At first glance it looked like there might have been a significant enough performance hit using hardware encryption the took it out. It didn't seem like a big deal. TFA makes it sound like encrypted email I pull from my email server is stored decrypted. That would be a big deal.
They could always make it easy to learn how to fiddle with instead of trying to make it meet their concept of good. I hold up the reaction to the Gnome Shell as an example of what can go wrong. Free software is free to me because it has helped me to write software. There is nothing that makes me feel more free than having my apps and content on my servers to be accessed at will. Well, except when my ISP decides it is file sharing or I'm using too much bandwidth.
Out of 2,750 titles tracked 4% were interesting/playable to gamers using steam. I wonder why people are discouraged about buying games without playing them first.
That 4%, the top 110 games, have made approximately $8,000,000,000. And that is just 50% of the sales numbers, "represents about 50 percent of the registered sales on the service". It doesn't sound like piracy is making much of a impact to me.
Now aliens can swoop down and destroy the two cities I finally got updated with a wooden wall. I can't wait! Anyone know what tech in the tech tree comes after pottery? I don't expect I'll get that far in the new version either.
By "free to play" I thought it was like this actual good games that are free. Not that tossing them a few $20 for the games wouldn't be a cool thing to do, they are free games to play.
Comcast starts out against Yahoo! and Facebook, two complete weenies compared to the companies Time Warner had to beat get the spot. Take EA, Koch, and Salie Mae, and put them in a blender and you won't get a mixture. All 3 turds have the exact same stink and consistency. It says a lot to see Monsato come out dirtier than a company that fought its way through that pile. Time Warner totally should have won.
If a personal gaming device, like a PSP or Genesis, was released built into a VR headset people would buy it. I don't know if it would be the next big thing; but, I can see it being sufficiently successful.
15 years ago Yahoo! destroyed broadcast.com, something that was better than YouTube will ever be. Now they have decided to start broadcast.com minus the in-house professionals that encoded and streamed the content for you. In April 1999, Yahoo! acquired the company for $5.7 billion (or over $10,000 per user) in stock and renamed it...
Run a minimalistic Linux box? Check. Put software on a virtual disk so I can chroot with a restriction to the device? Check. Build software statically linked to the libraries in the build directory so they don't need access to the rest of the system? Check. Know that it would be popular and might make monies? Doh!
I used to tell people working for a startup was the best experience they will ever have. My first two were great. However, I've been burnt twice too. After dedicating every waking hour to a startup only to see it get sold and not getting anything but the salary while you've worked there is bullshit. The only thing I can say about being a startup employee now days is, "Get in writing that you are a partner". If they say no, walk away. Don't ever believe someone will give you a fair share out of the goodness of their heart. Those people have moved on to owning basketball teams or starting new companies with really stupid names so all they do all day is golf.

The tech industry needs duct tape! Duct tape will keep anything from fracturing.

What if the robots get settled in then don't let us follow? Will there be a war?
Feed me!

According to steam:

Wouldn't the refresh rate be the greater factor over resolution in reducing latency? I don't see the connection with resolution and latency.
\o/ internet pr0n is going to be even better!

I've been dreading having to roll that big'ass barrel of unused XP CD's out the door. That thing is freakin heavy.
Where is the large Navy port in Texas? Where is there water deep enough for a ship in New Mexico.

You say that like its a bad thing.
I would think that would be obvious since "all the good people" go to Yale.

I think the areas involved tells a story of its own. Check out the map of participants at the bottom.
