They also bought RAC9, developers of Sneaky Sasquatch (one of the best games on the service, in my opinion), and they've had an aTV version since day one.

In general, the idea of a single game being able to hop between a phone (which can turn into a handheld with a controller grip), TV box, and desktop/laptop is really interesting. Streaming can do that, but latency and bandwidth caps become issues; this sidesteps it by letting you run everything locally.

I'm more of a hockey guy, which has a much stricter salary cap than the NFL, and the Edmonton Oilers are instructive here: they had a bunch of first overall picks 10 years ago (including multiple franchise players), but the team itself wasn't competitive until management changed and could build a cohesive team.

I bounced around a lot between the three OSes at that time, and Flash was bad enough on the other two that I would almost automatically reach for Windows when I had to use it.

When the iPhone 4 launched on Verizon in 2011, you could either spend $200 and get locked into a 2-year contract, $300 and get locked into a 1-year contract, or buy the thing outright for $650. Since you didn't get a discount for bringing your own phone to Verizon, it was more cost-effective to get the subsidized phone.

Proton is them trying a different path towards severing or lessening the Windows dependence, in my opinion.

Also, the Bendix Diner is closed, likely permanently, because of fire code violations.

Disagree on this. Going back as far as VisiCalc, it's about a device making space for a killer app, and that killer app selling devices. Apple has torched so much developer good-will that even a lower price wouldn't make the space for a killer app.

When was the last time a new, mobile-first killer app came out?

The tech for in-cockpit capture and presentation of the races themselves was great, but the dialogue and basically everything off-track was boring or rote.

The big clue to me is when they visit the recruiter. The man is sitting at a desk and says something along the lines of "the galactic marines made me the man I am today", only for him to push back and reveal he's lost both his legs.
