And if I pinch zoom in I can't see the whole line.

I wish somebody from Google would just search his inbox for the "Google OS" from April 07 and put an end to this discussion. If it's there then Antoine should have known about it. Why wasn't Chrome bu…

Colonial Marine, Galactic Marine, Star Marine, Void Marine, Interplanetary Marine. I could come up with many more, why not just pick one of these instead. Space Marine sounds familiar for a reason. I'…

I think you need to hire some really kick ass designers and make this stuff pixel perfect. I'm not sure what fonts are being used but it doesn't look "Apple" polished to me. The home screen icons are …

I just watched them on an iPad. Perhaps it's The other way round?

How about a link to it.
comment
Probably because the first 4 sound like they could be problems. Facebook is super buggy, perhaps they do need to slow down. I think a lot of the feature could be better designed. Zuck very well could …

Really? When I hear that I think I think "You Beaut!" A customer who wants to pay you to mess around with new ideas and come up with something great. Nothing more boring than client that knows exactly…

Sounds more useful than this. Clicking on hide seems more work than just ignoring the stories.

I hate when my phone rings.

I wont buy Samsung again. I still feel burnt by my purchase of a 7" GTP1000. The hardware is great but the software feels unpolished, laggy and really ugly in places. At the time I was expecting Samsu…

Don't forget to ask what will you learn or how will you grow in doing the work. I'll often take work because I'm looking for an opportunity to learn a new tech or move strategically. I wanted to get o…

I'm in Brisbane and I'm doing some freelance for a US start-up right now. I kind of stumbled into this work, but would like to take more of it on in future. I think it would be great if there were som…

I wouldn't go that far. I would say a game like Diablo is basically just the same kind of "compulsion loop". Just done better. :)

Why is this being down voted? I agree. In fact it's happening right now. Every large AAA studio in Australia has already closed. There are so few big console games in development right now.
comment
This is super exciting to read. I've been building small web based "social games" for a few years now, none of which look or play like the games of these big publishers. I think the core mechanics of …

Heads up cloudability. If front end and UI is important may I suggest a different font for the blog. Really hard to read here on windows.
comment
Hrrm.. much of the discussion here is missing what I think is the important point. If you build on Facebooks platform, there is a good chance you will end up competing with Facebook. Or Twitter. We ne…

so stick with rgba() colours then?

Arg, I would love to work on Boot to Gecko.
comment
I would love to take the plunge but need photoshop. Gimp is a long way behind.
comment
It just doesn't exit. I've been shopping to a windows laptop for ages and really nothing is as good as what apple is offering.
comment
Yeah but, Windows 8 itself is a train wreck. Seriously, who is going to upgrade to it? It's too different. Nobody is going to go out of their way to buy it, the only installs it will get is as OEM's o…
comment
I find myself jumping in and out of Photoshop all the time. Quite often I'll have a working design in HTML/CSS, then as the requirements change, take a screen grab of the page in the browser and start…
comment
Having seen a UFO myself I can safely say that there _are_ aircraft with capabilities far above that what I would expect from our own air force in our skies. A friend and I witnessed formations of lig…
comment
What I found missing in this is _why_ I would want to jump to a matching bracket, or insert a line before. Perhaps the game should be to transform one block of code into something different in as few…
comment
Ugg, I disagree with most of most of your points. I like the sidebar simple, use finder/explorer if you want more. Text for find results and config is great. Native ui is a huge amount of work to get …

Hey Whit, kill the weekly payment thing and make tips one off payments. Have a look at the freemium model that is all the rage these days. Apparently players hate subscriptions and would much rather p…

Does anybody know if this prevents companies selling virtual items to players, or just players selling virtual items to each other?
comment
Yeah, don't people use their mouse wheel or two finger scrolling on the trackpad?
