GTA IV PS3 fights off resolution woes in the UK

360 vs PS3

The word that goes around is that the 360 has a slightly crisper look while the PS3 has less pop-up and smoother frame-rate.

Personally I've seen both run side by side and didn't notice any difference. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Grand Theft Auto IV leaked online

sold-out

The game is sold-out by preorders on all online game retailers. I really don't see this tarnishing the title’s launch.

Apple sued over iPhone caller ID

Others pay for this patent

I'm not sure about it but I've read in multiple other places that Nokia and SonyEricsson are both licensing this patent (and probably so is every other major mobile phone manufacturer). If that is true then I don't see why anyone would take Apple's side.

I see programmers like musicians.

I think of programming as more of a creative skill and not an engineering skill. In engineering you learn the rules and follow them to build whatever you are building. Programmers still look at the rules for reference but should always strive to create something better either in terms of functionality, efficiency, or usability.

A programmer is like a musician. Any good musician who has studied music for a long time and has been practising with at least one instrument and enjoying it, should have absolutely no problem picking up a second instrument and becoming good at it in less than a month. I've seen musicians being a able to pick up new instruments and play them well after only a day's practice. If programmers know how to program then the language is irrelevant and can be learned very easily.
