Those are definitely two of my favorites. Funnily enough, a few days ago there was a discussion about the most memorable space ships. Mine was "Yggdrasil" :).

I run a sci-fi/fantasy blog with a few other people where we review books etc. So are you looking for more action/adventure type sci-fi, hard sci-fi, space opera, loads of alien life, etc?

Ha ha! Brilliant! CGI Scripts anyone? Unfortunately I remember very well the days when it all started to become popular. I created my personal Web page in '94 hosted on the University's servers. 2 years later I was creating Web ap

Are you looking for something similar? It's not easy to recommend something based on a single book but have a look at Vicious by V. E. Schwab, This Perfect Day by Ira Levin or Wool by Hugh Howey.

This has been my experience as well. Many tabs = MacBook is burning like a second sun. Sometimes I restart Chrome and it's better. So maybe some of it is caused by leaky scripts on pages etc. but it's very annoying.

$40/user - $345m/employee Truly amazing! If you remember the days when JBoss was acquired by Red Hat, this is the same "value" as one JBoss per Whatsapp employee. Incredible!

This is a great initiative! I've been a long time IntelliJ IDEA user, among some other JetBrains products such as AppCode, Resharper, etc. They know how to build tools and it is money well-spent.

Very interesting. I'll give it a try when I get a chance. However the limiting factor for a lot of people would be as described in the last section: According to the Google Play Developer Program Policies ( http://play.goog

I think most (if not all) people would agree with that sentiment. That's why I humbly think that Apple should concentrate in improving their search and maybe implementing better profiling or a better review system. Just because App Sto

I'm sorry. I should've been clearer: If one doesn't like them then one doesn't have to play. "You" was not directed to your person. ;)

But I think there lies the problem. If you leave it to "someone" or to "some entity" then you get a one-sided impartial judgement of what constitutes "good". Your list is full of big hits. This means that the m

Malicious apps? Fair enough. This is not news, though. I'm pretty sure most of those apps are not malicious. They're just very similar to Flappy Bird.

Now, this is the question, isn't it? I don't have a solution for it. Not yet, at least :). But in doubt, I would trust a community rather than a controlling entity.

This God-like behaviour makes me cringe. This type of bans and restrictions exist as a result of poorly managed and/or poorly designed system. Ideally any moderation should be part of the ecosystem and the decision making should belon
