    Imagination Technologies up for sale [2017]

    Sure, you wrote that, but then you jumped to the following conclusions: This depends on what you call "plans". Not licensing new IP is one thing, arguing that you owe no royalties on old designs is something else completely. Also, unrelated, this article you've mentioned: Man, that brought...

    Imagination Technologies up for sale [2017]

    Apple seems to make an assertion that they no longer have to pay licenses, period. Not using anything new doesn't mean not using anything old.

    Ad blocker notification bug

    Howdy, Looks like the pice of code identifying whether someone is blocking ads or not is broken. I'm using Opera with adblock disabled on B3D (cf. empty shield red arrow is pointing towards) yet this shows up: HTH, Dom

    Beyond3D Podcast

    Yay. One thing: I used to run a weekly video games podcast for about 150 episodes and it's not only very time consuming (audio polish takes 2-4x the length of audio, TOC takes ~30 min to produce) but also a tough sell. Audio alone is a beast if you want to get people to pay attention for the...

    Do exclusive developers push visuals more than AAA developers?

    No, it doesn't. I'm sure there's some sort of connection in your mind but there's none in real world. Unlike quite a few people on this board - you have very little experience writing code and working on large, cross-disciplinary projects. Please, educate yourself, then write from the point of...

    Do exclusive developers push visuals more than AAA developers?

    It matters that you develop for a single HW spec. But this still has nothing to do with 1st- vs 3rd-party. I thought this is about hard-AAA games. DC looked like a toy game day one. Despite delays.

    Do exclusive developers push visuals more than AAA developers?

    This is not a proof of what you're claiming. There are dozens of issues - others than laziness - that cause suboptimal performance of various titles. It's clear to anyone who's ever written any production, multiplatform code or at least worked on something in a large-ish organization. Not to...

    Do exclusive developers push visuals more than AAA developers?

    What evidence do you have that above is at all true? I'd love to hear about a 3rd party developer that decided not to spend the last 3 months of development on polishing and tweaking.

    Star Citizen, Roberts Space Industries - Chris Roberts' life support and retirement fund [2012-]

    I don't understand these sensationalized headlines. What the entire message from Roberts states is that there's a problem in getting FPS gel with PU and existing backend infrastructure. This required significant redesigns which resulted in FPS module being delayed. No date doesn't mean it's...

    Is 4GB enough for a high-end GPU in 2015?

    For full-screen applications preemption granularity and engine dependencies don't matter that much and GPU is exclusive to you and e.g. DWM won't try to preempt you.

    Nintendo announce: Nintendo NX

    I've worked with both. I'd take Windows source over Android any time of the day. :) What's your definition of "hacked" then? In order for homebrew to work on 3DS there's a chain of hacks used. Bug in Cubic Ninja is just a way to deliver payload which then exploits problems with software and...

    Vulkan/OpenGL Next Generation Initiative: unified API for mobile and non-mobile devices.

    WHQL tests are awesome. It's the lack of waiver transparency that's missing.
