Every time you make a bullshit start-scam, it has to have a countdown. You can't expect to get any investors if you don't build up at least a week of hype without giving any information other than "we will make an announcement."

nobody likes beta

The A students designing the products that the B students wind up manufacturing is still child labor.

A Chinese elementary school already HAS industry-standard manufacturing equipment sitting right at the desks.

No, listening to focus groups is how we get shit like that.

Really, they should just listen to as few people as possible.

I'd bet my last dollar letting Cortana open programs will open a security hole you could drive a bus through. MS needs to stop listening to users, they're dumb.

Do we seriously expect a guy to spend several hours doing nothing but watching a computer do its job without jacking off at least once?

Your spine is capable of flexing to fit your chair, too. That doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about proper lumbar support.

I've just thought of another problem; if a machine-friendly identifier isn't visible for some reason, said machine will likely not realize it has picked up two garments that are wadded, staticked, or stuck together. It also might tear something in the course of trying to separate two garments which it has correctly recognized.

This almost works, but you need a solution other than QR/bar codes. For those to work, the robot has to pick up a random garment that has been randomly wadded into a hamper, find a code that may not be flat enough for it to identify as such, flatten it, and pray to its machine gods that it hasn't washed out or frayed at all. RFID in the seams would work; though they'd eventually fall out, that probably correlates better with damage sufficient to send a garment at least to the thrift store. Bonus: Wal-Mart and the NSA know what underwear you have on today, which is fairly apropos.

Yes it is. It doesn't do any of the content delivery, since there's nothing there you can play on Android anyway, but I can log in, perform account management, buy stuff, tell steam to install something to my desktop if it's on, use the friends list.

Give me the legal right to give the NSA director a colonoscopy with a bottle brush and we'll talk.

Aggregating scores makes them LESS reliable. There are many instances of large publishers pinning bonuses to metacritic scores, leading devs to improperly attempt to court reviewers to raise them.

This headline violates Betteridge's Law, and therefore constitutes pro-review score propaganda. I call shenanigans!
