Looks interesting. On first glance it does appear similar to Trine though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trine_(video_game) Which I wasn't a big fan of... anyone know if that's the case?

one of the article's comments links to pastebin that appears to be the source code already posted - as of last night

Favorite quote "Possibility is mistaken for demand."

Yeah and I'd agree there as well. There are plenty of places where land is too expensive and developers buy up property for speculation and not for building or community value.

So congrats on the fact the market does what it does? I'm not anti-capitalist, obviously products deserve market value, but that doesn't mean I'd cheer on something that makes startup's lives harder.

I don't know why this is considered a good thing - a congratulatory post that the domain owner could get a million dollars for a site name?

It's an example of excessive domain name costs, which - exactly as smackfu is saying - hampers startup's flexibility with names.

Has anyone heard more than rumors about whether Windows Mobile will support the Adobe AIR platform?

This is what I'm wondering, too--- does everyone have to do self promotion or will there be a global directory/search capability?

Yes, the point seems to be exactly that --- how ridiculous the terms of use are which prevent a media review, acting as if they are competitors.

Why would a (seemingly) strong, funded business-startup be scared of competitors using their service? Is their business model that precarious?

definitely, when they are paired they can just suck up lines of other ants... it's really cool to watch

these do, however, look like they would be tougher to fill with air for bachelorette parties.

This sounds like one of those phenomenons that suffers when too many people find out about it.

The more it's written about, tested, and the more people in the disgruntled minority (or majority) with what appears to be the statistics on a given Monday --- the less accurate this'll likely be on Tuesday... rest of the time.

It sounds like a clever idea to get people's attention and I imagine that investing $100 to populate a list of potential candidates is much much cheaper than headhunters -

but I have to wonder if it'll be as successful as the greplin challenge and its ilk, which come across as more "game-y" tests and less transactional.

I know a baby girl who received a transplant last week as a result of a match - after MONTHS of searching, thankfully.

Of course I'm sorry to see this story, but definitely important to publicize these drives for donors. Even if you're not of South Asian descent it's a good idea to get on the registry!

Shouldn't they at least have a link to their twitter account on the news brief?

Agreed Robin - it's likely that the person operating the twitter account for most huge companies has minimal, if any, interaction with IT/security and its lingo.

Speak plainly people.

yep, credit that the guy partially tried - but prefacing your first interaction about a serious issue by "I'm not available [to contact through most of the usual communication methods]" is sort of self-defeating.

Knew he was sick, but wasn't expecting this.

The world has lost a unique and brilliant technology-business-design leader, the likes of which are few and far between.

For real? Sadly, knew he was sick, but wasn't expecting this.

The world has lost a unique and brilliant technology / business / design leader, the likes of which are few and far between.

$5,000 for signed transcripts of the trial... $100,000 for the courtroom sketch?

interesting, but this kind of thing is bound to take years... would the player eventually have to wear a full body suit to achieve the effect? or could a hand system stimulate effects that could effect sensation elsewhere in the body?

yep that's a fantastic video

My penny might not be worth much, but the name's quite a mouthful, on first impression.

There's not much here, basically a pointer to Indeed.com - a site I happen to like - but why do we need to go to AVC to see it?

his server seems to get overwhelmed...

It's unclear (at least in this article) whether the legislation makes much headway in the "little guy" vs. "patent troll" problem.

Will this allow companies to file like crazy--everything under the sun--and block the "first-to-invent" people? Or would the change allow smaller companies more power once they file so bigger companies can't come along later and claim something had really been invented earlier that was similar...?

my favorite part is the "optional confirmation overlay"

Yep, there's not really a good explanation of what beginner/intermediate/advanced means. Also it seems interactions are rated--- meaning what? Ability of speaker in said language? Interestingness of speaker? Whether they are normal?

Second that --- same reason a baseball that Derek Jeter hits passing a league milestone is worth more than the one we buy for a few bucks in the store. It's all in the story.

It's random but likely that I even know who the guy is he's referring to; he's just stands out that much (AA initials?). He's a good storyteller but what makes him even more successful is that he's passionate about what he's selling--- a connection to the holyland--- not dirt.

The text of the article is a fair rehash on the topic and attempts to sound relatively measured, but the title sure doesn't.

Second that. Words are empty, but this sounds like real action... insurance (especially retroactive) + 24 help + more overall support service - all that hits the nail on the head of the problem. This was the response people (or at least ME) were waiting for.

Good luck Airbnb.
