Idle Idle GameDev - Android Game Review

 Idle Idle GameDev is another idle game for Android. 

These are named so because they "keep running" in the background (i.e. when you get they generate results that look like they were running). Developers love them because they can be very addictive (with the sense of accomplishment because of easy upgrades), they are easy to monetize (just sell points for upgrades or time boosts) and you can extend gameplay by having reboots with upgrades.

All of these apply here. Also, the whole UI are basic forms - I'd make fun of them, but it makes sense in the context.

On one hand, I really like the concept, and it has plenty of great ideas. I've played for quite a while and unlocked almost all visible upgrades. However, it is pretty buggy, specially skipping over updates - like showing having upgrade points except that you don't, after a while you discover this. Also, things like dropping all employees from bug fixing, and it still runs for who knows what reason.

So I can really recommend this for Idle game fans, but know that you will probably hit on some bugs on the way.

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - Book Review

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - by Ashlee Vance - is a very entertaining biography about Elon Musk (which as the title says, is the biggest drive behind SpaceX and Tesla, and is also involved in SolarCity - all companies with possible huge effects in the world).  The story half reads as a bigger-than-life fictional account of what a genius industrialist goes through to save the world from pollution (with Tesla and SolarCity) and to get us into space. The fact that it all happened makes it even more interesting. It also made me really want to get a Tesla. Well, kind of... The triumphs really do, but the listings of problems don't (irrelevant either way as they are not available here)... Less revisions and "free" gas would be great, though. I'd also love to get cheap solar from SolarCity! Overall, very entertaining, and pretty much recommended for anyone interested in any of the companies.
