Update on Mike’s Move

Part of me really wants to jump on a skateboard or BMX bike, pump the Blink-182 / Greenday and try to capture my mispent youth.

Mike’s Special Project in FL

If you’re near the Tampa / Plant City FL area are a student or recent grad looking to get into the development space, drop me a line. I am looking for some interns / entry level folks for a new venture in the bot space. I need developers, QA, and BizDev.

Botched Sega Forever launch blighted by poor emulation

Sega’s performance issues stem from the use of a new emulator based in Unity. Older mobile versions of retro Sega games were either direct ports—as in the case of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic CD—or used a native emulator, instead of one passed through Unity.

• Chrome for Android goes almost ‘entirely open source’

In a post in the /r/Android subreddit, an engineer of Chrome for Android announced that the mobile browser is now “almost entirely open source,” with the bulk of its code now available in the open source Chromium repository just like its desktop sibling. To explain the use of the word ‘almost’ in layman’s terms, Google saves certain features — particularly those which communicate with your Google account — for its commercial version of Chromium, which is the Chrome browser.
