Microsoft Says PS3 Linux Not 'Competitive' To XNA 231

Posted by CowboyNeal on Friday December 15, 2006 @08:32AM from the ignorance-is-bliss dept.

nz17 writes "Gamasutra has a preview of its upcoming interview with Dave Mitchell, Director of Marketing for Microsoft's Game Developer Group. In the interview Mitchell dismisses Linux on the PS3 as a game creators' solution and has said, 'What we [at XBox] are focused on doing is providing great tools at a free or low price point that are going to enable consumers to be absolutely successful at creating games for both the Windows and the Xbox 360 platforms.'"

Grannies and Pirated Software 280

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday September 12, 2006 @09:02PM from the oh-dearie-me dept.

dthomas731 writes, "After reading Ed Foster's blog about how the Embroidery Software Protection Coalition (ESPC) is suing grandmothers over using pirated digitized designs, I thought you might want to call your own grandmothers and tell them they are going to be needing a lawyer. And the ESPC is very serious. On the ESPC faq page they scare these grandmothers by telling them even if they didn't know the software was pirated, that 'Unfortunately, when it comes to copyright violations, ignorance is no defense.'"

Facebook Opening Up For The Public 132

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday September 12, 2006 @08:48AM from the getting-to-know-you-getting-to-know-all-about-you dept.

Krishna Dagli writes to mention a BusinessWeek article about a move by Facebook to open up to the public. Up until now, in order to join Facebook you had to be an alumnus from certain High Schools, Colleges, or companies. Soon, individuals living in any one of 500 'geographic regions' can sign up. From the article: "People who joined Facebook because it was primarily a school-focused network may feel that it's losing a key distinction. As with the 'news feed' announcement, reception to this overhaul will come down to how well Facebook communicates. For the average student at New York University, for instance, little changes. The only people who can browse his profile before were other NYU students and that will stay the same. The change simply allows for 500 new groups to form that all operate independently on the Facebook platform. No one can browse all 9 million registered users."

Journal Journal: AJAX Scientific Calculator Made With Google Web Toolkit

Journal by swelke on Monday August 21, 2006 @06:25PM

I've been unemployed lately. As such, I've had some free time on my hands. I've been playing with the new Google Web Toolkit. So far, I've written an AJAX scientific calculator. It's still in development, so come help me test it out. I need data on how different browsers work with it, too. I'm making substantial changes to it every day, so come back again to see if an error you found is fixed.

Journal Journal: my website

Journal by swelke on Monday July 18, 2005 @05:15PM

I haven't been posting very often lately because I've been spending all weekend getting Alien Assault Traders to finally work on my server. I have tried several times to get this working on my home machine previously, never with good results (mostly because quite a lot of the MySQL packages for Fedora core 3/4 are buggy/broken). Anyway, it works now.
