It's not just for one game...
Since Betanews' original report last Wednesday, dozens of readers have e-mailed their own reports of account issues, most dealing with Sega's Kingdom Conquest.
Additionally...
Nearly every victim had a gift card balance on their account, and some have reported that their credit card and/or payment information had been removed from their account. This indicates that Apple likely is aware of the attacks, and is actively trying to protect its users.
In all cases, whether they're admitting the hack is occurring or not, users are having little trouble getting their money refunded to them.
How can we be sure when OP used the phrase "adventure games" three times?
Ask Slashdot: Best Adventure Game To Start With?
One of my daughters... has become interested in adventure games... and I'd like to know what Slashdotters thought would be the best set of adventure games to start her on.
If you're looking for graphical/point-and-click adventures and cheap entertainment all in one ball of wax, I highly recommend the free remakes of Sierra's King's Quest I, II and III as well as Hero's Quest. They're available from AGD Interactive and did I mention they're free?
'fraid not. Kogan is an Australian brand name, sure enough, but all of the manufacturing happens through third parties in China. Kogan manufactures about as much in Australia as Apple does in the United States.
I got a couple of chuckles, too, but I must be guarding my lawn too closely because I felt most it was utter crap. Invade Sweden because it has 69% of the worlds' untapped ass? Funny. Kill all black people? Not so much.
You should probably read up on various court cases involving Monsanto. There's more to it than just Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser (holding over seed).
Non-GMO farmers, however, run the constant risk of their crops being contaminated by pollen from patented genetically modified plants. If a farmer has a forward contract for non-GMO corn for sale in Europe, and her corn fields are pollinated by a neighbor’s genetically modified crop, then the farmer will have to breach her contract with the European buyer and possibly have to pay damages. At best, the anticipated premium from selling the non-GMO crop will be lost.
And TFA suggests that Skype has never gone down before, which is BS. 'Disappeared from the Internet'? Seriously?
Yeah, I had to laugh when I read this in TFA...
I confess to having run Internet publications using Skype as an instant messaging service for over seven years now.
In all that time the service has never once failed - until today.
It's not like there were world-wide outages in 2004, 2007 and 2010, now were there? Those are just three examples - I guess Mr. Hales has a short memory.
Other than that, Jared Smith if factually wrong. Windows has for years supported dynamic configuration of the firewall, and Windows is certainly a "mainstream" operating system, even if he wishes it wasn't so.
Yes, I WTF'd that too. As I sit here in my Firefox browser on my Gnome desktop I remember these silly dynamic firewall thingies called ZoneAlarm and Internet Connection Firewall (aka Windows Firewall) that have been kicking around since the years 2000 and 2001 respectively.
Hate to burst your bubble, but Windows CE did and still does (there are still new products with it) run on ARM. Endianess is not a hard problem in high level languages.
Additionally I had to laugh at this:
While this means there won't be many compatible apps at launch, it also means this will be the first full-bodied version of Windows that won't (initially) be susceptible to viruses and malware...
All the malware that ran under Windows CE can probably be ported to Windows 8 ARM with little to no effort.
We got sick of broken or freezing games when someone tripped over coax or wanted to go home and had to disconnect, so we went high-tech and bought a 16-port 10baseT switch and cables.
Ah, the memories of dragging a 15" CRT and tower computer all over town... especially when it was full of heavy 5 1/4" hard disks.
Russians have been playing with huge ground-effect transports, Ekranoplans, since what - the 1960's? There's plenty of WIG (Wing In Ground effect) boats around. Hardly new stuff that needs a lot of research.
Can you provide some more info about this? My fiancée is type II and really sick to death of the eight jabs a day routine (four for testing, four for insulin). She was recently trying a course of Diabex/Metformin tablets under doctor's advice but wound-up spending a week in hospital with vision problems and headaches after her BSL's went from their normal controlled sub-8 to something like low 30's.
You should probably learn to read. On the first link is the paragraph:
The hardware being offered is no slouch either. It uses a 700MHz ARM11 processor coupled with 128MB of RAM and runs OpenGL ES 2.0 allowing for decent graphics performance with 1080p output confirmed. Storage is catered for by an SD card slot. It also looks as though modules can be attached such as the 12MP camera seen in the image above.
On the third link, the last picture is captioned:

Everyone's focused on the tail rotors, probably because the tail section is all we're seeing in photos of the crashed helo. Most of the noise, though, comes from the main rotors and engine noise reflected off of them. Whatever stealthy helo they were flying it was most likely using Eurocopter Blue Edge blades, or something similar, like this concept shows here.
Why is a rental car agency liable for an accident caused by one of its renters?
I stopped reading here, assuming the rest of the argument is equally wrong. In many countries, including the US, the owner of a vehicle is liable for injuries caused by the vehicle. Thus, the rental agency would absolutely be a defendant. Whether it's a private vehicle, a government vehicle or a rental vehicle it's up to the owner of the vehicle to identify the driver of the vehicle at the time if they wish to excuse themselves from liability. This is even the case for speeding tickets and other infringement notices - they often come with forms to identify the driver if it wasn't the owner. Bennett's obviously never had a speeding ticket.
This is actually different to ISPs. Although the ISPs are in effect renting out their ISPs, in most countries ISPs are shielded from liability for the actions of their users. It's generally expected, though, that the ISPs will be "good citizens" and identify the users of their IPs (at specific times, since often dynamically assigned) upon the receipt of a court order.
Two of TFA links say it has a 12MP camera onboard. That's nearly one third of the system's 128MB RAM used for a single image capture - I wonder if they mean 1.2MP?
100 kilograms of helium 3 could be obtained from processing a 2 kilometer square area of lunar soil down to the depth of three meters. That amount would run a 1,000 megawatt fusion reactor for a year.
You can't just pile software on top of a broken system/design and magically have everything secure.
What surprises me in all this is that the banks are *not* jumping all over these companies for exposing consumer credit card information - whatever happened to PCI Compliance?
I hate to break it to you, but linux isn't the solution to everything.
I use linux (I'm forced to use Windows at work), but when the IDS detected an attempted breach at my previous company a few years ago the source wasn't a Windows machine - it was an employee's linux machine at home that had its security config was royally screwed^H^H^H^H^H^H^H open and unfortunately had VPN access to the corporate network.

Can you get your MemShrink guys to look at Nautilus and gnome-panel when they're done? :)
Firefox didn't even exist a decade ago.
The memory leak bug? There was only one?

There are other problems for people not even "interested" in infringing Monsanto/Cargill/ADM technology. For example: Pollen Drift and the Bystanding Farmer: Harmonizing Patent Law and Common Law on the Technological Frontier:
Non-GMO farmers, however, run the constant risk of their crops being contaminated by pollen from patented genetically modified plants. If a farmer has a forward contract for non-GMO corn for sale in Europe, and her corn fields are pollinated by a neighbor’s genetically modified crop, then the farmer will have to breach her contract with the European buyer and possibly have to pay damages.

No, neither article states that.
