Sega Done with Sports, Take-Two Launches Label
Gamespot has the news that Take-Two Interactive's MLB deal has already had repercussions. Sega has gotten out of the sports business, selling their internal sports studio Visual Concepts to Take-Two for a bargain price. This newest addition in hand, Take-Two has turned around and launched a new game label entitled 2K games. From the article: "2K Games will incorporate Take-Two's internally owned development studios Visual Concepts, Kush Games, Indie Built, Venom Games, PopTop Software, and Frog City Software, as well as the team at Take-Two Licensing..." This new label will have a subsidiary specifically tuned for sports titles. As expected, it appears the sports game market is now going to fall to only a few companies.

Multiple Firefox Security Flaws Discovered
Too bad I can't trust Firefox due to the fact that Firefox is full of gaping security holes. Firefox has so many security flaws you could drive a truck through them. These horrible security failures include:
-Installing Firefox requires downloading an unsigned binary from a random web server
-Installing unsigned extensions is the default action in the Extensions dialog
-There is no way to check the signature on downloaded program files
-There is no obvious way to turn off plug-ins once they are installed
-There is an easy way to bypass the "This might be a virus" dialog
For more information on these security flaws, be aware that Firefox has also killed Linux - NOW THAT I HAVE FIREFOX, I HAVE NO NEED FOR LINUX! Yay open sores!
Sega who?
Suck it.
