tinycartridge:
Forbes has an interesting article on what Nintendo views as its competition — not other platforms like the Xbox 360 or PS3 but anything that takes time away from gaming:
Content. Ask Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime what gives Nintendo an edge and he’ll talk about content. And Nintendo needs all the edge it can get. Competitors are everywhere.

Blueprint in the Yii PHP Framework
I just found out about the Yii PHP Framework via a good friend of mine, and was surprised to know that it includes the Blueprint CSS framework in its templates (and therefore, my friend is now working with Blueprint). My only nitpick is that Yii is using Blueprint 0.9, and ought to update to the vastly better version 1.0, which can be found on the download page. But this is great news! It follows...

Many of the new hires said day after day, they’d been reporting for duty before daybreak, only to stand around for hours waiting for impossible assignments (like picking vegetables from a field that had already...

The Social Network Movie You Won’t See →
I haven’t read The Accidental Billionaires on which the movie was supposedly based, but peruse the first five chapters of David Kirkpatrick’s The Facebook Effect and this narrative of unmitigated misogyny falls apart. FaceMash included hot or not lists for both sexes, not just women; and though it offended women’s groups on campus, Zuckerberg mended fences with the Association of Harvard Black...
