I'm sympathetic to what he's saying. It is painful to develop lots of separate platforms. But I work making games. And so this promised land is still way over the horizon. We're only just getting to the point where a HTML5 game can be notab

I don't see a way of distinguishing between bad behaviour and discussing taboo topics. They're so often the same thing - consider flat out racism or misogyny for example. An things get even more complicated when you consider /b/-like levels

This used to be Google's approach. Make a shit-ton of things, see which ones caught on, then expand them. 20% time, Google Labs etc were all expressions of this. Which they've been moving away from now - as Larry Page says, they're "putting
