If someone had suggested hacking the Move for making cool new stuff, they'd probably already had all their computers seized while hordes of Sony lawyers darkened the skies above their home.
Mickey Mouse was created in 1928, two years prior to Betty. So how is he still protected if Betty isn't? I smell corporate lobbying perverting the purpose of the copyright laws.
Australia wants to ban zombie games, where the targets are already dead. Seriously, what were the odds they'd allow dismemberment of still living ones?!?
Okay, so hundreds of millions of safe transactions versus 300 crimes or so. That means you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning while being beaten to death by a clown than to be contacted by a murderer looking for a victim through Craigslist.
Anyone who would willingly give their banking info to the nigerian prince should have all of his office network passwords revoked instantly for being a moronic security threat.
The rest of the time, the movie relies upon suggestion to do its work for it. And because the gore is limited to a single scene, said scene is legendarily effective.
I highly recommend you watch the Doctor Who episode Blink. You will never watch a statue again without being afraid of blinking at it.
The words horror and gore seem to be getting used more and more interchangeably these days, though we need to remember that they do not mean the same. Horror does not need skin ripping and blood to make us terrified, only our imagination of what terrors lie on the other side of the door. Likewise, gushing blood is not always a terrible sight, as Leslie Nielsen's Dead and Loving It proved. What works so well in horror, what will always work... is the unknown. The gnawing darkness of ignorance at the outer edge of well-lit areas. Nothing can ever terrify us more than the notion of dying suddenly without even knowing why.
Apparently Slashdotters don't understand the moral presented in popular sci-fi movies, either. I guess having a robot as the 'goodest' character in the whole franchise was too subtle.
And it only cost us 99% of the human population and the destruction of all the civilized world to build it, too!
There is this pervasive "common sense" among media outlets that adult material does not sell. Make a game that Wal-MArt will not carry, gamers will ignore it. Make a film that children cannot be taken to, it will not sell DVDs. Does it really make sense? The multi-million dollar porn industry certainly laughs at that one, all the way to the bank. Give geeks movies and games with sizzling hot sex and gritty, satisfying violence and rate it R - they will flock at the doors to give you their money.
But but but... without mass hysteria, how are we going to divert economic assistance to the poor into funding government initiative aimed at revoking civil liberties?!?

This is not how copyright works!
Didn't the Lone Gunmen demonstrate this in one episode?
My searches don't seem to be turning up quite so many fake download sites with "certified full download" links anymore, good riddance to those.

Trust the government to find a multi-million dollar replacement option for the 35 cents latex glove.

In soviet Russia, software logs out of YOU.
Will she accept my friend request?
They should fetch more than the "slightly peed into" suit Doctor Venture is trying to sell at his super science yard sale.
That's bad? I'd rather we have more thugs - to help against government.
I'd rather have fewer thugs who help themselves against the citizenry.
Or is it just another facial muscle recognition gizmo that forces you to squint and scrunch your forehead?
"Excuse me sir, but all the GPS hoodlums are reporting from the same location, every day!"
"Dear god, they've formed a GANG!"
Because kids who regularly skip school can be relied upon to willingly cooperate in keeping and activating their own personal tracking device.

I call them "walls"
As soon as they find slashdot and our anti-Skynet stance, we're all doomed!!!

Despite being less dense than before, I'm pretty sure they'd still crush us all into a singularity-sized monodimensional pin dot.
