge (or at least via TechCrunch's perspective) is that the culture (and more broadly, the country) in which the website visitors live (in the offline world) would probably contribute to how they present

It's different because via Apple's model, you are holding the bookstore in your hands. There isn't an option to go to a different bookstore down the street, or order a book from a website that will send it to you in the mail. I'm thinking a

Please see my response to inerte's comment, if you have not already. It's not that I'm surprised that Apple would do this. I am just shocked that the definition of "book" could change in front of everyone's eyes and the common person will i
