I read the headline of this article, and immediately had some thoughts:
I saw this coming a mile away, and I don’t know that there will ever be a “killer app” for these devices.

My familys recipe for monkey bread, which varies from the traditional by being a biscuit not a dessert.
Many moons ago, I tried to use the GeoIP database, via MySQL – and discovered that MySQL was doing the wrong thing with the queries. Naturally, I found some tricks to make it faster.
Recently, I’ve been introduced to the AAIA’s ‘ACES’ datasets. These datasets aim to describe the make, model, and configuration of pretty much every vehicle in recent history.
A couple days ago, I wound up helping out a colleague on a problem he was having coming up with an appropriate test case for a piece of code in a Rails app. It reminded me that I had wanted to talk about how structuring your code affects what you are actually testing, and how that related to what you want to test.

Magento Enterprise Edition is vulnerable to poisoning of its page cache under some configurations due to inappropriate trust of HTTP Host header values.
When it comes to pathfinding in Unity, you can roll your own, or use one of two publicly available resources. The most drool-worthy is AngryAnt’s Path. Having gotten way too familiar with the problem of pathfinding myself, and wanting a better workflow and richer capabilities than my home-grown solution affords me, I decided to poke around with AngryAnt’s code last night.

Until now, there has been no good solution for building unit tests for games built using Unity. As of today, there is. Get the package (version: 20090704) here.
I was out sick yesterday, but I managed to spend a little time working on “SB”. I’ve been playing with Ruby on Rails for a couple months, but today I really began to grok where the limits are with respect to Ruby, Rails, and performance.
