Just thinking about it more more, there are so many places you could bolt a tablet onto a wall to improve an interface to something. - think doctor / dentist
- think directory to an office buildi…

I think this is a great idea. Congrats guys!

Oh Sorry, now that I look at your website I see I have confused crowd_sourcing_ with crowd_funding_. Given what I said about about all the little components coming together being the hard part, I find…
comment
The hard part of game dev is the implementation. High level ideas or mechanics are easy. The real challenge is how it all all the little decisions fit together to form a whole. To me crowdsourcing is …

I bought my Nexus 4 on the promise of Android. Damn thing crashed and rebooted when I was trying to answer a call the other day. There are so many UI issues. Material design might look nice, but sux i…

A fools errand. The only news sources that can ever be trusted are publicly funded organisations like Australias ABC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corpora.…

Attention somebody looking for their next startup idea! Content publishers need an innovative way to serve ads in a way that cannot be distinguished from the content. Perhaps by acting as a proxy for …

The ad could just be targeted to the content it's next to. If I'm reading about surfing, try and sell me a surfboard.

Sorry DanBC, I agree that my comment was probably unnecessary. But I do feel that the medium is an important part of the message, and that the whole point of these threads are to share one's pers…

Can I just say this is an abuse of Twitter. Seriously, if you want to use more that 140 characters, use something else.
comment
Something I don't see talked about too much, but what I think could be the most exciting thing about the Firefox phone, is that a web app (hosted on the web) could have full access the the dialer…

I thought people prefer the sound of vinyl because it's analog and has a much wider range that digital music. (Not because it's distorted)

I don't understand how these websites with mystery products make it to the front page? Who is upvoting them? Why?
comment
A few months ago I bought a surface 3 pro for testing. For the first week or so I was quite impressed by the metro stuff. Looks nice, works well with touch. I was very disappointed that there are no m…

Agree wholeheartedly, nothing more annoying than a mobile browser thinking it knows better than the site designer. Mobile browser should render the page exactly how the designer specified.
comment
I really think this old attitude to copy protection is short sighted and why free games are now the top revenue earners on every platform. If a player is enjoying your game, great! The hardest part of…
comment
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think between long @addresses and a few #hashtags, there is not enough characters left to say something interesting. The result is cryptic gibberish. I think @a…

Why is userdata any more important than the rest of the data in your database?
comment
Would you rather spend the first half of every project planning and scheduling every little feature, then spend the second half of the project missing deadlines and implementing features that are not …
comment
Rock! I get the feeling there is some weird backlash against all things Agile lately. I've noticed it particularly in reddit comments. I suspect it's young people who just weren't aroun…

I'm really late to the game on this one, and there are too many places I want to put this comment, so hell, I'll just drop it here at the top level. This button prevents you from playing the…

Also, now I'm wondering about that Amazon button thing.

I don't get it, the post is clearly dated March 31st.

I think the other side of the DRM elephant is piracy. Books are so small compared to movies, a few hundred meg can provide years of reading material. It can be hard to find a pirate copy of a single b…
comment
All this VR stuff is just another fad like 3D TV and movies. I've tried the Oculus DK2 and the headsets are still too heavy on your face, too low res, and not responsive enough. The problem is th…
comment
No, I think you are right. You can't play Counter Strike or Team Fortress and casually walk around the map. If you're making a dash for the flag you need to run. Also, walls.
comment
Watching the video makes me think this is some kind of parody site. It starts out with some depressed looking worn out dude slouching in his chair mumbling incomprehensibly.
comment
I think you should be talking to you current employer about setting aside some of your current work time to training. One or two days a month for you study / explore technologies that will grow y…
comment
I appreciate your positive spin on this. I can't help but rant. Perhaps the user experience is mostly there, but I would not describe it as fantastic. For me the pain starts when you click in the…

No to mention they could have integrated the office suite as well (docs, spreadsheets, presentations), oh and TV with youtube. Then you haves News, Social, Photo, Video, Files, and Office too. Add som…
