Submission + - Game lets you create your own cloned games (rockpapershotgun.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Dutch indie game developer Vlambeer's games have been cloned a lot (see Polygon or Joystiq). Now you can clone their games as well with the free browser game Vlambeer Clone Tycoon. Created by two guys who work in the same office as where Vlambeer is located, this game shows "how dismal it is to clone games by letting people experience this activity themselves".

Ryse looks pretty good.

Unfortunately, that's exactly all there seems to be to it.

"You are not entertained. Ryse is all sizzle and no steak, a stunning visage paired with a vapid personality."

"There's no brains, no muscle, no fibre beneath Ryse's extravagantly engineered good looks - this game rings loud but hollow."

"Ryse has all the guts of next-gen — often quite literally — but none of the glory."

"An exercise in apathy, neither Solid nor Liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit 'meh,' really."

Submission + - Microsoft is now selling Windows RT exclusively (pcworld.com)

dingen writes: Dell’s XPS 10 tablet models with Windows RT have been removed from the company’s website, which analysts said could leave Microsoft as the only vendor selling ARM-based tablets running versions of Windows RT.

The XPS 10 Web page lists models of the tablet as being “unavailable,” and points users to the Latitude 10 tablet, which runs Windows 8 and has an Intel Atom processor. Microsoft, which sells Surface RT, is now the only device maker selling a tablet with Windows RT.

Dell was the only device maker other than Microsoft selling a Windows RT tablet after Lenovo, Asus, and Samsung bailed out on the device.

There are over 970 000 registered users on Drupal.org. If only 0.5% of them would donate $22.2 (0.5% of the average monthly salary of US programmer) each month, we would raise $1.3M every year which equals 24.3 full time developers.

But if 1% of us would donate 1% of our salary each month, we would rise $5.1M - enough to feed 96.2 full time developers. And if we add the money that companies, from small to enterprise level donate for Drupal development each year, these numbers could be even higher.

Wow. That is delusional like you don't often see. Why would 1% of the registered users donate 1% of their salary all of a sudden? They should be happy if they raise 1% of that.
