With the focus of devs on 'push related issues' lately, I thought it might be interesting to examine what a 'push' really is.


thanks to dictionary.com...


Push

1. To apply pressure against for the purpose of moving

2. To move (an object) by exerting force against it; thrust or shove

3. To force (one's way)

4.To urge forward or urge insistently; pressure

5.To bear hard upon; press

6. To exert downward pressure on (a button or keyboard, for example); press

8. Informal: To approach in age

9. Slang

I believe "Push" is shorthand for "Push to Live" or "Push to release" -- it applies to incremental updates, etc. in the software/game biz. At least, that is the way I have heard it used (and used it myself).
