I think there is a middle ground. I've long concluded that I didn't enjoy the stress of "dying" in old school games like Double Dragon, or Contra etc. I agree that there should be some kind of penalty for messing up. I might try this game o

I am interested in setting up some type of sponsorship like this on my site. But I am wondering how to determine an appropriate price to charge for such an ad. I am sure there are many factors involved. But I'm not sure where to start. Any

It really depends on why you would want a PhD. There are many good reasons. I am just finishing up a PhD myself (after first completing a masters degree) and I tell everyone who is considering a PhD to only pursue it if they have a good ide

Good job for putting this up! Here is some quick initial feedback. The main issue I had was that I didn't understand what the site does. The answer to "What is an infostripe?" seemed very open-ended to me and I didn't understand what it w

Here are two things I would suggest just off the top of my head based on personal experience going through an engineering undergrad, having gone through grad school, and taught undergrad engineering courses. 1) Try to meet some people going

One blog that I follow is iDev Recipes. While not purely a design blog, it shows how to replicate interesting UI elements from nicely designed apps. http://idevrecipes.com/

I just signed up and looked around the site. But I don't quite understand the platform. Is the Nook an eReader that happens to also be an android tablet? What does the Nook SDK provide? I didn't see any docs on the site.

I am about to defend my Ph.D. thesis in a few weeks. I'm in the area of comp/elec engineering, VLSI chip design stuff. Here is my advice from my personal experience. I typically tell people to not go for a Ph.D. unless they are convinced th

Interesting. Was this paper actually published somewhere? I didn't see any listing of a conference name. Am curious what kind of academic conferences for which this paper would be suitable. Would like to check those proceedings out. And a

Actually, my understanding of Microsoft Research is that their main focus is on promoting and sharing innovative ideas. A MSR researcher's performance is reviewed based on academic publications and the amount of impact that their work has

I'm curious about whether the creator has had any direct experience with addiction, and if so, whether this type of game has helped him.

I'm curious about the ad networks that are used in these apps. I read the interview transcript and it says that AdMob was used at first and then they switched to "AdWorld" (which I assume was a transcription error and it meant AdWhirl). If

Congrats on the launch! One thing I thought I'd mention (which might be a bit off topic) is that I recently contemplated the use of the "Zilla" suffix for a project name. But after doing a bit of research, it sounds like the owners of the

I agree that this is a good design philosophy. But I also think that the problem of "the user not reading the app description" (as described by the parent) is a separate issue. For example, I found that there were several problems to be so

I haven't tried this Safari 5 feature yet, but it sounds very similar to a feature that is also already on the iPad version of Safari and other iPad apps that make use of the web view API. On the iPad, if you double tap on the text area, th

Do you happen to remember the name of this app? Thanks.

This is hilarious. Can someone remind me how the original version was implemented?

I signed up and posted a couple of links but I'm not really convinced why I should use your site. I think I understand the problem you are trying to solve because I use Tumblr and Twitter to do (what I understand to be) the same thing. Her

Really nice design work! For someone like me who hasn't had much experience with this kind of design work, could you (or someone) give me a ballpark feel for the length of time needed to implement, say the examples that you posted?

Congratulations! Fantastic idea and really nice MVP site! Some minor feedback that may be in the comments already (I only read through some of them): - zip lookup was very slow for me - When I went to checkout on the Patio option, the tex
