Android trojan steals keystrokes using phone movements (Updated)
4 weeks ago by Nachimir
"TapLogger […] masquerades as a benign game that challenges the end user to identify identical icons from a collection of similar-looking images. In the background, the trojan monitors readings returned by the phone's built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, and orientation sensors to infer phone numbers and other digits entered into the device."

How Bots Seized Control of My Pricing Strategy

"a delightful futuristic absurdity: a computer program, pretending to be human, hawking a book about computers pretending to be human, while other computer programs pretend to have used copies of it. A book that was never actually written, much less printed and read."

Microsoft keeps it old-school with a pricey text adventure game, Visual Studio 2010
january 2012 by Nachimir
"Microsoft has jumped onto the free-to-play bandwagon with its latest game, a text-driven adventure called Visual Studio 2010. The innovative new game marries the traditional interactive fiction text adventure with its arcane commands and exploration with the free-form, open-ended gaming pioneered by the likes of SimCity.
There are two major modes to the game, a textual spell-casting game, and a more complex interactive puzzle mode.
Play starts with the spell game. The game has three difficulty modes. In the two easiest modes Visual Studio questers must cast spells to appease a malevolent gatekeeper known only as "the compiler,""

The Game Bakers – Money and the App Store: a few figures that might help an indie developer
january 2012 by Nachimir
Some useful iOS figures, and the people at the studio seem to be lovely (dealt with them a bit for the IGA). "even though SQUIDS hasn’t made us rich so far, revenues from the iOS version have almost covered our development costs and we are confident that its upcoming release on other platforms will make the game profitable and allow us to develop a sequel. And for The Game Bakers, that’s what all of this is about: in the end it’s not about getting rich, but about being able to make the games we want to make, independently."

Coding Horror: Working with the Chaos Monkey
november 2011 by Nachimir
"One of the first systems our engineers built in AWS is called the Chaos Monkey. The Chaos Monkey’s job is to randomly kill instances and services within our architecture. If we aren’t constantly testing our ability to succeed despite failure, then it isn’t likely to work when it matters most – in the event of an unexpected outage."
