I apologise if I came across as rude, I thought I was making simple informative statements. Here is the rest of the comment: > 3. Most of the complexity is hard complexity that has to be there to process rules. Rules are way more complex

Author here: 1. Yes, but you are watching sausage being made. Previously the platform owners would just come on stage and announce the new version of framework (think MFC, WPF, Android, Cocoa, UI Touch) and say "go play with it".

In Croatia you get fines for not having a valid fire extinguisher even though there is one in the corner right there. Why? Because "they went out of their office and cannot return empty handed, so let's write this small fine at le

Just my line of thought. If capitalism, regulated or not, leads to neo-feudalism, maybe that society is actually the target for which capitalism is just a catalyst.

This failed to go beyond Flat UI concepts, it merely compared iOS and Android guidelines. It's more of a "contemporary Flat UI design". When viewed that way, it actually is a good article.

I really dislike this UI concept. It is completely non-discoverable and when paired with "pull to refresh" it is hard to guess what the pull down gesture do. Drawer is a better concept IMHO - it informs the user that there are so

As I've already said a couple of times, the dependency on the cloud is troublesome for lots of reasons. I don’t want to “wait for authentication” every time I go play offline single player games, I just want to play the game! Why shoul

I agree, but giving people something and later taking their money when they are hooked is a proven strategy.

They could divide users in two camps - those who want the old system and those who want the new system. If buying used games is good for you (e.g. you are living in country with less income than average American), don't enable the feat

Finally! Let's hope that there is no firmware or update that will reverse this policy. The only issue that now remains is that the console is limited to 21 countries. This region-lock limitation prevents me from giving money to Microso

Well, Steam is actually more convenient than torrenting. You don't have to search for the correct torrent, test it, trust it, and so on. Find a game, pay it, download it, play it.

I think that convenience wins over pirating. Just recently I bought Far Cry 3 after finishing the pirated version. What I discovered is that having DRM in the normal, paid version is completely annoying. I would gladly pay for any service w

Why would I have to calculate the future sale of any game I buy into the price I pay for the game? I pay for the games so that the developers can continue making games I like for me. Do you want to play more games from the creators of the g

This is just pure gold. When I was younger, I always pirated stuff because I didn't have the money nor the means. But today, my Steam collection is worth over a 1000 dollars and I buy more games I could play. It hurts me when people my age

This article is a little bit one sided. So what if most side projects never succeed? You can always learn a lot by attempting to do a large scale project yourself. Most real-life projects are large scale legacy projects that you are simply

This is a battle they (advertisers) simply can't win. If they increase the number of ads for Firefox users, Firefox installation might suggest ad-blocking software to users. If we have a "browser choice screen" as a punishment for Microsoft
