Awesome, reminds me of Antichamber, especially the little hints given.


Yeah I played that game too. I remembered it when writing the hints... I guess that counts as inspiration.


It's possible for it to download compressed data and 323 used uncompressed textures/meshes/sounds/etc.


Keeping the A7 is disappointing; I'd expect at least the A8 offered in the iPhones. Looks like the iPad Mini is the new iPod Touch.


I'm a bit surprised. While I prefer the size of the Air (I use mine at least an hour a day), I would have guessed that they sell far more Minis.


Going with that logic, Moto G is all the phone one needs, at half the price of the Nexus 5.


Also, just because the GPU can power 4K doesn't mean it will for a reasonably small amount of power, such that the MBA can continue to pull a 12-hour battery life.


If you are plugged into a 4k monitor, you are probably reasonably close to a power outlet.


Theoretically, Thunderbolt is capable of being your power outlet.


Yeah but if you're powering your 4K monitor from Thunderbolt, I doubt you'd get that 12 hour battery life either :D


Reducing animation speed does not solve the problem. Too many animations can be distracting for me (kwin), increasing animation speed does not remove the distractions.


I think we are putting the cart before the horse here. Let's see if this actually becomes a problem. There is such a limited amount of purposeful animation that happens right now. I imagine adding well thought animations would be nice. Check out the material guide on it: http://www.google.com/design/spec/animation/authentic-motion...


You can also outright disable transitions and window animations.


The header bars finally see more use in 3.12; for Firefox, I'd recommend something like HTile, which removes the header when it's maximized.


Difficult to find an ISP with a backbone that actually can follow through. I'd be interested to know if anyone in Canada has had an ISP successfully stand up to procecution.


I would hope that Teksavvy and other technorati-driven indie ISPs would do the legal minimum in sivulving customer info.


TekSavvy is a fantastic company, but their business model is completely dependent on the big telcos who control the last mile. The UBB crisis a few years ago was a very close call, and it is bound to happen again in one form or another.

So if TekSavvy et al. try to resist the information leaking that the proposed legislation permits, I wouldn't be surprised if the MAFIAA took extralegal measures to force their hands. For example, Bell & Rogers might be persuaded to change the terms of their contract with indie ISPs the next time the contract comes up for renewal, unless the indies agree to some sort of "standard Canadian telco privacy policy" drawn up by the big telcos.

So Canadians might end up with a difficult choice: you can have privacy, or you can have 300GB traffic caps, but you can't have both.

I don't believe autocorrect is capable of producing words like that...


Oh....err...divulging.
