What an evil devil you are putting the name of one mini-game of a mini-game collection, that shipped as a bonus to an accessory, in YOUR keywords - thereby harvesting all the hard labor done by Nintendo. Outrage! You absolutely deserve to b

can anyone explain to me, why we need an 128-Bit OS anytime soon? I thought the problem with 32bit was mostly about memory address space and 64bit solved that issue for good.

God, is this the only thing you can comment on after reading the article? Let people use strong language in a blog post or a comment if they want to emphasize a point. We're all grown up and can talk directly to each other - no need to make

Actually Senseo is a product of Phillips, which is a Dutch company, not Italian.

To be honest: There's just no other excuse for the Windows 7 House Party campaign, then Microsoft trying to get the most media attention they can possible get. I'd say its working.

it's only using Chrome's engine if there is a explicit meta tag on the site, so all old IE6 only internal webapps will be fine.

no no, if Microsoft had the browser, that passes Acid and Google had some broken mess you can't even render a diagonal line with, but somehow the vast majority of clueless users would use the Google Browser,.. then.. that would be a perfect

Sorry what are you talking about? There's exactly one ingame cinematic in WoW (Wrath gate) and 3 prerendered once (intro video for each addon & maingame). That's it. The 123 people of the cinematic team at Blizzard produce videos for al

Doesn't really sound like fun. What exactly am I supposed to do at theses places? Yay, I'm sitting alone in my hotel room in Shanghai, now what? Walk around mindlessly and take a look at the surroundings? Gets boring fast I guess. Go into a

Sometimes when I'm stoned I get these "visions" too. Usually they get scrambled down in notepad, just to be discarded and laughed at the next day. Never would advise to blog them immediately!

and because there's easy money to be made there. Well not really easy, but spending a month or so reversing WoW can pay for a nice summer vacation.

Intel is probably one of the most rigorous company's in the IT business today. I believe every word they say on the pricing scheme is true.

Well they sold 50m+ Wiis and 100m+ DS's, how many more do they expect they are going to ship? Also the Wii is kind of lacking good games at the moment and Nintendos announcements at the E3 for this years titles wasn't that exciting either.

So working on weekends, getting smaller salaries, having to code in C++ instead of some high-level language... I don't know, as cool as it would be to do games, I think I rather do lame business software (which can have challenges too!) and

exactly, I'm sick of the "but XP gets the job done"-attitude. Yes, there's no killer feature, that would absolutely demand an upgrade, but all the minor changes and usability improvements add up. I'm kinda annoyed that I have to use a XP ma

yeah but he does have a valid point. Java's IDEs are just so much better than what ObjectiveC has to offer and having a GarbageCollector makes you're code much less error prone and increases productivity. So it kind of does seem like a st

I don't wanna poll anybody, sorry if there was a misunderstandig. I'm not trying to build some Webapp in my spare time here. I've written now tons of PHP in the last 3-4 weeks on an internal project and it's pretty much running and function

For the people that watched the keynote: Kinda funny how they praised JavaScript for an hour and latter, on the AppEngine note they tell us to write Java and let them handle all the conversion to filthy JavaScript :>

Spending a billion just 'to keep AAPL in minds of the executive crowd' would be pretty dumb decision making and would put Apple right on the path of Sun.

Well, in case of retail cards the keys are registered before shipping. You give the manufacture a set of registered keys, which are then printed on the cards. If done right you won't have any issues - that's exactly what people are doing wi

What? No, just store every key that you officially sell in an internal database. Now if someone enters a key you check if it's in your DB, therefore if the key has been legitimately issued. Everything else gets rejected and your now 100% co

I'm really surprised they don't store all sold gift keys in some kind of database and rely solely on an algorithm.
