You could (and can) get high-quality games for a low price It seems to me that if people were willing to spend more money on quality titles this trend wouldn't exist. High quality AND low price? Seems unsustainable to me.

DAE? Whoops! What is that one? My appeal to the masses? Going off topic? Talking meta?

I know that some people can do this and good on them for doing it, but not everyone will be in the position to do it.

Profit is the only metric. Profit is not the only metric. Market share is a valid metric to compare products (as long as you have a sustainable position). If android was selling five times as many units as apple, but with only 15% the mar

Was the company valueless when it was sold? How much did it sell for? Were the proceeds distributed fairly?

I don't know the full situation, but if each of those who were laid off owned part of the company it seems a little unfair for the majority shareholder to be able to sell the company to himself, leaving everyone else with nothing. What shou

A little meta, but whatever... I am not sure the reason, but the "this" thing really annoys me. Am I the only one?

Yes, the best solution would be cure the disease, but the nursing home staff are not going to be the ones working on a cure. They have a different set of responsibilities than the noble goal of finding a cure for Alzheimer's.

Looking after someone with dementia is a full time job which is very emotionally draining and people can live many years with dementia. A lot of people could not afford to look after their loved ones, economically or mentally. I imagine you

GitHub is great and all, but shouldn't the thanks be directed at the third party library authors?

It is interesting tech and to be sure, but when the target market is "people too cool to be seen wearing helmets" it loses some of the punch for me. I'd be much more interested if the system was a fully body airbag that provides additional

I am not stupid enough to use the same password for multiple accounts I don't consider myself stupid and I used to use the same password across multiple accounts. I changed this practice a while ago but I know that for the vast majority o

I have already requested that Quora delete my account via email (which they did). I might not represent the majority, I am not sure. But I think that it is wrong to say that users will not punish them. People are becoming more jaded with ea

It's a smart move to target the people who are often turned to by family members and friends for advice on buying smart phones.

Whilst it is dangerous to guess at what people were meaning, I understood the 'disclaimer" to mean "I do this for a living so I know what I am talking about". So, if that is the correct interpretation then is not a disclaimer, more a disclo

Whist we're at it I'd love to see the stats for twitter. How many of their users are actually active? Or those active users how many are real people an not bots?

I remember seeing a study investigating the proportion of active accounts, vs. the number of dormant accounts. I think the study found that only about 20% of accounts were active. I can only imagine that the ratio of real accounts to automa

I just bought one and in total it cost $268.99AUD which includes $24.45 tax and $19.99 shipping. Anyway, I think the kids will be pretty happy.

I wonder if the price includes GST (a 10% sales tax)? Still, that's only an additional $20.

Why are we Australians getting ripped off again. 200USD < 200AUD, so why are we getting charged $250AUD?. It's not because of shipping because that is added separately. Even if it was $50 is way too much.

I'm sure they could track you without linking through two accounts together. They also track all link clicks from within gmail. Not saying the tracking isn't bad, just that the account linking had more to do with unifying the Google experie

We really want to go the extra mile with Authic (it's going to be main selling point of outsourcing your webapps authentication with us), so we'll consider adding as many different aspects as possible. And yes, you do have big problems if s

Doesn't that still leave the door open to database compromise? Well, if you have it in the same DB table you are still at the mercy of database compromise. Better would be to store the salts in a separate table from your password hashes.

Having two buttons doing the same thing wouldn't necessaryily be confusing. People would probably not notice. Or how about change the wording to "sign in/up".

But still a good point: Why limit your password length? My online banking is the worst offender that I know. Not only do they insist that the password is no longer than 8 characters, it HAS to be 8 characters. Madness!
