IMHO, the main difference would be in the "marketing points," in the sense that they'll attract different kind of people. While technically it's possible for castAR to do what Oculus does, Carmack and Elsworth names alon

8tracks.com boiled down to single tag? Feedback: the player panel, instead having tabs for Now Playing / Queue, why not move the tabs below the player buttons, and have Comments / Queue tabs.

From screenshot, I think digg reader is more minimal (minimaler?) than this.

Stopped using reader since Flipboard. But after the death of Reader, I find myself using Digg reader instead of Flipboard. I love that popularity dots . So I guess I'm glad Google off'ed Reader, at least for me.

This seems cool. But I'm still confused whether or not the name is insulting.

Thank you, great list and kudos to those who produce the screencasts. But man, screencasts will date fast. I learned a lot from [Node Tuts]( http://nodetuts.com/ ), like how to use expressJS and MongoDB using Mongoose. Now al

I think part of iOS 7 task is to create buzz. And it's doing it successfully (with hundreds of votes and comments on this and Marco Arment's thread). The last few iOS iteration, for lack of a better word, has been boring. At this

I guess ultimately, Marco's just a good guy. Under him The Magazine as a product probably would stagnate like Instapaper did. Then he would have sold it anyway. And, advisory role usually means a decent chunk of shares too. With what Glenn

Another vote for convenience. As others here, I've bought games I haven't played and I can't recall any digitally purchased games that I never played. Even though in this particular case, I can log into humble bundle and see a list there. B

Agreed. I'd imagined a site like Stack Overflow would have a very high bounce rate.

Cute. Not something I'd ever use, but cute. Overall it works, but it seems it can't pick up the word "one" and "reviews". Or it's me who can't speak those words right. Kept getting "Xbox ones you" and "Xbox won the fuse"

This is a super confusing move from Microsoft. First, don't they want indie game developers to jump to Windows phones and tablets? I'd presume Microsoft could (if not already) let developers to code once and publish everywhere that speaks M

It's more on distributors than theater chains. I believe by giving first dibs to a good distributor will allow the movie to be released internationally (either on cinema or bluray / DVD) easier and faster.

Twitter did this to themselves. Without the limit, this information is worthless. It'll make sense for an app like Tweetro[1] to add custom token as a feature or easter egg. 1: http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/11/3631108/tweetro-user-toke..
