this is the best possible move for the platform. customers win when they can play great games that they feel are a reasonable price. OUYA is giving devs freedom to experiment with different ways to pay. the best games and ways to pay will float to the top.

who has apple litigated into bankruptcy? the only major litigation from apple has been with samsung, and they're not bankrupt. I think you're full of bee ess. In short, links or it didn't happen.
no that's not what you said at all, you said, it would be inconvenient for you to carry a second pair of glasses, so you would keep them on regardless of how uncomfortable it makes everybody else. anything else would be "silly".
I guess the option would be to carry a pair of regular glasses along with the expensive Google Glass, which then seems very silly.
So in a social situation, taking them off wouldn't work too well.
well then prepare to be ostracized in a lot of situations. prepare for people to treat you rudely. because your social situations will end rather abruptly
no, but we ostracize and shame the people who own and wear them so they are embarrassed to be seen with their wearable tech. kinda like what we're doing now with the glassholes.
Um, nice revisionist history there. Unfortunately reality and the internet disagree with you.
he's pretty much right. gas and milk are $4/gal. if the dollar were even with the peso and there were a zombie apocalypse, fox news would be blaming obama and illegal immigrants.
interesting point that, in addition to the problem of creepy govt mass surveillance, this also has creepy domestic military surveillance. double creeps.
+1 grain of truth. it's kinda like ageism but not really. I have the most success when I do my best to make myself look fit, healthy, and fashionable (in a way that is appropriate for the setting). If I were a male model who could code I could get any job I wanted. It's not discrimination per se, it's just that we've been all trained to like pretty people and pretty things.
you are obviously a pro. but there is so much bullshit in my office where people make jobs for themselves by building then maintaining stupid spreadsheets. For example, excel has the filter / sort controls, so it's easy to order or pull out anything you want. but some fucker "improves" this by writing a code that filters and drops a button on the spreadsheet that the boss man can click. then it doesn't work so the coworker gets more work. then there's a change to the spreadsheet (additional column, e.g.) so the code has to be revised again. And all this time spent making VBA? It doesn't contribute a god damned thing to solving the problems we deal with.
Be a ninja, people. get in, get out, don't make a mess, don't touch VBA when you can do it simpler.
I agree, any time you use a macro or VBA script you have failed. there is always a simpler approach that depends on logically structuring your document and using correct formulas.
An exception I saw was a document from the EPA that is a way for truck companies to calculate their emissions. It's all done with form inputs and display boxes, there's not a single spreadsheet involved. It's essentially a standalone VB application, but running within excel. not gonna lie, i was impressed.
there is no program that compares to excel in ease and powerfulness of use. it scales crazy-like in complexity from being a fancy calculator to being a platform for VBA scripts. that being said...
the best thing STEM kids can do is to learn how to properly use excel. the number of times I've seen people who consider themselves "excel wizardzzz" who have all sort of badly designed broken time wasting crap. if you use excel well you're like a zen samaurai. you can defeat any problem with a few simple moves.
++1 here. to the extent that google has free bs web apps, apple also has free bs web apps that you can use from any computer. the difference is you're not tied to chrome crap. also, apple makes high quality desktop programs as well.
why should I think that apple isn't farming data like google? the only reason google does it is because there are metric tons of cash to be made. I don't see how apple has any profit motive to exploit their customer data. in the limited use of iAds, the industry hates them because apple refuses to share any identifying info.

+1 clever. I agree we should re-name "free to play" as "pay to win".

and yet people wear their apple earbuds and talk into the mike on that. how is that any different?
that's great for the people wearing the glass but sucks for the people not wearing the glass. the rest of us would prefer that nobody wear the glass.

yes, key-loggers are vulnerabilities.
I haven't played any final fantasy games since FFII on the SNES. why are there so many?

my favorite feminist is Aria Stark.
\who else is still a big player in test gear, ignoring the one-hung-low companies?
I don't know what this means, but I too am hung low.
i don't really see any feminist activities these days, only people blaming feminism for stuff.

Is the website of the New Braunfels Republican Women blocked by both Blue Coat and Smartfilter because it has the word "women" in the title?
Braunfels sounds like brothels?
