Good tips. I don't think I will have available resources for demos -- i.e. this is a generic "career day" talk, not something for computer class. So I may be limited to what I can show on an iPad. I f…

This is interesting, but the article was posted two days ago. Why is it just now making its way to the top of HN? I was thinking it just happened, until I get to the update at the bottom stating EA no…

> And to get us back in your good graces, we’re going to offer you a free PC download game from the EA portfolio. > I know that’s a little contrived – kind of like buying a present for a fr…

The fundamental problem with Sim City is that it is historically a single-player, offline experience. And it didn't help that this is the first true Sim City we've seen since 2003 (Sim City 4) and man…

No, I didn't say that at all. I simply said comparing this to a web app is not apples-to-apples.

This is not a web site, it's a game. It is marketed and sold as a game. It isn't even being marketed/sold as an MMO. For the most part, people think this is a single player experience with some multip…

Am I the only one seeing: > Disconnected from server... UPDATE: This had something to do with my login. I just logged out and back in, and was able to get in.

Yeah, I definitely agree that this is a big step from anything I've seen thus far. This was more to kick off a discussion about "are we there yet?", and if not, what is still missing? I mean, I know w…

I upvoted this because it is awesome, and it is, well... Bomberman. But I'm genuinely curious: at what point will we stop being fascinated by what can be done in HTML5, and actually start focusing mor…

As a parent, bullying -- or any type of oppressive actions on my children -- is something that terrifies me. Not because I want to shield my children from the world and its negative impacts -- because…

I think this is a big factor, and why I think this is a really bad UX. I've actually considered this method of authentication in the past, but the only thing this fixes is this site having to remember…

> The flu "vaccine" however, is at best 50% effective and is frequently 0% effective. This earned you a downvote. I don't know that you're wrong, but you can't make a claim like this without some…

I appreciated this post, and it's good timing considering I've felt lost in my career for at least a year. I switched jobs 6 months ago, and am already considering changing again. I've had several int…

I was disappointed to see it end (at 10000). :(

All of what you've listed is just repeating the same point: iOS hasn't changed much since its inception. But you're still not answering the question: what needs to change? Don't get me wrong, it's not…

I need to know your secret then. About three years ago, I purchased my first Mac. It was an early 2009 iMac. Before then, I had only owned a Windows machine, and like you, I was also incredibly inve…

Why is this at the top of HN? There's nothing there. (Or am I blind?)

This is nice, but I would really like to be able to assign people "developer" access to the account, giving them full read/write access to the Test area, but no access to the Live area or account sett…
