Over The Edge: Indie devs protest App Store... →
I can’t really sum it up better than Mr. Albatross but it’s great that people are ganging up on that stupid EDGE guy because I’ve been trying to buy that damn game for the better part of a year and every time… OH! IT’S DOWN AGAIN.

Things are getting dicey in the indie games community this week. Spearheaded by fans and developers from TIGsource, the close-knit community has...

Ridley Scott is rolling the dice on a 'Monopoly'... →
I imagine this movie never ends; everyone ends up getting bored and leaving the theater.
The last thing this world needs is a Monopoly craze. There are so many great games out there.

boston music bands/groups
As I commented over on Folkinz:
Aerosmith has never, ever been good. The only thing that ever came out of them that was worthwhile was Liv Tyler and their donation to the ICA. I’ll even concede NKOTB, but never Aerosmith.
:cough: MORPHINE :cough:
… and Dick Dale … and New Edition … and Chick Corea

being from boston i am partial to the music scene here, but apart from that boston...

Master (form of address) - Wikipedia, the free... →
The general usage follows the English, though less strictly. Adult males are addressed, formally, as Mister, while boys are addressed formally as Master, though the latter is retained only in highly formal situations (such as for weddings and wedding invitations) and by some older persons. The age at which the transition from master to mister takes place is not strictly observed, though...

langer:
With Fried’s singular obsession over profit he has a similarly myopic definition of the word “success”. Success, to Fried, is revenue now, profit now, and businesses that do not meet those criteria are not simply “unsuccessful”, they’re worthy of mockery and derision.
I think it’s the difference in owning a company that you can control versus owning a company that is out of control and...
