Sorry for being blind, but TFA doesn't say what they are 'observing'...
I've never heard of the site...and I don't feel like RTFAing. What the heck was Gigaom and why should I care?
That's because Steam is not available on mobile platforms.
They already do that with Android...
MS makes more money on Android than WM.
Minecraft isn't all that good of a game
You seem to be confusing "I don't like that game" with "it's not a good game". I suspect that more copies of Minecraft were sold than Neverhood, Age of Empires series , Starlancer/Freelancer series, Midtown Madness series, Mechwarrior 4 and Flight Simulator combined.
Citation please? Java has been multithreaded (and thus multicore) sinces 1.0.
Your post is so full of crap that I don't even know where to start...
Have you every written a single line of code?
Civ V, X-COM, Borderland, Left 4 Dead, Half Life, DOTA 2, CS-GO, EU are just _some_ of my favourite that run on SteamOS. Did you want the full list? It's over 300 games...
Have you noticed that Microsoft loves to tell developers how their Windows application need to look, but break their own rules with Office, VS and other products of theirs. Constant change and inconsistency is the modus operandi of the day.
Addendum to my previous gripe: Looks like Microsoft wants to transform the title bar into another toolbar. Let's put buttons everywhere! Who needs consistency?
For me, the ugliest element is the title bar. The dark blue and black elements are very difficult to see (no contrast). Furthermore, the title bar buttons look like they are mis-aligned.
You should look up, up, down, down, left, right, left and right or somewhere around there? That where I use to find my easter eggs.
Ya, just like reading Slashdot.
Or even worst, replying to comments!!!
