    It's a shame you're being downvoted, hopefully constructive feed back will eventually bubble to the top. There was a similar submission yesterday where this occurred. Clearly there…

    It's no surprise, it's classic middlebrow dismissal that plagues most submissions these days, particularly design based ones. Thankfully 'flat' or 'skeuomorphic' aren't mentioned i…

    Take a look LowEndBox, and the related forums LowEndTalk. The first site collates prices/deals, where you can filter by location. They also carry out a quarterly survey as an attem…

    Pinterest does scroll downwards (infinite scroll as well). And he's right, it prompts the user to scroll down out of curiosity. IIRC Apple have employed this technique in the most …

    For 512MB/1GB Droplets in their EU location (Amsterdam) they have run out of IPs. I was planning on switching to DigitalOcean but that is holding me back at the moment. And since y…

    Ugh, the word 'hipster' should be banished, along with the word 'fanboy'.

    Websites built entirely in Flash are horrible in most cases. You also cut out a massive section of mobile users that can't use your site when on the go. Check here for some tips sp…

    Because on the whole they publish some very good games, even the most staunch EA detractor can admit that. The vocal minority isn't an accurate representation of the millions that …

    For anyone wondering how the 'Worst Company in America' is decided upon, check here http://consumerist.com/2013/03/18/here-are-your-contestants-... . So it's basically a bracket. N…

    I agree, those dotted grid books can be quite costly, especially if you tend to burn through a lot of paper fast. I recently came across this site that let you print your own dotte…

    It's not pedantic at all, I thought the same. I have no idea why it's necessary at all. In fact why not get rid of the blog spam altogether and link straight to the code. Yes, I re…

    I don't understand all the negativity and dismissal in these comments. The only thing I am not a big fan of is the transition when you hover over an example. Apart from that, I thi…

    As usual with 'anonymous sources/insiders' it's all complete conjecture. The only people that truly know are EA/Maxis. EDIT: Seems people disagree that this isn't complete guesswor…
