Sure, their player numbers soared when they did it, and continue to do so, right?
  Ok, I'll admit that it seemed to work the first few times they dumbed it down a bit, though I think that that was more due to the traction it already had at the time.

Please consider the amount of dumb things they'll try ON the golf course.

Because "dumbing down the game" have worked SO well for Blizzard and World of Warcraft..

I'm being sarcastic.

MS pulled a fast one at E3, wehre they used high end PC's to demo the XBox One.
IIRC MS later claimed that these were "representative" and also used for development. However, if these were the machines the devs were using to develop their game, it's no wonder they exceeded the available resources on the console.

They won't be happy before they put a 4K screen on a 5" unit.
Then they'll aim for 6K or 8K, just because the number is larger.

Definitely Android Studio. When I used Eclipse for Android development, it felt as if I spent half my time fighting the IDE, rather then my code.

It may be that it helps in the short term, but what about in the long run?
When the stressed individual need to be waned off the childhood delusions all over again?

It seems to me that the real "glass holes" are those without Google glass.

A very good explanation. Thanks.

Make it 10.0.0.0/12 for private networks, and reclaim the rest for public networks?

OOXML MUST DIE!

I've have my share of fun decoding that crap. It is not a good format for anyone but Microsoft.

I'd say at least have the ability to set if the requested permissions are read only, or read/write.

Remember: MAD.

Apple does it, and like it or not (most likely not) Samsung have to do it to protect themselves. And yes, I'm aware that they are all litigious bastards. Apple just seems to be the worst, with the least substantial patents.

MAD

As in mutually assured destruction. I hate it, and I hate the need for it, but if Google/Samsung etc. don't build a portfolio of essential patents, litigious bastards, like Apple and other patent trolls, will steam-roll them in the courts.

If only we had the time.
