Sorry to quash the irrational exuberance of suspected Zune and Halo 3 announcements, but this one is still big and you're getting it early. There's a new web browser in town for Windows Mobile fans that goes by the name Deepfish. It runs technology borrowed from Sea Dragon, the imaging engine behind Photosynth.
It's free and you won't have to wait for an update to be pushed out through your cellular carrier to get it, you can download it now.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
I seriously hope this isn't the second of Microsoft's "big" announcements, cos if it is (and I sure hope I'm wrong) then this is the BIGGEST ANTI-CLIMAX ... EVER!
Not that I'm trying to detract from Deepfish's obvious usefulness when browsing the web on a mobile, and the way it smoothly zooms in and out does look cool.
It's just that, I, along with many other people no doubt, were expecting a gaming and more specifically an Xbox 360 announcement. :(
I told you the second announcement had nothing to do with the xbox 360. The Larry guy had already posted a comment way before to tell everyone, so they wont get hyped up as much as they did.
it may not have been xbox related, but after using some mobile browsers, that looks really cool... i won't be getting a smart phone until my current contract expires, but that feature definitely makes me want to get windows mobile and not iphone.
Damn, I thought they were gonna announce Halo3 beta details. Someone in my dorm preordered Crackdown for it so I was counting on checking that out.
uhhhhhh.....
