GameHub Lite, GameNative & the Android PC Revolution

Our first post of the week was on Sunday when my friend dash posted their next Developer Interview!

GameHub Lite, GameNative and the Android PC Revolution: An Interview With the Developers

The notion of running full PC games on an Android device used to feel like a bit of a hack: sideload this, patch that, hope your phone didn’t overheat, and pray the games even work. But over the past couple of years, thanks to faster mobile hardware, better compatibility

Mozilla's AI Sin

Finally, on Saturday, I penned an impromptu opinion piece about Mozilla's latest AI abomination: AI Window.
