Codename: TriDefense 2
Almost a year after the original release of TriDefense we want to say thanks to the more than 200,000 users that downloaded and played our game. We’re are really happy that our first game was so popular and loved (and hated!) by so many people.
Now we’re hard at work with the next release for the iPad, codename: TriDefense 2.
The upcoming iPad release has two main objectives:

Flash Carbon Footprint of NYTimes.com = 100 Toyota...
I’m sure you’ve already noticed that when you enter sites that have Flash content, your notebook starts revving up the fan to cool down the CPU. Most of the time, this Flash content is just useless, blinking, scrolling things that serve the only purpose of wasting energy.
Well, the other day we were wondering how will this compare to the CO2 emissions of a car… our rough...

RingRun - The Future
Since we’ve submitted the game, we’ve been hard at work porting it to the iPhone/iPad platform.
One of the most interesting challenges we’re working right now is making it a network game. If you’ve played the game you’ll know that it’s very fast and network latency can be critical.
We’ve just been told that RingRun was not selected for Gamma 4.

RingRun - Our Gamma 4 submission
RingRun is our submission to Gamma 4 . It’s is a fast-paced multi-player arcade game that you can play with just one button.
Press the button to switch rings and collect stars. The runner with
more stars when the time is over wins the game.
Simple right? Well… not quite!
Crash another player from behind to make him lose stars. Crash
head-to-head and suffer. But wait, you...

The Irony of Continuous Innovation
I’ve posted about Lautréamont before, and how he perceived progress back in 1870, but really… that’s hardly an original thing to do, we could name quite a few others who have been inspired -oftentimes blinded in fascination- by the brilliance of his sayings.
It’s not without a great deal of irony that us technologists/artists/scientists/geeks turned entrepreneurs look...

On Progress and Ideas
Not only the “montevidean” pre-figured surrealism and wrote one of the most influential literature works of french literature before he died at age 24, he also had something to say on progress and ideas, giving some insight on how our ethos is at play when we want to be both innovative and true at the same time.

Informed Innovation
For those who want to learn and dare to dream and build, instead of convince themselves of the gospel of web 2.0 shiny stuff, the history of the web is richer than it looks at first sight.
Many of the ideas we now see partially implemented today have been around for many years, some of them for decades, and others for as long as a century.
I’m sure you’ll find this presentation fascinating, I...
