One great achievement of the web is the huge reduction in barriers to publishing. But the flipside is that we now see extremely low incentives for publishers to keep content “live”. Back when it cost money to publish info, you had good reasons to *keep* your content live once it had been published; you had [...]
2 Comments » So neatly done, I find it hard to believe it’s not real… “3D gaming? What if the game characters saw the GAMER in 3D instead of the other way around? Is it really only myself that thinks like this?” (along with other greats such as: “A good game can be played on a 12″ black [...]
