TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Which game console will be the easiest to develop for?
Depends what languages you know etc.

Xbox has XNA, which is OK.

Ouya has many Android game libraries, amongst others: libGDX.

Or you could count Steambox as a console, and develop in whatever you want (to a certain degree).

TobbenTM··on Why is Spotify chugging upload bandwidth when it is not streaming?
Now to gamify it!

Add statistics and allow users to control how much they upload. For every TB uploaded, one month free premium!

Seems to not be working in Opera 12.14. Cant see any screenshots. Anyone else with same problem?
TobbenTM··on Ask HN: where do you store your movies?
Running a Drobo NAS box with 10TB storage.

Not cheap, but extremely convenient. Chose the Drobo so I don't have to configure RAID stuff myself when messing around with the disks. A bit slow though (usually get around 60MB/s).

Previously I had all the disks in my desktop computer, which made it really heavy and inaccessible.

All I did was move the box. The connections remain the same. The "No" connection should be distinguished from the "Yes" and default connection.

TobbenTM··on Ask HN: What helps you produce code faster?
