When I think of game development studios, I don't think of Omaha, NE (for better or worse). I may be alone. Ben Vu, the founder of SkyVu, actually used to be an animator in Hollywood. He moved back to Omaha to start SkyVu when Battle Bear

I live in Chicago and am heavily involved on the tech startup scene here. Our scene is growing rapidly and changing by the month. Is it the second largest in the country? I dunno. Probably not, I would think that'd be New York. I don't r

I hope the maps don't change for the user. Frankly, I don't care about Apple and Google's map bickering. If the new Apple Maps app is now a crippled maps app for my iPhone compared to the existing Google Maps iPhone app, that's a big probl
