I've always admired Carmack's candid insights. Rather than put up a PR facade instead he readily admits that he feels Armadillo stumbled because he took his hands off the wheel, failed to mass produce test rockets, and the staff s

Wow, this is an interesting topic. I especially like the informative news link. I was also wondering if anyone here has heard of the Samsung Smart App Challenge because I was thinking of entering. I heard the best apps will win great promot
