Right, and because they don't suck, most consumers never investigate their claims of being the best by researching alternatives, and simply settle with products that don't suck.

Are you also saying, like I was, that apple are Good At Marketing?

Online Multiplayer has been hands down the biggest problem I've had to deal with while working on Wyv and Keep (plug: htp://www.wyvandkeep.com). It's still buggy as hell, because I still have no idea what I'm doing, I'm spending plenty more time fixing it before we release on Steam, because the current implementation is Not Good Enough.

I'd estimate it's at least doubled the dev time, if not more, due to the amount of stress and extra work it's caused, having to refactor the codebase in order to support it (arguably resulting in much better code, but that's really irrelevant if the game works well), and added years to the dev time due to having to spend the odd weeknight and weekend trying to remember the complexities of it. And this is for a relatively simple game!

My single best piece of advice to rookie indie devs thinking of adding it, especially when they have no prior experience with, is this: Don't. It's not worth the trouble.

*They're successful because the end consumers believe the marketing propagation that they are the best.

C# - black leather, but without the studs. Not as cool, but a safer choice for a corporate environment.

Mono's licensing decision actually makes sense now; hampering the free version of Mono with the contagious GPL license effectively means that you're required to pay if you want to use their software in a commercial fashion.

Very disappointing that Unity haven't upgraded yet, hopefully they'll do so soon.

Is there any option whatsoever for Unity to use future versions of Mono, or does the GPL corruption in more recent versions mean that they're legally stuck with an outdated version?

No, it's not unfortunate at all, you idiot. Anyone who harbours hateful beliefs is not A Nice Person, nor should they be anywhere near a position of leadership.

Since you obviously need assistance with your flawed thinking, you can start by recognising that your argument would hold identical merit and positioning were he a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

It is great that people are being ostracized for having primitive, hateful beliefs, and society is making it known that demented opinions such as this will not be tolerated, and that a carrier of such beliefs taints everything they are associated with.

I hope this results in people boycotting javascript too; that atrocity has long outstayed its' welcome.

This time the technology is mature enough to support the vision, and isn't laughably poor and expensive.

Bill Gates has already won at Money, why do you think he'd still be interested in playing?

I'll offer four dollars for 80% of their shares.

Probably a similar circular diagram system, except replacing pizza diameter with waist diameter.

Much of an improvement that Windows 8 is, this doesn't surprise me - There is no -need- to upgrade to it over Windows 7. It's not like the difference between XP and 7, where users were upgrading from an ageing buggy mess (or in the case of upgrades from vista, just a buggy mess).

I'm going to make the assumption here that you would not be happy with your government installing and monitoring surveillance cameras in your home bathroom.

This isn't really all that different; it's just your private communications being observed, instead of your private parts.

I don't think many would miss Bing, but killing off the Surface, Windows Phone, and especially the Xbox, to focus on being another Oracle? What a pair of fuckwits these moron 'investors' are! I can think of no better way to give a company like them a slow 10-20 year death. Somebody should fire these poison shareholders.

This is false, they broke even midway through the 360's lifespan and are now turning a profit both on it and the xbone.

If by "artists" you mean "people who buy the rights to the work created by artists for a pittance, and then use it to extort others attempting to create something worthwhile from it", then sure.

You may be content with a 10 inch screen, but I live in a flat of 24-28year olds, and my xbox sees more use as a youtube player than it does as a gaming device. My flatmates are content to search for things using the awful controller text input to play them on the tv rather than use the laptops sitting right in front of them. I'd tell them about SmartGlass, but I doubt they'd use it.

So they're developing a camera with less than half the resolution of the already released 41mp Lumia 1020 camera?

Shouldn't they be aiming a little higher?

Nice job with the flippant, demonizing dismissal there, especially when it's commented to an opinion piece describing how feminists use exactly these tactics to stifle dissenting opinion.

What I've personally observed and experienced is that feminism has more to do with generating outrage and disempowering all men, and any women that don't agree, than it does addressing any kind of gender inequality issues.

I believe that aligning one's opinions to a named movement instead of thinking for oneself is a subscription to dogma, and relinquishment of free though to the collective.

What Microsoft should probably be doing instead, is writing some software layer to enable running apps based on a certain popular open-source operating system to run seamlessly on their device alongside native apps. If they did, it wouldn't be the first time MS has written a better Java VM than the official implentation.

Because games that aren't shit require buttons.

It's a poor workman who blames his tools.

I'm not really sure that dropping dual-HDMI, tri-Ethernet and hexa-USB is such a big loss for a videogame console.

Speed of reading is not a benefit; I prefer careful comprehension to quick comprehension.

Weren't us tech-savvies already supposed to be boycotting godaddy because of their support for SOPA?

They'll have their work cut out for them making a more compelling product than dropbox.
