    I used the Chrome extension for a few months and the OCR was never very accurate. Even giant, clear block letters were often not recognized.

    The phone performs poorly, and the excuse is to blame the "impatience" of Americans? This comment reads like a sarcastic "It's not a bug, it's a feature." If the phone is terrible …

    If you're doing any work at all with .NET, Visual Studio is the greatest IDE in the world. Believe it or not, people can be productive without a command line--especially if you can…

    I don't know the details about which parts of the simulation are run locally and server-side, but the fact that your cities are "always on" (i.e. other players' cities can trade an…

    I was worried about DRM, but the beta convinced me it was worth it. Server-side simulation processing makes the game run lightning fast.

    I agree, its simulation has depth that rivals Civilization V. And even better, the game's simulation is run on the Maxis servers so it doesn't lose speed with larger cities. Sim Ci…

    I definitely agree about VS. Microsoft got a bunch of heat for VS2012, but it's been their best release yet. Their IntelliSense support for C# is unmatched by any other language-ID…

    Gabe Newell is a vocal critic of Microsoft and Win8, and Valve is sitting on piles of money. This is the least likely of these scenarios.

    Thanks for the livecoding link. I assume there's some overhead in constantly checking for and applying code changes - that's probably the reason for the lower frame rate.

    I enjoy the aesthetic of Windows 8 and was really excited to start messing around with app development as a new hobby project. The WinRT API, though... it's very bare. Perhaps I wa…
