    GameStop Exploiting Devs And Consumers

    In the first part of his video he's so mistaken it's sad. He talks about Game Stop's profit of $79 like they don't have rent, insurance, utility, salary to pay. I wouldn't deal with GameStop for the same reason I don't trade in a vehicle vs private sale. It should be obvious to anyone with a...

    GameStop Exploiting Devs And Consumers

    You ain't lying. Half of them can't take a piss without wetting themselves. I research what I am selling before I post it. Put it at a price that should have people beating down the door only to have them all show up and offer half of what I am asking. When I moved to my house in 2009 I need...

    GameStop Exploiting Devs And Consumers

    Wrong on both counts. Netflix purchases movies on a wholesale market that the average consumer doesn't have access to. It's why you see discs' with RENTAL silkscreened on them. The only time studio makes money is on the initial purchase. Netflix and Redbox can rent it out however many times...

    GM Factory Robots Wrapping Christmas Presents

    That's ok. The wrapping will peel off a few miles outside of warranty since they didn't bother to use the correct primer undercoat and then tell you sorry about it being out of warranty.

    Raspberry Pi is shipping!!!

    I understand that it's a fragmented market and once a profit seeking enterprise gets involved it will speed up (like it always does, It took Apple to put a *nix on the desktop). Looking at some of the prepackaged Droid and Genesi stuff also.

    Raspberry Pi is shipping!!!

    Is there any ARM based, Ubuntu running, already in a case and ready to deploy? All I see are bare PCB based systems. I would like something more than a 800Mhz single core system. Thx

    Online Retailer Charges A 6.8% Internet Explorer 7 Tax

    BTW you shouldn't develop to ANY browser. You should develop to standards. That's the entire point. It's like you have to write signs in Texas English, or New England English, or Cleveland English. No you should develop to ENGLISH and let everything comply with that standard.

    Online Retailer Charges A 6.8% Internet Explorer 7 Tax

    We developed to CSS/HTML5 standards and shit is STILL broken under even IE9. All the other major browsers? ZERO FUCKING TWEEKS. Not a single line of code tweeking. Allowing uses to use older browsers won't result in them simply installing current builds of FF/Chrome/Opera. It will result in...

    Online Retailer Charges A 6.8% Internet Explorer 7 Tax

    You'll love this. We are dveloping a SAAS product with JS/Jquery/PHP/CSS 3/HTML5. Works great in current and previous FF/Chrome/Opera. Load up IE9 and the entire thing is absolutely broken. We are so done with MS and already written in the handling to tell you so when you hit the site with IE.

    Should Websites Charge To Process Copyright Takedowns?

    This must be an Ex /. employee here writing these titles. I would LOVE if the entity making the claim had to pay a nominal fee. They would think twice before requesting a take down and give it a little more thought if the use is indeed infringing or not. If the take down is determined...
