True, but couldn't the same be said about the real world to some degree? Everything "new" is based on something existing, right? Even in sci-fi/fantasy movies which are completely wild, completely "out there",

I agree about lack of a "higher goal" in most games, same old basic recipes. I always think of a MMO-type game where you have really well made AI that can attack cities, little villages and things like that. This should happen in

Don't just live for the future. Life happens now, not at retirement. In my experience talking to people who has retired, many are bored and are struggling with purpose. Sure, there are certainly many exceptions. I just mean, don't

Maybe the probblem is that they have too many people working on xcode, too many chefs in the kitchen usually produces mediocre results.

You should dabble in gamedevelopment, lots of room for innovation. Often you'll end up implementing some custom algorithm or solution where there were no previous library X that solved your exact problem. Sure, there are obviously lots

Canvas and webgl is lovely in the way it quickly lets you get something on the screen... Pixel pushing on canvas is, easy and accessible. It makes me wonder if anyone has created some sort of port to a standalone app with no browser involve

Now we just need a way to connect sublime text 2 or 3 directly to the chrome-console, so that when you edit files in sublime, they are magically used instantly without page refresh - now that would be bliss....

Yeah, I mean I certainly hope so, I am kind of tired of facebook, Google+ feels right. It's sort of like when everyone had hotmail, then everyone switched to gmail. What was gmail that hotmail wasnt or didnt have? Well no spam... clean inte

I think this may be partly true, I mean see Google+ as being way more professional than Facebook. If Facebook is the party of Saturday night with lots of cursing and drunk people, Google+ feels more like the Sunday golf session with friends

If it's online, it's not safe, period. Not combination of encryption, or BSD*, or any operating system will make it safe. Why? Human error. Brain surgeons makes mistakes, people die. Pilots makes mistakes, people die. _Everyone_ makes mista

If no one gets before me ill verify today if Nitro is running in WebView / Fullscreen webapps, I would also like to check if webgl is working now but can't check right now, at work. Great news that webworkers are "working" :) I'm sure we'll

.NET bleh. HTML5 is the future, cross platform. JavaScript will be made into a robust language in the coming years, with classes, etc. The crappy DOM will probably change for the better, HTML5 apps will run as local apps and tap into the na

This, this is so true. It's a pity, it's like we have come this far with HTML5 and all, but we just can't get the last 100 miles, where.. a webapp can do at the same speed what a native app can. I'm afraid we wont ever get there, not with c

I highly dislike the fact that native is still more awesome than webapps. It's just not quite there, canvas is slow, webgl is slow to its native counterparts. I mean come on when will this change? Will it ever? Until that day it just feels

This is commercial though right? I mean it's not open source that I can just dl an Xcode project and play around with, it's hosted by them or something like that?

I dont think the poster has valid points really, at the khan academy a student can follow in his or hers own pace, when they want as they want. That is not something that can be done in a lecture room. Also in a lecture room you cant partic

I don't really think the critique of the lens was valid. I don't see the point, "lack of detail?" Maybe it wasn't meant to have detail in the first place? It's like if I would say that "You only used bewels in PS" for your little "drawing",

It was by design, what do you expect if you are "One of those people", that you can be harsh to everyone and everyone is supposed to be polite and delightful towards you?
