Apple App Store Developers Furious Over Crafty "Line Jumping" Application Names

The story goes that certain developers are cutting to the head of the class with sneakily inserted spaces and quotation marks. One "offender" is Jirbo, Inc., which put a space in front of all of its games’ titles. All Jirbo games now appear at the top of the alphabetical App Store games list.

Flickr Letdwn

Ugh. Flickr has been annoying me lately. I remember jumping on it before the entire Web 2.0 business (read: early adopter), and loved it. However, ever since Yahoo! has been involved, it's been more and more difficult for me to access my account, which leads to me losing interest in what was originally something I really enjoyed. Not only do I absolutely despise Yahoo! account access settings, but most of the time I forget my password and it's too infuriating and complicated to reset it. Maybe I've been spoiled by Apple-Google's uncomplicated, simplified almost intuitive ability to maintain order in a sea of chaos, but I'm quite jaded by the endless captchas and email reset requests and the birthday validations. In the end, I don't have time nor patience for it.

Google as an organization is not geared — culturally — to delivering enterprise class reliability to its user applications.' Danny Thorpe, who was the key architect of Google Gears, is back at Microsoft for his second stint working on developer technologies rel

Mirror's Edge Motion Sickness

"Mirror's Edge looks great. And the first-person-running-jumping-sliding-kicking-shooting gameplay is certainly novel and different. This morning, I checked out the E3 build, which looked, well, great. But...while watching the dev show off the game, I seriously started to feel ill. Really, really ill. I've never gotten motion sick from a game, and I got it pretty bad while checking out Mirror's Edge. Like to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling rather green. Actually playing the game didn't make me as sick as watching - and playing it was fun. The controls are intuitive and tight, and the overall design is polished.
