Apropos with Monday’s Link of the Day. And also why it’s become harder and harder to read X-Men.

In light of the travesty that is X-Men: First Class, here's something to chew about in reference to the DC and Marvel Superverse. When can we get an ending? Or are comics doomed to be about continuation and endless recycling of the story?http://resnikoff.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/superhell/

We are all going to IPv6 sooner or later. Today, they are starting to roll out the changes. If you didn't notice anything wrong with the internet, then all is well. You should test out if you're ISP is ready. Or is this only for ISPs?http://test-ipv6.com/

Yesterday, I asked a question about Twitter/iOS integration. Today's link gives an idea of what it was all about. Again, will this mean more followers, especially, those who use facebook? Or will Apple in the next release include facebook? Currently, glad that my only true social network persona resides on Twitter thus Apple's plans validate my choice. I wonder why facebook didn't join in or if they were even asked.http://www.fastcompany.com/1757764/one-touch-tweets-twitters-deep-integration-with-ios-revealed

The Lodsys story makes me sick. It (software patents) are stifling innovation. I think software shouldn’t be patentable. It’s like thought or music. Someone somewhere has thought about it already. You can’t patent an idea.

It's not just in game development, but is prevalent in the entire software community. "Crunch time" or, as the article calls it, "Death March" is plain foolishness. I don't doubt that there are times to put in overtime, but to make it S.O.P. is wrong. I think we need some explaining to do.http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/05/the-death-march-the-problem-of-crunch-time-in-game-development.ars

Software patents. They seem to be handed out like candy. They can be used like a nuclear bomb.As a software developer, I approach the idea of software patents cautiously. I wonder if they are a good or bad idea. My gut feeling is that they are a bad idea — stifling innovation, mainly. In-app upgrades?! Sometimes they seemingly obvious in their implementation that you believe a monkey could've come up with that. One-click shopping?! Software patents are around because the patent office is lazy. They can't be bothered to find a prior implementation of most pending patent submittals.Software is fuzzy. Patents on it seem to be too general to be of value. The patent system needs to be fixed.http://patentabsurdity.com/

Danny Choo went to Good Smile Company’s 10th anniversary party and photographed at least 100 nendoroids. I have a third of these…
