I got hit by this and don't even know how my bandwidth usage was so high this month. It was slightly over 2GB, when on prior billing cycles I'd never broken 900MB.
I work in an office with wifi and have good wifi coverage all over my home. Maybe it's from streaming audio in my car, but that seems like a huge jump, and I've been using services like Stitcher for probably a year and managed my usage pretty low in all that time.

Actually, I think it does support multitasking. I can't remember what version it was, but you can play media in the background through mobile Safari.

You realize that there are other services like this that already have iPhone apps, right? Like mSpot for example. They would probably have to purge all of those if they decided to give Google the boot.
I would question how valuable a service like this is for Google when it isn't on an Android device that supports their revenue stream more directly. They made a clean web app interface for Music that plays nice with iOS, but I don't know that they'll take it much further. I suppose time will tell.

Most of the people I know who played D&D were part of well adjusted social groups, and most of them seemed to have girls in them. Not even especially nerdy girls.
I do believe that was a reference to the elder methods of generating stats. That being either 3d6 per stat, or the highest 3 of 4d6.
I'm generally with you on the unnecessary hyperbole in that quote, but last I heard there wasn't much information about Scrolls. On what do you base the statement "rote CCG"? I understand it's a CCG of some sort, so they're not creating a new genre, that's true.
It's been discussed in a number of places, and is mentioned in the RPS interview: Mojang is publishing. This is Jens project. Any other questions?
I'm guessing since it is relegated to one area that they figured it wasn't necessary.
Were you trying to find those in particular or the Siftables project in general (from MIT Media Lab)?
This is the first I've heard of this commercial venture with them.

I'm confused, are you calling carbon credits fake or just ridiculous?
You're funny :D
Sorry, I think I partially misunderstood your post. I took it for granted that people didn't read the actual article they were commenting on and were just referring to some news from months ago. Sad situation when one takes that as the natural order of things.
I hate how much attention generic FPS franchises get.
Sure, because there's so much more complex interaction at a Blizzard convention or a Quake convention.
... well, Nov 11 was the previously discussed launch date. Notch and Todd Howard even had a laugh about it during an interview at E3.

This isn't hypocrisy. Hypocrisy would be if he was trolling Euclideon for having a buggy game. He's stating, with some very forgiving calculations, why Euclideon's claims smack of wild marketing bullshit. It's fine that you don't like Minecraft, or Notch's work, or whatever, but that has nothing to do with his criticism of this absurd tech demo.
Furthermore, marketing is released to make money. That is marketing's purpose. The tech demo makes no real claims of new technology, and no, using buzzwords doesn't count when you're touting technology that exists with severe limitations. I also didn't imply anything criminal, but I did imply and stand behind that video being SEVERELY unethical marketing.

Your argument is tantamount to "Well, they can't definitely disprove it so they should just say that they're critical." The fact is that the claims in that video are so absurd that others in the industry would be doing the world a disservice by not pointing it out. Notch's calculations are forgiving in a way that is far beyond reason, and it is still absurd.
Furthermore, the only reason people cannot refute the claims more fully is because the company in question has given no proof of anything. They haven't made a statement, even a vague one, about how they may have moved past the limitations imposed by current hardware. The technology they're showing off as revolutionary falls within an already known realm until they suggest otherwise in some meaningful way.

Except you're pretending that Notch's dismissal is without thought, and you in fact call it baseless. He discusses, and gives good reasons why this couldn't work on current hardware. Not only does he discuss this, he is more than fair in his calculations of probably resource usage, giving these developers some significant benefit of the doubt in this regard. The only thing wrong with criticisms of this demo is that the demo itself essentially says NOTHING about how it works. The burden of proof is on the company making these wild claims, and their detractors have every right (and I would argue, responsibility) to state their misgivings.
It also means that functional changes can be made to it without having to pass through Apple's approval process. Web applications can be updated much more frequently and quickly than native apps can (generally speaking).
Sure, as long as they're not... you know, lying to potential investors.
