will probably run fine in Wine though, all Source-Engine games tend to.

It's just a Twitter clone, that charges users for membership, instead of monetizing them through ads or selling their data. A lot of people think that will lead to a better service, so it got a lot of hype recently.

Yeah knowing about drone strikes may provoke the audience! No need for people to think about stuff like that, they aren't nerds!

So first you say these display got "horrible image persistence problems" and then you say "you wouldn't notice it just like that". So can't be that big of a problem? I have one with a LG panel, and the only time I noticed some ghosting is w

GIMP, tried out a lot of image editors and imho it goes like this: Photoshop > GIMP > Elements > Pixelmator. Pixelmator has a really nice UI, but it's lacking features left and right. Photoshop is still the nicest, especially fo

I think what they mean is, the datacenters actually running Watson would consume too much power. A mobile app with millions of users would require many many instances of Watson running, so 10 racks of servers per instance doesn't sound feas

No please don't think like that. Assange even said today he would agree to go to Sweden, if they promise to not send him to the U.S. He's terrible afraid of being send to the U.S, and rightly so. The U.S. repeatedly demonstrated, that when

So they are adding 176px to the height of the display? Any idea why they would do that? Apple usually goes for something new exciting, when introducing new products. "We made the iPhone5 taller and added a few pixels on top, so it can displ

Well the truth is most people are pretty stupid in that regard. - they don't want to pay $500-$600 upfront, so they rather go with a contract, even though in the end they pay more. - they can't be bothered to buy a phone separate and do the

DateTime code bugs happen all the time, there are so much things to consider and it's hard to test, because the problem conditions might not occur for years to come. Remember this? http://news.cnet.com/new-years-hangover-for-zune-users/ (

don't quantum mechanics stand contrary to determinism? As far as I know there's a certain amount of unpredictably with particles in superposition.

Probably because US events get a lot more media attention. But no, this is happening all around the world. Just look at this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers

I don't think there was a rational motive behind this, or we would have heard about it by now. What the scary truth seems to be is, that these individuals are in a severely distorted state of perception, in which the killing of people becom

Don't you need Lion for the latest Xcode these days? If you're not doing anything in Xcode you might as well boot Linux (or Windows :).

Yeah, the news kinda comes down to: "CERN data centers run Linux", which is cool, considering the work that is done there, but not really that surprising at all ;)

I bought one as my primary work machine for developing iPhone, iPad and Android apps and I can recommend it to any developer of all sorts. This is just a really nice developer machine, I love coding on that thing.

My first impression is nothing of this will probably work if you don't live in San Francisco or New York.

Wow, interesting. Hard evidence that language affects our low level perception of the world. There was always speculation, that different languages influences the way we "think", but I haven't seen such a black-and-white proof yet.

11 years development? I believe D2 came out 11 years ago, but D3 wasn't in development for the last 11 years. They released quite a few other games in meantime. Notably WoW, which kept the whole company completely busy for at least 3-4 year

That's a real flaw, a old 15" MBP with 1680x1050 would practically be a better choice. This is just dumb, that a 2880x1800 display is worse than a 1680x1050 display because of the way the software handles these resolutions. Unless I'm missi

Well I haven't tried it, but I don't think it'll be that bad. You don't really have to use Metro and stuff like Notepad++ still works fine, so I'm sure you can work just fine with it. So what's the big deal?

It sure fits nicely together, but I doubt this was the plan all along. Google general strategy seems to be to collect as much data as possible just in case it might become useful one day. Good decision to load up the StreetView cars not jus

I doubt Microsoft will make a native iOS version of Office. Simply for the reason that they'll have to distribute through the AppStore, meaning Apple will take a 30% cut. I don't think Microsoft would be ok with Apple talking a cut on a pro

Well it depends on execution though. Just 'having' a feature isn't the whole story. For some reason I've the feeling Nintendo is gonna come up with some fun, innovative concepts for their system, that make it appear novel and interesting, w

Could you run a server on this? Something like NodeJS with low casual traffic? Would that work on Android at all?
