Tiny Tower Developers Call Out Zynga For Their Look-alike Game
Pardon me if I don't trust the "translations" from the party asking me to agree to the contract.
Of late, I've paid attention to how many letters I must type into "google" before it generates an auto-completed phrase I'm searching for.

I am profoundly impressed by how little typing is required. It certainly feels like communicating with an artificial intelligence.

This feels like value created on a giant scale.

My father was one of the first computer programmers: starting sometime around the late 50's, he wrote code in a language called octal, using vacuum tubes and wires. One of his first projects was to write a routine to calculate square roots.

Fifty years later, a computer knows that when I type "toc", I'm probably looking for the "Tournament of Champions Squash Tournament" presently being held in Grand Central Station. Remarkable.
This update sounds suspiciously like they have gone ahead with this idea. If so, I don't understand how people are ok with this.

I think the privacy policy is trying to say, "when you type a query into Google Search, you may see some of your GMail messages in the results." That could be surprising if you're not aware that it could happen, but generally beneficial and Not Evil (at least in my opinion).

This is ridiculous.

The sales person sold you a part Apple included for free, and you're saying it's Apple's fault?

Hard drives die - it's a fact of life. If you didn't have a backup how is that Apple's fault?

Saying "no BIOS, no keyboard shortcuts" shows how little you know. Simply holding down the mouse button while a mac starts up will eject anything in the optical drive, as will pressing the eject button on any Apple Keyboard, once the device is on (i.e. in this case, the EFI is loaded and it's at a grey screen because it can't find any OS)

Google+ is close to blackmail. Read what Rand from seomoz has written about it [1:2] (example quote: "[...] if SPYW continues to roll out to all logged-in Google users and Google stays as aggressive as it's been in the last 10 days with pushing Google+ for even logged-out users, the service will become a necessity for search and social marketers"). Google is using their dominance in search to create side benefits for using google+: you get your picture in organic results and massively increased clickthrough, amongst other benefits, by putting your content into google+ and playing the + game. This is a step past seo: seo was optimizing for google's algo, but now google's ranking algo forces you to push and likes/pluses content into their system. So once your competitors start using it, you have to as well.

Also, as you pointed out, I dislike social and dislike that products like that continue to intrude into my search results.

Can you actually point to a new part or dropped clause of the new policies that you're objecting to? Or did you just read the blog post and decide to share? Wariness is good, but innuendo does no one any favors (sorry, this sort of post really bugs me).

The analytics team continually repeats exactly out what they do with user data[1], and a two second search found the +1 button privacy policy[2]. Yes, they might be lying, but they probably wouldn't update the privacy policy then, would they?

The Worst Reasons Not To Exercise
Honestly, this isn't really even that bad. There are a ton of games ripped off of Zynga that are MUCH closer to the Zynga assets.

You could argue Tiny Tower ripped off Sim Tower etc.

The whole thing is stupid. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, even other giants.
Fair point, but they also show you the legalese version.

I know what you mean about being tuned into the buzz. I'm a suit wearing accountant, and about as far from the buzz as one can get. StageTrip is supposed to be an end-run around the buzz, right to the music.

Thanks for the head's up about being selective about who gets involved.

South Florida, hey? Point me to some of your friend's bands (or your own) and I'll start building up FL.
this is sad. zynga is sad. specifically, this habitual rip-offery. i won't call them shady, which i think is a popular opinion. not because i don't think they are, but just because i don't want to have to defend that position. i will however defend that it is sad.
Buybacks are fine too, but a lot of companies don't do either.
That sounds terrible, although I agree not evil. Although what is evil is they won't let me opt out of them using my email content for their ads in gmail. They say they let you opt out, but they just keep using it.

All of these recent changes has me considering moving away from GMail for mail and to Hotmail. I've already made the search change to Bing (over a year ago). GMail has been miles ahead for years, but over the past year or so Hotmail has almost comletely closed the gap.

I'd agree with you if they were just similar, but the mechanics are the exact same- every aspect of it. There's a difference between "standing on the shoulders of giants" and flat out cloning something- with the first you take an idea, improve it, and make it your own.
Music Downloading

Standing on the shoulders of giants generally means you evolve or build upon your predecessor. I haven't played either game, but this looks to be a plain reimplementation of the game right down to the mechanics with little or no change.

Based on other similar news stories in the past, it seems like this is Zynga's general business plan. While it appears profitable and is legal, it's hardly a laudable practice.

Just out of curiosity, does it also upset you that your ISP reads your email in order to filter out spam and verify the DKIM signature?

