"The demo seemed targeted specifically to existing FarmVille players, because I (having never played the game) couldn’t make heads or tails out of how one is supposed to play or what sort of entertainment it was supposed to provide."<p>FarmVille isn't intended to provide entertainment, it's only intended to addict you (to Zynga's benefit). It's one of the more horrible things one can invent with software.
> Apple should have put iPhone 4 units on display in Moscone, like they did with the original iPhone at Macworld 2007, if only to inspire developers to create double-resolution artwork for the custom UI elements<p>I think the Simulator provides all the inspiration a developer needs. Seeing your work suddenly presented to you at twice the resolution and detail is very stunning and thought provoking.
OMG! Gruber farted an opinion about apple!<p>I wonder if he thinks their new products and direction are the future of technology.<p>If anything, he might have been too hard on apple, in suggesting that they do something different than the exact thing that they did, because apple is flawless with marketing and product differentiation. And the iPad is _fast_.<p>I can't wait for more footnotes from the revolution.
