Several commenters and the OP, seem to think that this Kickstarter will fail. Having backed quite few Kickstarter campaigns, and watched a lot more, this seems unlikely. Backing is concentrated very heavily in the first three days and the l

The thing to understand is that Microsoft's main customers are larger business and government, who have large installations. These organisations tend to be very conservative. They don't like to just deploy software/updates, rather they usua

I live in the United Kingdom, and can say that the new maps are a vast downgrade. Central London seems OK, but outside that there are numerous problems. Off the top of my head areas that I have visited lately have no high detail satellite,

>Jeff Atwood has a point that desktop apps are dead. Do you mean this literally? Or just business apps? I mean it doesn't seem likely that web or mobile apps are going to replace Photoshop, or Illustrator or Maya in the next decade.

FB can grow either by increasing it user base as you suggest, or by monetizing it's users better. So if it say increases usage by 5x and monetization by 5x you are looking at a 25x multiplier. Will this happen, I have no idea.

The PS3 version of Skyrim struggled to run when it was released. After 10 hours of game play the game would suffer crashes, slowdown and frame rate drops. While these issues where patched later, its not surprising that the Dawnguard DLC whi

Looking at the roadmap: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Roadmap it seems there won't be non destructive editing for quite some time either (several versions). I've tried Gimp numerous times, and the lack of smart objects/filters makes it a

Actually the iPhone 4S has a 35mm equivalent lens, while the 4 had a 29mm equivalent: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/IPHONE4S/IPHONE4SA.HTM I'm not sure what you mean by aperture scaling with crop factor either?
