@MSRR: I asked to speak to someone in America. They refused. I asked to speak to the supervisor. The supervisor disconnected me.

Yikes.. check your PM's.. I have sent you a contact that may or may not still be working for Dell.

So I've been finally getting to doing stuff like clearing space on my computer, reorganizing stuff on my computer, and downloading things that I've been putting off.(No, MTM, that doesn't include Ad Blocker. That might be for tomorrow.)

I might even get to actually installing my sound card today! Though that also might have to be put off to tomorrow, since it's late and all.

By the time I'm done with this, it'll be like a brand new 7 year old comp. =P

I hope you made a system restore point first.

Bad news: already having a contract with Verizon, I cannot upgrade to a 4S without paying an obscene amount of money.

Good news: My parents are going to pay 99 bucks so I can experiment with being an iPhone dev for a year. Which I hope will allow me to MAKE an obscene amount of money. Which I would use...to make more games...and make a MORE obscene amount of money. In turn...

ENDLESS CYCLLLLLLLE

Also, remember that picture of my comp's insides a few weeks I post a few weeks back, asking if the part pictured was a PCI slot? Well, I have a higher res picture on my phone, which I was examining...Well, there are three slots CLEARLY LABLED PCIE that I somehow managed to miss. XD

[mtmerrick]

oooh, you don't have an upgrade? then yeah, obscene is a good word.

good luck making money when apple takes 30% of your profits you'll need it.

Note where Apple ranks on that chart.

Now see where Google ranks.

That will be all.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

60252

Rank how? what is this a chart of

[Magical Girl Mimi]

60253

MsRR: Eh? What's that? =P When you know what you're doing, you don't really need things like that. =P Unless it's stuff like potentially system-breaking upgrades(If it isn't supported). But then, that should only be done on VMs anyway.

Besides; since it's deleting stuff(That's on another hard drive or just isn't being used), changing around layouts, or getting one thing like the GIMP, it's not needed at all. =P

MTM: How much under? =P

ddude, devving: Sounds cool; within hopefully the next week or two, I should be back in action to start working on things myself... And I spotted Python when messing around with Ubuntu 10.4 the other day. >=D

Also, just a word of caution, I would pay attention to the length of time the game can be played for. Maybe make a couple modes. I'm not sure whether short games or long-term games(Like 3DS retail games) are winning right now. =P

Ddude, chart: What's that chart of? Also, if you ever make a quality game for the eShop, I'd give it a shot. =) ... Provided they actually RELEASE THE ESHOP CARDS HERE by then. -_-;

It was a survey of indie developers to describe their experiences with download services on video game systems.

Apple App Store > Android App Market

[Magical Girl Mimi]

60255

Ah, I see. Kinda makes sense, yeah. Though, you'd think that the Nintendo stuff would get more attention, given that they only update with like 3 things a week. Unless it's the size limits...

[mtmerrick]

iOS app store = up to 6 month waiting period, possible rejection, only 30% of profits, declining market share.

android market = instantly available, 100% of the profits, easier (usually) coding, rapidly climbing market share.

If I may chime in, that 'instant availability' might just be the cause of some of that. =P

I mean; if tons of things are available constantly, and are released all at the same time, logic suggests something is gonna be overlooked, possibly constantly.
