Who'd have ever thought such technology was feasible. Only in the world of a closed off iPad could this possibly be any kind of news. Please let us return to five years ago when things like this weren't newsworthy.
It's time to stop living in the past and realize that our brain power can be put to better use than idiotic grammar rules. I don't think even pessimistic people can say we'll still need to even use our brains in another 100 years as computers will be able to update our facebook profiles for us.
I'm not up on these sorts of things, it does look quite spectacular though. Does anyone know what kind of effects we might have seen on Earth if this had been directly towards us?
My mom is retired and came to visit for a couple of weeks. I know I was pretty shocked seeing her play farmville, she's not someone who I would have ever envisioned playing videogames and yet there she is, a decent amount of time everyday playing Farmville. I have to give Zynga and Facebook credit here, that's where she got hooked. I don't even have a Facebook account myself and never tried Farmville but props for them for making a game that can be addictive to someone a gamer never thought he'd see playing a game.
ISPs are private entities not a state. Like any business they reserve the right to refuse to do business with any individual for whatever reason they feel like. This is what competition is for.
As my phone requires a data plan, and if that data plan is then cancelled due to a violation like this what happens to my contract? Although I realize you could possible face a lawsuit over the content, I'm more curious about the possibility to escape from cell phone contracts.
"Since the police did not have a warrant when they used the device, which was not commonly available to the public, the search was presumptively unreasonable and therefore unconstitutional. The majority opinion argued that a person has an expected privacy in his or her home and therefore, the government cannot conduct unreasonable searches."
And how long before it's no longer reasonable to expect privacy, we can no longer expect it in our driveway or under our clothing.
I also enjoyed AC2... of course my gf and I both played Lugian tacticians...we'd run out intot he wilds and make mass walls and turrets:) Beautiful game for it's time, had a lot of promise.. and yes died out fast, I forget what we left for but we did leave AC2 for something else.
FFXIV crafting system is completely not macro'able, you actually need to base decisions off the color of the current craft, white/flashy = stable, red quality, yellow rapid I think and along with the fact you learn usable skills to equip from other professions that "proc" on occassion and become available in the next move making potentially difficult crafts substantially easier with use.
mmm AutoHotKey.. used that in the first AC myself:)
Agreed, I think the usage of the term bind is excessive. Somehow MS and RIM survive without external developers working on their products language I'm sure Google can handle it. And as TFA stated Google has OpenJDK developers right now, whose to say what the future will bring to android.
I've been playing for awhile now and will say that no mmo to date has actually made such a successful game out of crafting/harvesting. If you'e familar to EQII crafting it's somewhat modelled after that, with skills to react to certain actions (colors) but adds a very complicated system of needing multiple crafts to make one finished item. You can imagine the headaches however when everyone starts a game only being able to produce component materials.. yarn, nails, string, sticks, handles... They've designed the game to depend on a large number of component mats to get thrown together to make an actual functional piece of armor/weapon/tool. Only after a few weeks now are you starting to see some of this stuff flush out. The market system for for buying/selling materials, items between people is obviously horrible as stated in a multitude of reviews, and on top of this if you actyually try to do everything yourself.. which you definitly can.. you run into silly bag space restrictions, even using your npc retainer just to hold materials. They need to put housing in (to store stuff), and hopefully follow the EQII method of actually being able to put in crafting workspaces. I imagine they will do this before too long. I think the fighting/combat class system is solid, being able to mix skills from multiple classes into the one you're playing. While there isn't enough story right now I have enjoyed what I've been through, I find it a bit more intriguing than what other MMO's have produced, especially when you look at free plays (Aika, Allods etc.). I'm going to give them time, I think they've laid a solid foundation for something more with the crafting system, more than just watching a progress bar for 5 seconds to deplete to nothing. I know they have some mechanics as far as multiple member combat skill usage as far as figthing as well, that's going to require more than 111111. People need slow down imo, people say well when you get high level blah blah blah.. well if you're high level already... you haven't played the game as was intended, go pick up another tool/weapon relax and have some fun. It's not a race, it's a game.
Electronics Arts also announced the first wave of games coming to Windows Phone 7, including "Need for Speed Undercover," "Tetris," and "The Sims 3."
Tetris? That's a launch title? Ouch. Need for speed came preinstaleld on my droid, much to my annoyance. Wonder how much bloatware MS is going to get crammed in their OS.

Mein Kampf.. empowerment Communist Manifesto.. equality Rand... freedom Some great minds there, however they were applied.

The U.S.? You yourself use outdated names for nations. Please refer to the United Federation of Conglomerated Corporations properly.
ughhh frustration
I know I'm always streaming Kipper at my house. The dog with the slipper, that's Kipper.

I keep seeing prominent law professors mentioned but I have been unable to find the actual list through multiple links to the article.

Yes? dialup, dsl, cable, satellite, fiber and now 3G across at least 4 different companies.
Aren't most iPhones still on AT&T? I'm not sure why you'd need to emulate no service.

How is this an illegal search? It's within plain atomic sight.
Sorry you can't limit or ban research when there can be only one with the knowledge.
Could hook the iPad up with free wifi tethering from my rooted droid on Verizon!
The first parenting mistake would to let a child use an apple product.

Darn those courts using technology to discover all the pedophiles he covers for!

Launch titles typically are intended to show off new hardware/software capabilities. The release of Tetris in 2010 does not show off anything...
