I think there are 2 markets here that need to be separated when comparing RIM with Apple and Android. Corporate and Consumer. RIM dominates the enterprise/corporate market and as of recent has been trying to break into the consumer market.

I'm curious to know if it's reddit's GUi design/usability or it's content/community that keeps it a growing success. For me, it's their design approach that i enjoy using, especially after reviewing their second project, hipmunk.

You're right. But only to a certain extent. If you are building medium to heavy based JS web apps (without using frameworks like JQuery) JS can throw some unexpected/questioning curve balls along the way, due to the design flaws of how it w

Mortuus, this is a great reply. Thanks for the detailed points. Choosing a character name is something i'll be adding to the game shortly. I definitely agree with regarding the 15 minute wait for turn play. My team decided to go with 15 min

i've been developing in PHP for 6 years now....and i have tried many frameworks. the one i like the most in my opinion is CodeIgniter. CodeIgniter is very flexible and not as strict when it comes to implementing your own code and (libraries
