The simple reason why video games are a target is that most soccer mom's don't play video games any more complex the Snood or Bejeweled.
My mom won't play anything but San Andreas. She loves the sound it makes when you run over hookers. And from looking at her, you wouldn't guess that she was anything more than your typical Christian single mother.
I really enjoyed the second Gamecube title. I thought it did a wonderful job of staying true to the source material while still adding in enough extra villains and game-related story to keep it interesting. The bits contrived for the game were as much fun to watch as play. I especially liked the stuff with Mysterio, it was hilarious. Not to mention the gameplay was seamless, and very intuitive. Plus if you got bored you could always roam around finding really high things to jump off of. I can only hope that the third title will be as good.
The trend lately to lease, license, rent, etc., rather than own, annoys me to no end. If I'm going to buy something and not own it, there better be a really major advantage somehow(i.e. I rent an apartment/house and someone else is responsible for its maintenance.) But with music, software, etc., I just don't see how leasing is beneficial to anyone but the seller.
Also, I'd like to apologize for using up this page's allotment of commas.
I was under the impression that while flash drives boasted impressive read speeds, they were fairly plodding in the write speed department. Am I mistaken?
"This is part of Sony's quiet software revolution," CEO Howard Stringer said at a news conference.
Revolution? Since when did jumping on the internet bandwagon constitute a revolution? Not to mention that anything that involves a press release isn't really that quiet...
One of the most controversial findings is the assertion that games are less engrossing than other media, with players having less of an emotional connection to in-game events than the events in a book or movie.
Obviously the words of someone who has never been ganked and camped by horde for 45 minutes.
2000 seems like a pretty meager selection for an offline reference. Did they skip more commonplace, and thus commonly known, subjects? Or is it going to be mostly facts that the average 5th grader would know? By contrast, the software put out by Brittanica contains 10,000+ articles.
I think the most comforting thing about this whole fiasco is that regardless of the outcome of the various suits, Todd Goldman will be lucky to sell so much as a stick figure drawing after this is over. His target audience is not the sort of crowd to take well to thier idols being threatened with lawuits, they'll see him as the bad guy even IF he somehow proves he didn't steal his work. I hope he likes working at McDonald's.
It seems like for every "realist" claiming that Moore's law will soon hit a ceiling, I see another ZOMG Breakthrough! Lately, the question I've been asking myself is, "Will we ever surpass it?"

I'm holding out for the version that comes with the working Mjolnir armor.
That would be "liquid chameleon".
So what happens when Eris is in my sign? WTFBBQ!
This just goes to show that even seemingly simple ideas can be powerful.
3 months? What the hell did they look at, counterstrike tips websites?
I'm applying for a patent on "A system of tubes, that carries information globally, so as to assist the procurement of pr0n."

Unfortunately, most of us are also lazy.
I'm not sure what's scarier, the idea that he's just another money- and fame-hungry asshat, or the idea that he might really believe his own rhetoric.
I bet this is the first time someone has ever used the phrase, "the chances are slim to none, and Slim just left town." in a Legal filing before.
I'm a web developer, what do you think?
I heartily endorse this. If I suck at maths then so should everyone else.

The reason for having cheesy mascots is so that programmers have an excuse to keep toys and stuffed animals on their desks.

Apparently AT&T missed this article. Who wants to tell them?
You forgot the embedded YouTube video...
