I've asked myself the same question after recently playing Battle Isle 1 again... Seems to me like the learning curve of modern games was so much shallower. But this is of course only one example and not representative as such.

LIES! There's a link at the bottom of the first page that says "More..."

Nice one, indeed!

Designed in USA, crafted somewhere cheaper, and finally sent back to the US so it can be sold to you for a prodigious amount of money. Hell yeah, I'll buy one.

Great :)

Where would I put my groceries? :)

lol, "This webpage is not available"

Interesting read, thanks.

Good point, came here to say the same.

+1. <black humor>Next time they remove Dropbox because it might be a conflict of interest with iCloud. And then...</black humor>

"Save as" overwrites the original file as well like "Save" does? OMGWTF

There's a lot of unfair or simply untrue comparisons in that post.

If you'd like to download a higher quality version there's a link to the full video in MP4 (H.264, MP3 96kb/s) underneath the embedded vimeo player.

IIRC the sensor uses optical flow and hence doesn't measure speed "directly" -- in spite of the fact that the article states so at its very beginning. Anyway, this technique is kind of promising and I'm curious to see the future results.

Really really nice.

It should be added that this of course only concerns floating point math.

Let's just hope that meanwhile the developers got it right and those games can be installed on case-sensitive filesystems. IMO this is a huge problem with game software on OS X, even Steam f* it up when recently they approached the Mac.

Did anyone else notice how the blue-ish marker lags behind the actual position of the piece during playback? Having that in a demo is kind of ridiculous...

"Is Windows 7 finally halting the Mac migration?"

-- No, Steve Jobs is!

I find it particularly interesting that he breaks down the number of neccessary cases to only 4 compared to the standard explanation found everywhere else.

Well, thanks, I was just about to take Okasaki's paper and see what an implementation in Scala would look like.

No, sir. :)

With an iPod-like restricted OS? No, thank you.

Wait -- they do not boot without a monitor attached? Apple can't be serious about this. I just lost a little faith...

Incredible! Both thumbs and both big toes up!

You probably mean "window manager" instead of "OS", right?
