Google Chrome OS comes Under Fire from leaders in the industry (Search Engine Journal)

Google chrome OS has launched its pilot qualified testers pre-beta program. However, while Google enthusiasts around the world are practically drooling to get their hands on the Cr48, not everyone is a fan. Several industry technology leaders openly criticized the Google operating system.

Prominent free software advocate Richard Stallman warned that the OS would be a forfeiture of the data control. As indicated on the goalkeeper, Stallman said that Google's OS is bound to lead careless people "computer." Risks, says, include losing the legal rights of the data; While you must personally submit a mandate signed for anyone looking for the files on your computer, you may even not be aware that your data are requisitioned if it is stored in the cloud. "They can even not to give the company a search warrant," says Stallman. While he speaks against the cloud across, Stallman feelings have been clear for some time; Two years ago he said this over-using cloud computing was "worse than stupid."

Stallman privacy concerns extend beyond criticism of the new operating system from Google. He feared the popularity of the cloud will eventually eliminate equipment to control your own data.

However, it is not only a sceptic posed against the new system. Former when Paul Buchheit, a name associated with constantly Gmail (in the Buchheit project Google) also gives the system a less friendly prod. He predicted that "ChromeOS will be killed next year (or merged with Android)." Buchheit, this is not a question of security or access data, but redundant, because chrome OS and Android serve purposes remarkably similar but different platforms.

While early critics abound, testers are plugging away to the chromium OS and buyable are expected on the market in mid-2011.

Braid Developer Comes Down On Farmville (XML Pro News)

Developers who are surprised and disgusted by the success of games like Farmville can enjoy a recent interview with braid developer Jonathan Blow.  During, Blow clearly he approves of the games of this nature.

Blow said Simon Parkin of Gamasutra, "it is only to exploit the players and Yes, fun with this type of game.... report people"  But then when we look at the process of design in this game, it is not on the design of a fun game.  It is not on the design of something that is going to be interesting or a positive experience in any way - it is actually on the design of something that is a negative experience.

Blow, and then continued, "is on 'How do us something like cute and the positivity of projects' - but it makes people worry about when they are away from the computer actually and discharges the attention of their daily lives and back in the game."  What previous kinds of game ever made.  And it is, "How do we get players operate their friends in a mechanical way to progress."  That or exploit their friends, they type transform us and then we can monetize their relationships.

There you have it: the developer view respected on the subject, quite clear that what in fact is not the most noble how game design approach.

Or, if you feel like the path (although we encourage it), you can refer to the Blow as a sort of put-UN plan for the design of a game like Farmville comments.
