    Fun to have a little play around in, although I'm not sure how much programming I'd get done playing with this ;). http://www.incredibox.com/?music=4F9B48F2E5B02

    Minecraft is still in active development. It may yet (if it isn't already).

    Your new startup designs websites but doesn't have a designer? I don't think you've thought this through.

    There really isn't. Getting the thing to work is the bare minimum.

    Yes, would have much preferred a torrent with a passworded .zip or something similar. Would have been faster too.

    Just purchased and look forward to listening but requiring me to only download 4 albums at a time is rather poor. "Please only download 4 files at a time or you may be disconnected…

    Don't know what the idea is and it's asking for access to information I have on facebook. Sorry, but no.

    I taught myself to code (HTML, CSS, and a small amount of PHP — Wordpress) while I was doing a Graphic Design ND. I think the hardest part for me, like Audrey, was trying to unders…

    I guess the first reason that springs to mind is that spec work is of poor quality. Most designers - I can't speak for artists, but I wouldn't be surprised if they shared a similar…

    Design and art aren't really viewed by most designers and artists as a commodity, which is what sites similar to 99 designs try to put accross. 99 designs and similar are at the ve…

    A great designer would not be seen near such a place. Heck, any self respecting designer would do their best to avoid it. You're buying the time of kiddies equipped with photoshop,…
