Could have been a coincidence/indicative of a system issue, but not game to try it again!
Void_, what's the phone home actually doing?
ps. Nice, simple product. Are you going to build this out to include some of Zone's functionality?
My take on 'TLDR'. It isn't typically equivalent to a well structured opening paragraph. As others have mentioned, it's more akin to an abstract, as used in academic writing.
It denotes that the author will most likely use brief text to summarise and, for the sake of efficiency, it may be in a completely different writing style to the rest of the text.
TLDR is a useful tool for allowing readers to make a rapid decision as to whether the following content is relevant to them. In some ways I see it as a courtesy to the reader.
Grumbles aside, glad to see the Arduino ecosystem thriving. No doubt this will surface in some Kickstarter projects in the near future (if it hasn't already).
That says, I think the build looks better than S3 and software potentially better than both. Completely unqualified though, just my impressions from reviews.
Anyone have a 4.7"+ (S3, One X, Optimus G, etc) who can share their assessment of Size vs Usability?
I'm an Android user, so I hope that if this experience is indicative of many, that there will be new tools for indie devs, to help them get that initial bit of momentum.
I'm very interested to see if the OUYA can deliver on promise. It looks like a fantastic machine and at its price point, there will be no reason not to have one on every tv in the house. That will be an exciting new frontier in game development.
What I would love to see is a mail client that does away with the antiquated inbox/sent paradigm. It would be replaced by active/archived. If I send an email, it would appear in my active list until the expected outcome is achieved (eg. a reply). At that point I archive it. Sent and received would sit in the same view (like Facebook, etc), why they don't already on clients is beyond me. I shouldnt have to manage 2 views to ensure I've acted on received and others have acted on my sent.
Google, please do right by your users and put these guys on projects that will deliver as much user value as that of Sparrow.
I think BitTorrent (the company) need to address two things though:
1. Clarify the implementation. It's early days for Torque, but it should be clear to the user when they're uploading data and who can access that data.
2. Address the fact that the brand is (understandably but unfairly) associated with piracy and legal liability. Most people associate bittorrent with illegal downloads and most people don't know much at all about how the technology works. Even if they do, it's often obscured, which I guess brings us back to point 1...
