I think I was the person who originally proposed to implement the crew control UI in a web browser, and I participated in a week-long retreat in beautiful Bend, Oregon where we imp…

Other games have 'start with partial download' technology. In fact, the core tech of the team that eventually created Valve's Steam was downloading assets on-the-fly so that you co…

The website says you're planning to build your own manufacturing plant. What will that plant do? Will you actually be manufacturing your own medication? If so, would that include m…

It would be better to read the book she wrote, "Bottle of Lies". I highly recommend it.

If you haven't read it, I highly recommend the book 'Bottle of Lies' which was released a few months ago. It details systemic corruption in a number of generic pharmaceutical manuf…

DOTT is a totally free-standing game -- and amazing. They address this in the linked article (also from personal experience) -- you really don't need any context from Maniac Mansio…

Cool, that was actually what I had hoped would happen! It was fun creating public APIs; the ArenaNet leadership was extremely supportive.

Your're probably right, but maybe it doesn't matter? Voice traffic is a diminishing percentage of overall cellular traffic. LTE optimizes for the increasing majority of traffic - d…

I remember seeing this before. I think it's really cool, though in the article I read before one major block to implementing this is that you'd be splitting up group boarding (of e…

Actually, that translation was accurate. :) I found an English version of this article at http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_business/48... Basically, they put up thi…

This is FAKE! http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_business/48... [updated with English article] But it's a really cool, fun idea :) grocery shopping while waiting for …

Yup, you're right!!! Fixed my comment, I get mixed up because I love those companies and both of them have ex-lucasarts people

Double Fine's new game Stacking on xbox live arcade is definitely reminiscent of old-school adventure games, and it's great!

Use KeePass + DropBox or a network share. That's what my company does. KeePass is really solid software. http://keepass.info/

You're still sending the password I entered back to me in an email in plaintext, even if you're not keeping it. This is considered horrible practice. I was excited about your produ…

The description might be sufficient, but it's inaccurate. You can't say AT&T 850/1900 and T-Mo 1700/2100 in one sentence. It's not the same context. You can say AT&T 850/1900 and T…