Ultimately, email that is not encrypted is going to be read and tamperd with in transit. It's an intrinsic quality of SMTP-based electronic email. Might as well get a nice UI and a few gigs of storage out of it :)
This seems to illustrate how painfully how out of touch the linux community is. As all the other OSs head towards touch, Linux wants to become more keyboard oriented.
I agree. The fair and practical method is the axe.
HN doesn't have a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml".... />; entry in the head, which is what most RSS/Atom feed readers (including, I suspect, Apple's Reader) use to detect the presence of a feed for the page. If you click the RSS link at the bottom of the page you should see the Reader functionality. Unfortunately, the feed only gives you the article titles, not the text. There's a comments link in the feed but it doesn't work in Apple's reader (it does work in Google Reader).

(updated: got a little happy with pre-escaping the HTML the first time :-)
If they don't like Zynga re-implementing their idea, they should keep adding features and innovating so their game is better.

You can't be against the patent game the big guys play but for protection against this kind of behavior.

I don't know. It's like saying that all those *ville are copies of Sim City. Maxis's games were centered on simulation, while this new generation of games are targeted to a much more casual gamer.

Here would be my concern, if they cannot match compensation, then they may not have the resources to be in the VC market. I do not know your compensation but I am going to assume somewhere south of 200k. If that is the case and there is truly 8 digits of investment equity then there should be no issue with carrying that kind of administrative burden. Now I know that those funds are separated from operational funds, but in a VC firm we are usually talking about a small amount of investors that enter the fund together, to claim that the funding is not there and cannot be obtained, to fairly compensate you would be a little disingenuous. I am not implying that they did, but if they do, I would question it in my mind. Keep in mind that it will be years before a first venture is liquidated for any return, so you could be at that compensation level for the better part of a decade with no bonus due to no equity positions being liquidated. While it has the potential to make you rich, you will also take a hit for a long time with no guarantee that any venture will ever pay off. I walked from a similar offer several years ago after an exit and for me personally if I where in your shoes I would walk to. If I had taken the offer I had I would still be waiting on the big hit as the group that made the offer to me, is now in the first stages of exiting some relatively small investments. The offer that was extended to me was around the 2002 mark so I would have waited 9 years for any payout.
This is business as usual for Zynga.

"They would sit and look at competitive products and write down all the features and make it obvious to us," the designer says. One contractor says he was offered freelance work from Zynga, related to mimicking a competitor's application, with explicit instructions: "Copy that game."

I've been doing this 30 years and I've never seen a title that didn't have some connection or another to some hit title. Some have it stronger than others.

I always say, when asked sage game design advice, that a hit game is like the center point of a circle. The closer YOUR game is to the center the more likely it's a clone. If it's far OUTSIDE the circle that it's just to far from what people know to be a hit.

The goal is to hit the line of the circle, which makes the circle move to include your game and maybe make it the new center point.
i do use that.

however i spend a substantial amount of time on other peoples systems and when using other peoples systems especially windows systems i avoid logging into google in case of malware. the default settings of google search are just garish these days.

i tried duckduckgo and while it was ok it just wasn't as good as google... yet. of course i'm not a fan of their new makeover either. i just prefer simple design.
Two quick things jump out at me:
(1) This is TDD, without the implementation part of it.
(2) There have to be some halting problem issues in here. It's actual realm of usefulness is constrained somewhere, though I'm not exactly sure where.

That said, I've worked with modeling languages along the lines of GAMS that work in this sort of manner. Define a problem - a set of constraints - equations, inequalities, parameters, and the like - push a button, and out pops a solution. Damn useful.

You could similarly argue that Tiny Towers is virtually identical to Farmville, except with a different skin applied. All involve mindless clicking, items (shops/services instead of crops) with variable 'build' times. They have the worthless cash and 'premium' cash (in-app purchases). Tiny Towers has very little game mechanics innovation over Farmville (besides maybe that elevator).
I think I can see why Google rejected you.

While I like the site and I personally appreciate that the site will get me right away into the flyer creation stage, I feel you should have an actual home page, with a "call to action" button and such.

Google may have a set of automated tools to simplify their approval process. A flag was perhaps raised due to the fact that there's not much content on the site other than a large blob of text under a contenteditable="true" setting.

Maybe you could move that text into a landing or a home page.

Also, they may have issue with the fact that the domain was registered less than a month ago (Not that I agree with that assumption, but this happens regularly to webmasters in India or China)

Hope any of this helps, have a nice day!
Neither email nor spam filtering nor any other kind of filtering should be the job of an ISP. An ISP should be a big, dumb bit pipe, nothing more, nothing less.
> I don't go into the grocery store and assume what I buy in produce is hidden from what I buy in the deli.

