What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy?

This is all true.

A game developer made a game in which the player assumes the role of a game developer.

He seeded unlocked copies of his game online so people could easily pirate it, with one small change: the player of the pirated version will suffer from high rates of piracy of the games they "develop" in the game.

The developer of the game is suffering from high rates of piracy, complaints, and is not making any money.

You couldn't make this up if you tried.

Not enough to warrant a $15 purchase. Maybe $5.

NBA player Jason Collins says he is gay, and the fact that this rates as news shows just how far behind we are where we should be when it comes to this kind of stuff.

This kind of stuff will not be news in 20 years. Hopefully it won't be news in ten, or five. Or two, but that's probably unrealistic. We still have to wait for a whole bunch of older people to die.

I bet you never thought that since adding actual movies to sites is somewhat complex¹ so people are reverting to making animated GIFs of scenes so that all devices and browsers can display them.

Say what? Yes. It's true.

Money keeps getting uglier, doesn't it? I like Canada's money. Maybe I'll move there.

The 2014 iBeetle Is Like an iPhone on Wheels - NYTimes.com

The fact that the 2014 Beetle is going to be one of the first cars to do much with our iPhones is simply appalling.

Cars are owned for four, six, eight, ten years. So when they're already two, four, or six years behind adopting current technologies, they start to feel really outdated really quickly.

It's pathetic how poorly the auto industry integrates with our smart phones. There's money to be made here - design a generic "interface" (a small computer) that powers many of the car's functions, and make a part of it "swappable" to future-proof it against future technology changes (no 30-pin dock connectors if you know what I mean). Then sell upgrades to people when they change phones and/or technology advances sufficiently.

I'd be happy to have my entire touch-screen, GPS, stereo, etc. powered by my iPhone with integrated calling, Siri, etc.

The Paris Time Capsule Apartment | Messy Nessy Chic Messy Nessy Chic

The owner of this apartment, Mrs. De Florian left Paris just before the rumblings of World War II broke out in Europe. She closed up her shutters and left for the South of France, never to return to the city again. Seven decades later she passed away at the age of 91. It was only when her heirs enlisted professionals to make an inventory of the Parisian apartment she left behind, that this time capsule was finally unlocked.

Well worth a few minutes of your time.

Does 'Sarah Hanson' exist? The story of this 19-year-old entrepreneur may be a hoax.

MAY BE a hoax?

Regardless, the idea is somewhat brilliant. Too bad it's soiled now. I think it would have been a great way for someone to get a jump start on life.

I have one. It's black.

I expect that I'll have another in a month (or longer, more likely).

All serious offers will be entertained.

Flip Flop Fly Ball - MLB uniforms, 2013

BTW, why do so many teams have so many jerseys these days? What's wrong with having a single "home" and "away" jersey?

Less sales revenue, that's why!

That's the question being asked of this Rob Enderle article: The impossible task of fixing Apple.

I'm voting for a combination of both: idiot savant troll.

You simply can't be that stupid that often.

This article "Verizon iPhone sales tumble 33%" and the subsequent tweets asymco: This is a false headline: Verizon ... and comments are funny and sad at the same time.

Taking Apple private: Makes sense but nobody has the money. Also worth reading: Braeburn Capital.

I don't know about the legal or business reasons for or against a company buying itself back from publicly traded stock, but if Apple was able to do so, I think it would be a benefit to the company. But what I know about the stock market and business could probably fill a thimble and not much more, so…
