The game Flappy Bird, created by Dong Nguyen was a rapid success. However it also followed with a rapid downfall. This article details how the game began to what it started as, an indie game created for a small nostalgic audience. It then grew to something way bigger. Dong was making more than $50,000 a week for his money. Flappy Bird was also number 1 on the app store for days straight, even then, Dong Nguyen was receiving death threats and rude remarks regarding his game. These threats and remarks kept happening so Dong was forced to remove his game off of the apple store. He is continuing to make other indie games though. Dong Nguyen said he will keep making games, and he wants to be a respected Indie game developer, not just another viral episode of the app store. Dong though, has been noticed by the indie developer that created Super Hexagon. I inferred, that a collaboration will happen between the developers. In my opinion I believe the cancellation of Flappy Bird was a publicity stunt to provide more coverage on Nguyen's other games.

this article talks about the increase in minimum wage that will come into effect june of this year. it tells us about things like how the cost of living is rising so the wages payed needs to increase as well. it also talks about the way employers do not want to increase the minimum wage but how it has to be done. this relates to me because i am a teenager looking to get a part time job and to hear that minimum wage is increasing is good news for me because as of now students get paid $9.60 and it will be increasing to $10.30

In this article, Rob Beschizza examines how many medals each country in the olympics has per 10 million people living in that country. Canada has only 4 medals per 10 million people whereas Norway holds 27.9 medals per 10 million people. This graph shows a new way of calculating who has the most medals. Rob Beschizza has a career in writing articles for the site: BoingBoing, and each Olympian has a career in their favourite sport.

Missed the mark here. The intention was to post something related to Careers in Computing.

When you have a messy inbox, utilize "SaneBox" for all your organizational needs! Most of us have experienced inbox flooding, so SaneBox is a must-have for any people looking to prioritize. What's different about SaneBox is the way it uses your email. It analyzes your email relationships and decides what's important based on previous actions. Then, it summarizes your mail into a daily digest so you don't miss out on what's important to you. It "literally" saved the author of this article 2 hours when going through his inbox. SaneBox also includes productivity apps and customizable setting, so another plus. I guess using this is a possibility, seeing how most of my inbox is spam. If SaneBox realized that all I ever click on is account confirmation emails, and that nothing else even matters, that would be the greatest.

The law on hate speech being used on the internet does not interfere with freedom of expression, according to the courts. The penalty you get for doing this action clearly is a violation, but courts have not taken that into account. This happens to be section 13, a currently defunct law. A penalty for hate speech on the internet can result in up to a $10000 fine! This penalty is what gives people the reason to argue. Wouldn't fining someone for stating an opinion on something (no matter how bad it is) still be a violation of someone's freedom of expression? Unless you were under employment and did something of that nature within your job, you should be fired. But, the internet seems to be much different than real life. When something is written it must have more power, because saying your opinion in real life out loud, will not result in any fines. The problem is that section 13 violating free speech is right politically, but wrong legally. Section 13 is being removed in June of 2104, and for good reason. No internet hate speeches are being made in which a victim should recieve $10000 in compensation. Personally, I would never say anything to offend a large group of people to such a degree, but I still think section 13 should be removed, if it goes against a constitutional right under reasonable grounds.

2 per week right? It's been finally done, Apple's fascist stranglehold on the walled garden of apple has lessened as Adobe has announced the creation of a flash media server. This flash media server is similar to cloud computing as flash content is processed off the device on a larger machine which outputs the data back onto your device. This method bypasses the fact that apple devices lack flash to deliver flash content to the masses. Lets admit nobody uses html 5 yet. Rule Britannia!

Interesting post. Let's not use the term Facist too loosely, it's a bit harsh. Now tell me, why does Apple not support Flash on iOS?

Apple says that flash is not safe which was proven when some coders found a major security flaw within adobe flash a few months ago. They say that because flash is propitiatory it will interfere in their software/hardware production which apple excels in because they are in full control of the entire process. But there's also the fact that apple is making millions off of the games sold off of the appstore. If flash was available, those games would not need to be bought but instead be played for free via the internet

Google has created its own social networking site called Google+. Google+ is like a combination of facebook and Skype. It is like facebook because you can update your status and post pictures with your friends. It is like Skype because you can call people and video chat, however in Google+, you are able to video chat with up to 10 people on the same conference.

The hugely popular music streaming service Spotify has expanded its European coverage with the launch of its service in Denmark. The company announced its expansion in a post on its blog earlier today, and users in Denmark can begin accessing the service immediately:

Speculation around the soon to be Samsung Galaxy Nexus. A tweet posted by DoCoMo gave a little hint to the release date and stuff like that to the 

Well it would seem that NTT DoCoMo, one of the largest wireless carriers in Japan, has let slip the Samsung Galaxy Nexus announcement just a couple hours early. According to a tweet, "the latest Android OS smartphone with Google and Samsung Electronics [will be] announced on October 19 in Hong Kong tomorrow. DoCoMo is almost equivalent to the fastest in the world, scheduled for release in November. More later." (Anyone who's fluent in Japanese, please feel free to add clarity that Google Translate can't.)

When most thieves commit a crime they try to get away from police. However looks like karma got back at a man who stole a woman's cell phone. He tried uploading a picture onto facebook through her phone but the phone was set to automatically post it to her wall. This gives police pretty much all they need to catch him.
