Really? A picture of a kid with Down's Syndrome wearing a Superman outfit?

How are you guys making out with finding those WMD's in Iraq?

Puts a whole different light on the glamorization of couch-surfing and minimalist lifestyles.

Selling is just as difficult as creating.

If only there was some way to tell. There were a bunch of other words on the page where you read that he was a student. Perhaps there is a way to assemble those words into some sort of order and derive meaning from them.

Because people make mistakes? Aren't people allowed to make mistakes anymore?

Most software developers love solving problems. When presented with a tough problem they don't mind skipping out on a few dinners at home or not watching the latest sports ball game. It is just being a developer, not some kind of malpractice, or slave driving, or not having read enough mythical books about herding cats.

Shit goes wrong sometimes, it is in some peoples nature to want to fix the problems.

> There is no new dynamic in play, this has been happening to just about every one hit wonder since recording was invented. Some stay, most go.

The last 4 paragraphs of the article go on to describe exactly what the new dynamic is. In addition to the normal bombardment of hearing the song all the time, it is the additional flood of memes that the internet and social media bring about. As the article says:

> In the past, the worst thing that could happen to the Song of the Summer was it being played to death. But in the digital age, the pitfalls are boundless. As “Call Me Maybe” is increasingly meme-ified, it runs the risk of becoming completely mummified.

and

> Simply put: when you think of “Somebody That I Used to Know,” you’re less likely to think of the man, Wally de Backer, but the meme.

Both of you arguing about something that isn't even the main point of the article.

Achievement Unlocked: You've read all of the Internet.

The full story is over on Gawker, the Atlantic article is just a summary that assumes you already know who this dude is.

I agree. They should stick to more interesting topics like their fantasy foosball leagues, how they got sooo wasted on saturday night, whether victor or marcia is going to win survivor 29, or how they hit elite level 9 in gears of duty: tango alpha banana last night.

I see from Wikipedia that the T94 is the 1-4 processor version. How does this compare to a current i5/i7 processor?

The 32 processor version cost $39 million.

You'll be much happier if you consider every top X list to be a list of stuff worth checking out rather than an absolute valuation of what is 'better'.

"...it has 25 percent more contrast than the Pearl screens in the current Kindles and, with 212ppi, it has a 62 percent higher resolution. It relies on a fiber optic like system to direct light down onto the display, not unlike the Nook but, from what we can see, the color is much whiter." [1]

I have two issues with your comment:

1) It is a blog post not a scientific study or an article in the newspaper.

2) Everyone knows republicans can't read.

The analogy I like to use when people under price their software is "When you price you apps like toilet paper, don't be surprised when most of your customers are shit and your whole business ends up in toilet.

A game is built on top of a game engine which is in turn built upon an API. So gears of war is a game built on the unreal game engine which is built upon the API of directx or openGL( plus whatever for sound, OS windowing, and input).

In the HTML5 world, impact, construct2, craftyjs, and limejs are all game engines. You use them to make games, rather than writing your own routines to deal with canvas rendering, audio, and input.

Some Engadget readers are going to be in for a bit of a shock. Arch dropped the menu driven install interface in the latest release. You have to do everything from the command line, including partitioning, creating, and mounting your file systems.

You mean like the site you are looking at right now?

reading the article is awesome.

Whenever you see an article like this, it is always useful to check out what they've made:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Polyclef+Sof...

Speaks for itself.

Flixel, Flashpunk, XNA, Unity, Unreal Engine, Cryengine, Ogre3d, SDL, Allegro, libtcod, Tengine, SFML, Construct, GameMaker, Scratch, Stencyl, Cocos2d, Kobold2d, libgdx, corona, BlitzBasic, Monkey, and on and on all available for free or very little money.

Steam, Humble Bundle, GamersGate, Desura, Indie Royale, Xbox Live Indie Games, iOS app store, Google Play all there to sell your game. Or just do it yourself on your website with paypal or stripe.

Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, 8-Bit Funding if you need funding.

Yeah, game development sure is awful these days.

The cheapest Mac laptop is $1,000. The cheapest Mac desktop is $600. So you are saying there are comparable PC's available for free and -400 dollars?

good old hacker news. Hey, someone is doing something cool... for me to poop on.

Meanwhile, the real world, not everything you work on is super cool or super fun.

That's why it's called work.

It is a good idea to read the article before commenting.

All the money Apple puts into engineering and marketing counts for squat if someone goes into an Apple Store and has to deal with salesperson who is unhelpful or not knowledgeable. Best case you end up with an unhappy customer, worst case you loose a sale or a customer for life.

The Apple Store isn't Walmart, the people that work there aren't just cashiers. Hang out in the Apple store for 10 minutes and listen to the people there talking to customers, now do the same thing at Best Buy.

Could the moderator who changed the title please explain why? Normally I would not care, but now it reads as if I am the film creator.

If the titles on HN now have to match the article title, you should just change the posting guidelines. Coming along 12 hours later and changing a post title is just power tripping.

Nope, the soundtrack is 100% original as well.

Grace Hopper was a complete badass. Here is an interview with her on Letterman circa 1986: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ0g5_NgRao

Vim, emacs, sublime, Komodo, gedit, jedit... And that is just off the top of my head.
