∞ Computer Passes 'Turing Test' for the First Time
A “super computer” has duped humans into thinking it is a 13-year-old boy, becoming the first machine to pass the “iconic” Turing Test.
I bet there will be disagreements, but it is a significant achievement anyway.
∞ JavaScript for Automation Release Notes
The JavaScript OSA component implements JavaScript for Automation. The component can be used from Script Editor, the global Script Menu, in the Run JavaScript Automator Action, applets/droplets, the osascript command-line tool, the NSUserScriptTask API, and everywhere else other OSA components, such as AppleScript, can be used. This includes Mail Rules, Folder Actions, Address Book Plugins, Calendar Alarms, and Message Triggers.
If this was one year earlier, I would probably continue using Evernote and OmniFocus with Automation, instead of writing my own replacement. I don’t know this is a good thing or bad thing, just hope I can release it eventually.
Hilarious. A Must Watch.

Cube Cube v1.2 Released with Ads Removed
Friends, fans, and others on the internet: Cube Cube v1.2 is released …1 week ago!
There are no game changes nor bug fixes in this release. However, as I believe ads-free will make the game experience much better, I removed the ads (and the IAP to remove the ads) in Cube Cube. Now you can enjoy it more :)
And one more thing… I just realized that I can check customer reviews for all countries in iTunes Connect, then found the following review from France:
Un très bon jeu, intuitif, ludique, qui demande de la concentration, de la mémoire , de la précision, de la réactivité et de la rapidité. :D En somme tout un très appréciable jeu gratuit :) Car le mode infini ne vous ennuiera jamais !
Just wanted to say that I are glad you enjoyed it, and really appreciate your review!
∞ The Original Star Wars Concept Art Is Amazing
Just amazing.
∞ 300 PB Total, Incoming Daily 600 TB
Our warehouse stores upwards of 300 PB of Hive data, with an incoming daily rate of about 600 TB.
That’s… cute.
∞ Threes: Letter to the Rip-offs
I only played a few times of the Rip-offs, however, I’m still playing Threes. I honor and admire it’s simplicity and replayability[1]. They often don’t come together, when they do, it must take a fair amount of work. It’s sad that not everyone could realize that:
We want to celebrate iteration on our ideas and ideas in general. It’s great. 2048 is a simpler, easier form of Threes that is worth investigation, but piling on top of us right when the majority of Threes players haven’t had time to understand all we’ve done with our game’s system and why we took 14 months to make it, well… that makes us sad.
On Rip-offs: with recent phenomena like Flappy Bird, I don’t know what the solution is. Moreover, like Marco said, I think there is really no solution to this. Accept it, ignore it, then make more dents in the game industry.
∞ The Go Gopher
The Go gopher is an iconic mascot and one of the most distinctive features of the Go project. In this post we’ll talk about his origins, evolution, and behavior.
Now I say Gopher is the best feature of Go. (second place goes to go fmt)
∞ Unity 5
So, what’s new? In Unity 5 we give you physically-based shaders, Real-time Global Illumination across high-end mobile, desktop and consoles, awesome audio, WebGL deployment, a 64-bit editor and much, much more.
This is yet another big deal for the game industry by Unity. I’m super super excited about the more advanced CG rendering features in Unity, as well as the WebGL deployment. It just makes Unity the Game Engine.
