This is spot on. Also if you want to be a shader guru, not knowing higher math will prevent that. Games are probably rare in the software world in that math is actually used a lot.
This is an insanely cheap way for them to get software developed for their brand. A straight $100k with no significant % of income is a rip off for the developer in this market. A good branded Pong app will make millions. A similar brand only gets about 20-25% of the sales. But I'm sure they'll get plenty of entries. Ah well, to be young and ignorant again.
I can only speak as a game developer, but I have yet to be pointed to a game on the App Store that didn't make any money but had all the pieces together to be a commercially successful game.
I saw an article on Slashdot about the recent Olympics streaming using a network called Limelight. Sure enough, the democratic convention is using it too. There may be some Flash based solution similar to this, but Limelight seems like a viable option to stream live video to a LOT of people.
Seriously, what's a better cross platform option for streaming video embedded in a web page? There's Flash, Silverlight, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Windows Media Player to choose from. The last three (or four) seem to be in the "old/nasty" and "eww" category. All aren't very Linux friendly. RealPlayer and Flash I guess are officially supported. All choices probably won't work on Linux to a significant degree with random codecs and features not being supported on Linux. Am I missing anything?
The largest thing I'm missing from 4e are lots of spells for the Wizard. Looking through them, the majority of them are boring XdY damage of Z type with some pretty lame names. Where's my Grease spell, or my Summon Monster spell, or Feather Fall, or Spider Climb, or that spell that creates a big talking sword to sit in front of me and fight? Did I miss something? I hope so! The wizard, it needs more flavor.
And as for 4e, sounds like they That about sums it up. Pretty please don't ever give 4e a try so you don't ever form an opinion grounded in your experiences.
Did I miss it, but how exactly is the Wii connecting to the server? I never saw any ability like that in my Wii, unless it's just going through the web browser.

Maybe it isn't fingerprint related but is a giant needle that stabs into your hand to perform a blood test. Shudder.
I just thought you should know you're wrong.

Han didn't shoot first. Han just shot. Greedo died. Get it right!

So where is the game that's really good but not making a lot of money here?

Happy trails and thanks for being my first site and shockingly still one I visit regularly.
Did anyone else expect the video to lead into this at the end? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRhPM2wMzH8 Just checking.
Probably not.
Probably not.

Yep, saw that after I posted.
Oh. Nevermind.
This type of application is specifically disallowed by Apple. It won't see the light of day.
Wonderful examination of 4e. Thanks!
Here's a fixed one that uses utf-8:

Sameish idea: DeImg from The Daily Grind Network.

I really hope you don't pay for cable/satellite television.
Make sure and gargle with egg whites before you walk into the doctor's office?
Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm sick of shark/laser jokes. No offense personally intended, just to the whole meme.
