"You are both always in control"

First thing you see in the video is that this isn't true

The demo game has some questionable issues.

The un-design is what makes it appealing to me

No shock really, they seem to have been completely stagnant for years now

Because no one would care?

Tumblr/Flipboard do this better already and the data can be anywhere from the internet not locked up in Flickr

Flickr is a brilliant lesson in how not to run a company

Seems that Google can't program smooth animations even on an OS that was built with them in mind

This is the main issue with Apple Maps.

- Type Pub name, "Not Found"

- Type Postcode, It points to completely the wrong street

- Type street name/number, it thinks I mean some street in America (Map screen was focused on london)

Looks great but Windows only is pretty short sighted when the generative artwork community is mostly mac orientated, just check out http://www.creativeapplications.net

How is this a surprise, it's right there in the app store documents.

This is Microsoft complaining they should be except from the rules just because they're big. This is the beauty of the App Store, doesn't matter how big you are you still get treated the same as the little guy

"what I loved as a kid wasn't that I was building a replica of some fictional universe, it was that I could create the universe in my head as I was building it."

Completely agree, this really saddens me too. Played with lego so much as a kid and I never tried to build things from films. It should be about your own imagination

Lego sets based on movies are such BS. It should be about your own imagination not just recreating star wars and harry potter crap

Been saying for years they should be pushing it for games instead of web 2.0 apps (which it is terrible at)
