Yes. PC only. Because you can only play it on a personal computer running Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, GNU/Linux, and maybe various BSDs. But you cannot play it on a Sony PS3, Microsoft XBox360 or Nintento Wii.
I doubt that these people actually realize they are handing in freedom, just like they didn't realize that stricter airport security meant that they needed to hand in freedom in airports and airplanes.
How on earth can you map the MAC (of assuming you wireless router) to a facebook account? Besides, it's the MAC which might be visible (don't know if it is) in the WIFI data a different one that the MAC used by the external interface which connects to the ISP?
I think Google could create some kind of arty super bowl commercial that makes a link to certain companies and Orwel's 1984. Ridley Scott could direct it.
Stop building your whole business plan around a new and rapidly evolving non-standard more-or-less closed communication platform controlled by a single entity. And I highly doubt 3rd party applications will go away, just various extra services those 3rd parties provide (and often charge for) will get less value. But so far Twitter has no replacement for my TwitDroid and Twirssi clients. And I highly doubt they will ever create an official twitter client for irssi.
UnrealEd 1 was VB6. UnrealEd 2 (and later) was all C++. Unreal shipped with UnrealEd1, and later was replaced by UnrealEd2 (because Epic moved to UnrealEd2). UT had UnrealEd2, UT2003 and UT2004 and UnrealEd3. And UT3 simply came with "UT3 Editor" because the stopped calling it UnrealEd in UnrealEngine3.
And users should charge Google for visiting YouTube so that get an income from advertising, and charge Google for uploading content to YouTube so that people will visit.
This starts to look like a circular dependency. We might as well not charge anybody and thereby save money on accounting.
The firm's CEO Cevat Yerli told Develop that Crytek already gives away a CryEngine 2 editor to the mod community
Epic Games has been doing that since Unreal in 1998. So it's not that special. Giving away an editor to mod a game isn't the same as providing a relatively cheap fork of the engine that people can use to create commercial applications, or even free for non-commercial applications. I wonder what this kind of competition will result in. Will Epic and Crytek shift more towards developing these engine forks, or will they simple keep it as a "small" side project.
Respectable stores like Steam will warn you about the types of DRM used by the game in clear terms
Steam only warns about the additional/external DRM, not about itself. There is no "Warning: to play this game you need to be logged in on Steam and have the game fully updated"
Because I doubt playing text heavy RPG or adventure games has a negative influence on reading. Saying video games are bad for reading is like saying eating food makes you fat.

Cool. Them I'm going to download 100 games a month, and thereby earn $6000 simply by downloading. I'm going to be rich.
Locking customers in.

Erm... right. But then it's still "writing" HTML and not "coding".
Writing source code is called "programming", not "coding". Coding is converting readable text to some sort of encrypted text.
And for the observant reader, yes writing Perl source code can be both called programming and coding.

I knew we had a dike system. But a dyke system sounds really interesting, how does it work?

How would anyone know if the guy in that picture even is the prophet Muhammad? :) is Muhammad smiling?
Is it simply the association? So,

a.k.a. CompuServ 2.0 ?
Guilty until proven innocent?
Simply don't show any form of intelligence and they'll let you pass.
"Cluster Fuzzed" would be much better, specially when somebody finds a remote exploit in their cluster code, then Microsoft will be cluster fucked.
I wonder how many "new" bugs they'll create by fixing the found bugs.
Anyway, nice to see that they're performing fuzzing tests, not enough people/companies do that. There's also quite little tool support for it.

EA didn't remove DRM, they replaced DRM. Instead of SecuROM on the Steam copies of that game you get the Steam DRM (erm... still have the Steam DRM).

They even have similar looking leaders - old guys with long beards wearing black.
Didn't know that about ZZ-Top
Not to mention that their logo is a friggin' bitmap.
