This article focusses on new college grads. The questions remain, are college grads the right choice for startups and are startups the right choice for college grads. The answer will probably depend on the type of startup, the grad and time

I'm curious, on what do you base your price? It seems impossible to me to realistically provide a fixed price on unknown specifications or are there any conditions (ex. max 40 hours of work)?

That is exactly my point, why develop for WP7 if you can work with the technologies you want for other platforms which also have a higher userbase? However I suspect that some of the titles from companies such as EA or Gameloft are still wr

You are overestimating XNA. Most (almost all) high quality games for Xbox and PC are written in C++. It is even more likely that they could be ported to iOS or Android more easily due the simple fact that they allow native code. XNA would b

It is a good article, but I think they might overestimate the necessity to have several successful mobile projects under your belt. See http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/11/the-5-myths-of-building-a-g...

At this point, for most developers the choice is Silverlight (.net/c#) and XNA (for games). I think only a limited amount of publishers are able to publish native c/c++ applications.

As of the moment of writing, I do not see HTML5 competing with native games. Especially on mobile devices the performance problems are still to big to make it possible to write the same games as you could write natively. Also I was mentioni

This is comparing apples with oranges. HTML5 games are meant to compete with current flash games, not with native (and far more expensive to create) 3D games like the one in the video. Most of the succesful mobile games are created using a

Game developers don't only use it for speed. Mainly for portability. With c/c++ they can make (portions of their) code run on xbox/ps3/nintendo wii/ds/iphone/whatever.
