Doug Purdy, Facebook’s Director of Developer Products, just announced that 230 million people played games on Facebook.com in the past 30 days and that 8 of the 10 top grossing iPhone apps are integrated with Facebook. This is an interesting bit of news when thinking about actual user interaction with the service and what third party developers could expect to see when building for the platform.

Facebook offers games directly on Facebook.com as well as an SDK to push data from standalone apps on Android and iPhone to Facebook. Both of these traffic sources are obviously quite sticky and quite valuable.

Considering, according to Chris Dixon, that 10 million users is the new 1 million users, it’s clear Facebook is still a “growth engine” in the online space in terms of traffic, engagement, and monetization.

Purdy also noted that Facebook drove people to the App Store and Google Play 150 million times in the past 30 days, bolstering its value as an advertising platform.

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)

C# - WPF - ColumnGroups Footer? (telerik) -

can tell me whether it's possible set footer each columngroups of radgridview in wpf using code behind ? i able on normal gridviewdatacolumn setting footer attribute true how columngroups? possible? no, don't think possible. telerik documentation has no such feature. you can set xaml code behind normal columns, not column groups... by default though column footers hidden, in order make them visible have set showcolumnfooters property true, per example: <telerikgrid:radgridview x:name="radgridview" showcolumnfooters="true"> ... </telerik:grid:radgridview>
