I always wanted to know that from people with experience in Windows dev (and some on Apple platforms). What are the features that XCode doesn't have for C++ development compared to VS? Genuinely interested. Not familiar with VS

I'm not sure about iPad Pro. I think they'll just go with two-window interface for A7+ iPads and maybe iPhone 6 Plus. iPad Pro for October.

I know a lot of people hate Objective-C… But I'm a bit sad we aren't gonna get any updates to it anymore. I loved it, loved it more than C++. It was a very nice approach to C with classes.

I wonder how do they manage Cocoa Touch, OpenGL ES, etc.

I think the author is missing the point of the original article. The point was not that files are going away. It's just that the concept of file is not that important for the majority in 2014. Non-tech people go to Spotify to listen to

There is an interesting development. A five-second rule caused a riot (in the Twitch chat and in the game). So the developer decided to add a system that people can vote whether they want to pass commands directly to the emulator (anarchy)

PowerVR TBDR architecture is great at handling MSAA. I think quite a lot of games will be able to use it (as it was with 4x) http://gdcvault.com/play/1015331/Bringing-AAA-Graphics-to-Mo... (~page 28)

I hope this will get another great push for OpenGL as it was with mobile and web.

Google wins, Apple wins, users win (not right after the release of iOS 6, but still). In general, the decision to remove the old Maps app was good.

There is also an interesting argument between Roger Ebert and Kellee Santiago (the co-founder and former president of Thatgamecompany) on this topic http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/04/video_games_can_neve...

I wonder where those 40 million copies went (no hate here, just interested whether OEMs (or users) buy such incredible volumes in advance).

Opera was number one, two, or number three in Russia and in most of the CIS countries. I think the major reason was that it was pretty fast, and at that time most people had Internet access through a 56k modem. It was ad-supported, but nobo
