I'd sell while it's still in the $40-ish

Am I the only one who thinks people are overreacting? Seems like the whole Internet is on fire over a game, even HN is infected. Servers had a little trouble, but what I'm hearing it's stable now. So why not just wait or buy the game a few

Just report and it surely will get fixed. No need to call it out as "embarrassing". Especially not as an Software Developer yourself, like you never had any stupid bugs in your code, right?

After thinking a little bit about it, I think this approach does make some sense and allows for more flexibility in the future. Keep in mind Lightning was likely designed to last well over a decade and will be used in many different devices

Anymore Info on this? Like what's the scope of the vulnerability and what routers are affected. Don't really want to turn of UPnP, would be a pain.

Wow, Microsoft definitely deserves some kind of award for this. Shipping a tablet, with own hardware design no less, with a 41GB OS is certainly an achievement not every company can accomplish. (sorry I'm just baffled how you can fill up 41

Yeah but prison time, followed by secret service, not allowed to use computers, not allowed to take jobs... for what, compiling a list of email addresses that an public API was happily returning to him? Despite his questionable handling of

Ah my favorite topic, ok here we go: I disagree. Apple fans are the absolute worst. Not want to offend anyone here, but there's a certain type of delusional Apple fans, also known as members of the Apple Cult. The member strongly believes,

Was there ever an actual statement from Valve on this? All I see is a company called Xi3 showing of their computer, while making some vague remarks about having received an investment from Valve - whatever that means. Not to doubt it, but i

You need a power source though once in a while. If you're a college student who walks around the campus all day, working on small desks and park benches I'd get an Air. For everything else, like working around the house or office, definitel

yeah saw that too, but then I got exited and was looking for a ROM download for the Nexus S or 4, but their doesn't seem to be any.

Because 64 KB of RAM should be enough for everybody, right? Common, just because phones seem fast enough for everything right now, there's always the next killer app lurking around the corner waiting for a little increase in performance to

Is it still that way? I quit developing for BB 2 years ago, and at that time the tools were indeed horrible compared to what Android and iOS had to work with. But I know some friends still working in the BB field, and they told me the BB10

oh damn I hope smartphones aren't reaching a peak already in general. Because to be honest every new generation now suffers from diminished returns, and for someone who likes to keeps his money together and still has an iPhone 4 for instanc

heh also claiming while this app is good, Android's version is of course not. Because it's not Google-y, like Google's iOS apps. It's too sterile - Android must be made by some kind of subsidiary, that has nothing to do with the Google, tha

Because the demand for HiDPI desktop displays isn't there yet. You would buy one, and so would I, but overall they wouldn't sell much, compared to the standard 1080p panels. We have to wait another year until Apple introduces Retina iMacs,

Is this some kind of job security on NASA's part? The unspoken goal of these mars missions has always been to find life, so why not make sure the rover has every possible piece of equipment to do so. Unless they want to send another one. Th

nice, you can use these to get some really nice polishing in iOS apps. Thanks for sharing.

Only 60%? 60% isn't really that high of a number to make a point here.

Fun thing to do: you can turn on transcribe audio on Youtube and directly compare how Google's speech recognition tech stacks up against Microsoft's.

PCs are dead, Consoles are dead, Windows is dead, Java is dead, basically everything that's not an iPad = dead.

I think at every workplace, where PCs aren't the main thing workers interact with while working, but rather only assist them, tablets will eventually replace PCs (for example hospitals, schools, workshops or retail). But if the work consist

It's really bad practice. We all want to get stuff done, but don't complain when you end up in spagethi code hell. Some people are going to see that and think that's an ingenious use of comments, and then start to do the same in everything

Also every 3rd party app using MapKit is stuck with Apple's maps. Google would need to release a GoogleMapKit iOS-Library for 3rd Party apps. iOS limitations are really showing now, it 's so disappointing to see Apple making things worse (n

I can't believe ScanBox raised almost $200,000. People will throw their money at goddamn empty cardboard boxes if you make a nice marketing video.

What, how's programming like writing stories? Writing multithreaded database access is exactly like writing a story about a school of wizards, right. The only thing these have in common is that you use a keyboard to type them. Like with man

Some insecure apps and services use the UDID as a way to identify users. For example you can get some profile data from OpenFeint with the UDID. There are probably a ton of other small things like this, but overall I wouldn't worry too much

I think it might be great for kids, from what I've seen most teenager these days don't use computers a whole lot anymore and rely on their phone as primary internet device (for messaging, chatting, email and browsing). So they might stumble
