That very well may be, but my point was basically that it's not something I have to worry about in Chrome either.

I admire Firefox for what it's accomplished, but Chrome has stolen my heart. I had to use Firefox today actually to test something, and discovered a Bing bar that I'm pretty sure I didn't consent to, taking up valuable real-estate.

My poor iPhone 3G...or maybe I should be happy since my phone got progressively less useful with every update. Very eager to see what iOS 5 has in store.

That is super impressive. I would have never expected Microsoft would be able to breath new life into the 360 this late in the generation.
Re:Why Angry Birds is so successful and popular?

Angry Birds kind of reminds me of that old Artillery game on early Macs, which was really engaging with 2-people--if only Angry Birds had such.
At any rate, that game's success has been monumental and I am in awe of the creators.
Re:Epic Games shows jaw-dropping graphics for next-generation consoles
on Tuesday March 08, 2011 @07:24PM (#2303219)
The problem with these tech demos is exactly that--they're just tech. In-game graphics will never look this good because of non-cinematic camera angles, behind the shoulder viewpoint, and HUD elements mucking it up. It's nice looking, for sure, but I can get that from a Pixar movie.
Re:Android now more profitable than iOS for well-known game developer
on Tuesday March 08, 2011 @07:21PM (#2303206)
This is very impressive, though I wonder how much of their success may be due to the significantly smaller amount of competing games on Android vs iOS?

Indeed, but I'm mixed on the change. I used to filled with the options while being able to see the webpage in the background, which I can no longer do (without pulling out the tab). But it's growing on me.

I agree, but Facebook doesn't really need to do it well to be successful, it just needs to be good enough, for better or worse.
