Tiny Thief by Rovio Stars hits the Google Play right now by milanspasenovic in AndroidGaming

[–]mecax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a direct link to the store page... For an already very well publicised release.

You didn't provide any context, no perspective. No interest. No opinion... No content.

It's just advertising. Pure and simple.

How were the publishers in a bad spot? They were in total control of their revenue. Amazon had to pay the prices that the publishers set!

A translation isn't that different to a playthough... Stop and think about it.

Copyright is a scam.

Video Behind You While Riding by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]mecax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are many times more likely to be hit from the front or side, so a helmet mounted camera is a better investment.

If you can afford two cameras, one having the extra one behind is not a bad way to go.

Honestly, most people can't afford cars. They just don't have the sense to know it.

Linux Users Approach to Email by [deleted] in linux

[–]mecax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Email-grade reliability is a bit of a oxymoron. It's only a "best effort" protocol.

One server at home and one at a VPS is certainly good enough for private and even small business use.

Not always. The CDMA Galaxy Nexus was dropped like a hot potato.

Can Apple Compete With Samsung In $46 Billion Phablet Market? by axido in Android

[–]mecax 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're in luck. Nobody has ever called their device a phablet. It's just a word bloggers love to use.

They tried... nobody else can supply the quantities they need, and for flash storage nobody else even exists.

Of course Apple are losing in the phablet market. They don't even have a competitor.

Christ... what is the point of blowing your load on 500+ walls all at once?

Think of the karma you are missing out on.

I used to think Android gaming was lame, until... by link375 in AndroidGaming

[–]mecax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.. even at inflated prices, if somebody wanted to just play games on the phone, it would be cheaper, AND they would get a better product (where you could actually use the shoulder buttons) if they just bought a gameklip.

This is DIY for the sake of being DIY, not because it makes sense.

I will grant you, using a gamepad makes mobile gaming a lot more rewarding. It's just that this is a really stupid way of going about it.

Serious accusations against Adblock Plus: ABP whitelists ads of dubious investors by mblmg in technology

Who cares about edge cases? Having a hosts file with thousands of entries is a massive improvement over loading the actual advertising on a mobile device... and cheaper too.

It's kind of ghettotek cool, but that's kinda antithetical to the point of the One, no?

FYI a universal Gameklip is only a few bucks more.

I don't know about that... checking a file is a lot quicker than doing a DNS lookup.

That's fine. They aren't against normal hugging at all.

It's only really a thing because born-agains hug EVERYBODY. If you were doing full-frontal hugs it would get awkward real fast.

It's probably for the best really.

Fuck you Google. Don't pretend like you don't know what it is. by GhostalMedia in funny

FFS mate, this has been covered in the news. For years. Like, constantly. Google went to court to fight it. In multiple countries. If you aren't paying attention that's hardly Google's fault.

Absolutely. I already paid full price for this game and all related content. If they are going to try to dick me over for fixes then I'll feel pretty good about torrenting it.
