Yes, the scaling is worse than the fingerprints. It's that bad.

4:3 is nice because it's closer to the square viewfield that most people actually have. I don't know whose vision is significantly wider than it is tall, or why that's a popular format for cinemas.

The resolution on all existing tablets (including ipad2) requires downscaling for 1080p content. And it looks bad. I have my fingers crossed that the upscaling for this resolution will look better. And that one of Apples competitors will get a 1080P+ android device out soon.

Ah, I would agree with the claim that they are likely to be less technically illiterate, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Who says the parents need to be ok with it? You're stronger than they are. Terrorize them into submission.

Googling 'how to open an internet cafe' yields a lot of relevant looking hits.

It has worse managers too. Almost all the managers in game dev are incompetent (at least, I have yet to meet the exception, and I've met a lot).

That's not a flaw of the startup environment. The whole point of going to work for one is to take salary risk and trade it against upside opportunity in the stock. The only other reason to work for a startup is if you have a moral stake in what the startup is doing.

Game development may sound fun, but as people who have actually done it for a living are going to point out, this is not the job for someone who has a mortgage or a family as a consideration. It doesn't pay well, it demands long hours, and the risk of losing your job is through the roof compared to basically anywhere else in the computer industry.

True. But even multilayer means a significant hit on equipment costs as new equipment is needed, and that equipment stays busy longer building a single device up in layers.
