Scaling Lesson #23742 (5)
on The GitHub Blog (34) permalinkGitHub was created as a side project, but it seems to have struck a nerve and gained traction quickly. As such, a lot of the infrastructure decisions were made not figuring on this sort of growth: One of the major pieces of the infrastructure is how we store the repositories. The way it was originally setup worked great for a while, but it wasn’t sustainable. As an example, lets take my github-services repository. Here’s where ...Contribute comment

Ninjia and Guitar Hero (10)

Quote: The giant egg billboard starts cracking and opening up in the wee hours of morning. By breakfast time, the egg has already hatched, and you can see "Fresh Eggs Daily" written on the egg's yolk. The egg stays open from 6:00AM till 10:30AM, to indicate the availability of fresh eggs during that time. Once the breakfast ...Shared by Benjamin Golub (129) Brandon (76)Contribute comment

Nintendo announces the Wii MotionPlus at E3 (15)

iPod Touch As An Apple TV Remote? Cooler Than I Thought. (20)
on louisgray.com (914) permalinkWhen Apple's iTunes application store opened up last week, I, at first, skipped over the free Remote application that offered the option to manage iTunes or the Apple TV from your iPhone or iPod Touch. It just seemed stupid at worst, or a proof of concept at best. Why would I want to duplicate the Apple Remote's capabilities with a much more functional device, I thought?

Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus add-on makes the Wii Remote a true 1:1 motion controller (48)
on Engadget (8143) permalinkFiled under: Gaming, Peripherals While we saw it hinted at in patents, Nintendo is springing quite the doozy on us at E3 in the form of its new Wii MotionPlus add-on. Perhaps in a preemptive strike against supposed Wiimote competition from the likes of Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo is beefing up its motion support with this add-on, which is supposed to proved "an unmatched level of precision and immersion," with sensors to supplement the accelerometer ...