You probably don't talk to the shop assistant in produce about your medical problems and then ask the deli staff about life insurance.

You probably don't book a four night away break in produce and then meet a friend (who happens to be a divorce lawyer) in the deli, where the staff know all about what he does for a living.

You probably don't discuss homosexual relationships in produce and then call your boss, Colonel Gaybasher, from the deli's payphone.

One of the most valuable things about privacy is that it lets us compartmentalise our lives. That helps people we know by not inflicting parts of our lives they don't care about on them. It also helps us, by allowing us to explore and develop one aspect of our lives with people we trust to help us, without allowing others who we don't trust to know about it or interfere with the rest of our lives as a result. One specific example of the latter idea is that maintaining privacy means someone who is trying to assess us doesn't get incomplete information that they consider relevant and then jump to conclusions based on getting the wrong idea.

The likes of Google and Facebook are now so ubiquitous that the complete destruction of that privacy for millions of people is a profit-seeking executive's sneeze away from happening. It's bad enough that they rely on this sort of perma-snooping on their own users on their own sites for their own advertising. It's downright creepy that they are abusing the nature of the Internet and the ignorance of most people about that nature to spy on people visiting other sites as well.

Finally, Here's a Simple and Effective Training Tool That Shows You The Shortcuts On How To Master Drupal In Under Six Hours...
Not sure why I thought I couldn't respond to you directly, but I deleted the other comment and moved it here where it belongs:

Re the "just one language" thing, I can imagine I'm not making sense, because I'm not really communicating the context of how irrationally enraged I am over this. The truth is that I only enabled a couple of languages because I was just too angry and frustrated to enable the rest. I know it doesn't make any rational sense, but my reptile brain is telling me that goddammit, Google is not going to make me click on fifty little boxes just to fix them erasing my preferences. Not today. Not this user. There is a part of the brain that is trained to recognize when someone is jerking you around or abusing you, and when it gets triggered inappropriately, it is impossible to turn off. (I'm sure anyone who has worked in customer service will recognize what I'm talking about. Right now I am the bug-eyed paranoid who is convinced they are intentionally screwing with me for their own amusement.) So long story short, yes, it seems immensely important to me that I have to check fifty boxes instead of one, and I still don't have my unfiltered search results, not until I calm down enough to go click on all those boxes.

As for the problem of change, I can sympathize with the problem they face. I'm sure that globally minimizing user confusion and frustration is one of their goals. As for me personally, they'll have to count me in the "used the product incorrectly for years without realizing it and is now very angry about it" category.

UPDATE: EVEN ANGRIER:

So I swallowed my pride and went to work clicking.

"The page at https://www.google.com says:

The number of language restrictions is limited to 8, so only 8 of the languages selected will be saved."

That doesn't bode well. But then: "The page at https://www.google.com says:

Your preferences have been saved"

Ah, but guess which time it was lying :-/

So unless there's another way to turn off language filtering, Google will filter out every language besides your primary language and seven others. (Yeah, your interface language counts as one of the eight.)

That's terrible. Even without Google Translate, I swear I got useful information from a page in Polish once. Plus there are pictures, video, miscategorized pages, mixed-language pages (what happens with those?) and the simple coolness of finding out that someone in Vietnam is using an open-source library you committed a patch to. And of course, Google freakin' Translate! Unless Google is translating every single page it crawls. Which it might be -- that's something to think about. But it does very poorly with some pairs of languages, and if it filters out every term it can't translate, then it will tend to filter out commands and symbols. And here I am speculating about how it works again, which goes back to my original point.

With my track record today, I'm sure I'll find out I'm misinterpreting this somehow, but I'm starting to feel a little bit justified in my anger. Ah, I can't lie. I feel much less angry now that I feel like less of a fool :-)
If they believe it's encrypted data containing incriminating evidence, and you refuse to decrypt it, you may be charged with obstruction of justice.

You have no need to prove it isn't actually encrypted data. All you must do is debunk whatever evidence they provide that it is encrypted. The prosecution must present compelling evidence that it isn't random data.

That's one way of looking at it, but email without spam filtering is largely useless. There's just too much of it.

Similarly, ISPs filter all sorts of other stuff: forged packets, bogus routes, and so on. The Internet simply would not work without ISP-level filtering. Dumb pipes get clogged too easily.
Zynga is a bullshit company, they know it, we know it, but in the real world the people playing their games really don't give a shit as long as they can earn one banana per click. So they keep clicking, over and over. Welcome to the real world of internet marketing.
