I worked all the overtime essentially for free. They would serve meals, but after a while I chose not to eat them, as I wanted to eat better than greasy tacos served out of a tub or cheesy pizza.

Depending which state you work, it now is. However, the indie scene is rising again and mini-shops are popping up everywhere. I had an interview at one such place last week. The discarded pizza boxes were stacked at least eight high.

I've also had this pleasure. The, we bought you a five dollar meal, now 'please' work until 10PM (or later). Instead of OT your hourly rate goes to $1.25/hr and your quality of life goes out the door as you amass weight

I worked on a game that sold three times that and never saw one. The parent company was 'retooling the royalty structure' for well over a year, even had people come from corporate to tell us the progress of said monetary division.

Not only should the data be recorded, but it should also be 'live streamed' to the public. I placed live streamed in quotes as I could see the need for some sort of delay simply due to the sensitivity of the information - plus som

Someone once said, the pen is mightier than the sword. What does that then make a link worth? A nuclear warhead?

Regardless of what I think about Bitcoin's longterm significance in the world. I feel this spike in Bitcoins's price might just be Russian mobsters making their money back after the Cyprus nonsense. The timing between the two events is just

Did you not see everyone go crazy on kickstarter for the IPod nano holders last year? I was personally shocked when I didn't see something in the form of wearable computing from them this year, and think that's the next big trend.

Apart from all the problems Adam Lanza had, and the fact he was, I'm sure, drugged up on a cocktail of psychotropics. Can we stop pretending that the gun killed these people and start acknowledging it was a person who killed these people. M

Pretty much.. You knew there had to be a version 2.0 that we had to buy at some point. To be honest, the whole process becomes invalidated when you can now pay via a program called TSA PreCheck ( http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-pre%E2%9C%93%E2%84%A2

As a developer I couldn't agree more.. the App Store is currently an unmitigated mess.

App ranking is also a function of momentum.. while it's great Google Maps has risen so quickly, let's not make this more than what it is.

The war will never end because of how profitable it is. Only if the 'fight' comes here to the states will they ever begin to think about legalizing anything.

Where's Billy Mays? Seriously though.. this only highlights how much better Apple's presentations are. At least they focus on keeping people on stage who know the ins and outs of the tech they are showing. This lady struggled with the term

I went to go use a Windows 8 PC at Best Buy the other day and was shocked. In screenshots everything looks clean, crisp, and modern - then comes the task of using it. I don't understand who at MSFT thought it was necessary to preface every

They don't even make a firm stance in saying that it's worth $15/share. With decelerating growth and the fact they can't figure out how to monetize mobile I have no idea where they figure FB is worth that much. A 47x multiple on these guys
