   I dont think mobile games are entirely indicative of what the gaming industry is. The rampant cloning and wild west nature is kind of a characteristic unique to mobile. Cloning and stuff still happens in other gaming mediums, but it has nev

   My palms got sweaty just reading the hotmail portion. I think someone could make a really great horror book that is just a collection of stories like this. I know it would give me nightmares.

   I really appreciate that Notch seems to always communicate his opinions, whether I agree with them or not, in such an intelligent and fair way. I think he hit all the right points with this post especially about his initial investment in t

   This is really interesting and I appreciate knowing the technique that went into coming up with this conclusion, but I find it kind of weird to see the article mention that the plane crashed and killed all passengers so factually. People ne

   Seems really cool and easy to use. I love how it's as simple as an on/off switch. Still though I would like to know more about what is actually going on. As others have said, being open source would be neat.

   While I am not saying this is some universal truth or anything like that, but I have found these kind of articles to be wildly popular amongst cynical students at my college. There is something about the idea of "The world is fucked, a

   While I agree completely that it's a bit outdated(sorry, potentially putting words in your mouth) and has the potential to be pernicious(see the parent of this thread), the easily skippable part is what makes it ok with me. I found the

   Yeah I can't believe those deceitful bastards at the Smithsonian would dare float the idea of a possible subscription to their magazine before you read their article.

   Finally had a chance to play Three's since it came out on android today and it honestly just made me want to play this more. The games are very similar, but 2048 is just more enjoyable to me.

    I believe that is part of the whole knock against spritz. In German, where some of the founding members of Spritz are from, spritz means a similar thing that squirt does in American culture.

    While I agree that it can be annoying, pradn was using it in a very lighthearted manner. I think it is grating when people use it to shutdown a discussion don't find worthwhile.

    They way my parents did it for me was by identifying what I really enjoyed and what I had no interest in. They would encourage and push me to try new things and do what I was interested in, both in and out of school. When I did bad in schoo

    I would love to see hard numbers on that, because it sounds like bullshit. Most non-tech people I know have no idea what a Nexus phone is because there is no promotion for it. Those that have a Samsung phone got one because they knew it was

    That first sentence got a bigger response from me then I was expecting. I can't even tell you how many times I've been told a project I worked on looked great, but I struggle to believe the person because of the numerous improveme

    I have worked with numerous programmers who try to avoid front end design because they just can't wrap their head around it. They can write great code that is easy to read and works great, but when they have to make an elegant or prett

    Pretty much this. Dropbox works well enough, but this is just a gradual step forward that makes all the difference in my opinion.

    No just baffled that you would think someone would be in awe because of your superiority. When I work with people I treat them as equals and expect to be treated the same way, not to be looked down upon.

    Wow. I couldn't even imagine the pain it would be to work with someone like this.

    I am 100% positive this was just an exercise for the developer, not an attempt at getting people to actually play his clone. It also gives code for people who wonder what goes into making a game like Flappy Bird, which I have been asked twi

    I get why they did this, but it seems like such a waste considering everywhere I've seen this posted people just bitch about a book or a section of books they like not being on the list. But it seems to be working as intended, because

    He would experience all of the mistakes, regret, pain, suffering, and all that bad stuff, but he will also experience all of the love, joy, laughter, and all the other good stuff. In the end, one of his single lives still went through the s

    I hope he reverts on this decision and keeps the game up. I am not a fan of it, but I can appreciate his success.

    I would be pretty interested in this as well. I imagine that they only have a loose idea at this point, if at all. If the list of "coming soon languages" is any indication of priority, c and c++ are at the bottom of the pack.

    As others have said they like having these crap apps for the number count. Last summer Microsoft had a developer promotion where they would give you 100 dollars per successfully submitted app. You could submit 10 for the regular store, and

    I don't know what your business is, but I doubt you are charging as much as these hack camps or claiming that your students will get huge salaries after they are done with your service. You should be fine.

    I think it's entirely dependent on the type of headphones. The kind you mention are really slim and sleek; they don't really look out of place. It's when I see people wearing Beats or even bigger over/on ear headphones t

    I really appreciate this idea and have signed up, but the $30 monthly tag seems a bit much with the amount of information given. This could really benefit from a trial period, or maybe a demo project. A demo project would be neat; have it o

    I think it is a testament to how quickly relevant news for people like us rises here. Hacker News is working as intended and I think it's fantastic.
