I was hoping that the internals would be powerful, I want to see 4K games 5 yrs later. I do not think present internals will be able to push that many pixels. pretty sure they wont, but i think that's sort of the point, and it speaks

not sure, but as a wp user that made me sort of happy - probably the first time i've seen that on hn.. my guess would be ease of porting, though that's purely a guess. i am though starting to notice an increase in the number of s

note that this is just my personal opinion (and is in contrast to what seems to be the consensus), but i tend to believe that firms are more efficient in investing excess capital, to drive long-term growth, than shareholders, who have large

yeah, in one of their releases they specifically mention the transaction will be completed using offshore funds. and while i'd generally like to see some movement on policy to encourage large us-based multinationals to bring-home more
