In a cost saving exercise Sony noticed that controllers had more buttons than needed. New controllers will only feature one directional button. To use it press the button and point the controller in the direction you want to move.
I'm a luddite because my phone does everything I need it to do (work as a phone)? When I want a camera I use a camera. When I need internet access I use a PC. I have nothing against technology, I just dont see the point in paying for something I wont use.
It would be especially good if all the apps were thoroughly tested. With all the stories lately about Android apps grabbing/using personal data it might be nice to have an app store where they tell you exactly what data it uses. Even things like how much processor & memory it uses while active would be useful info. Or how well it runs on different screen sizes. I have no idea if any of the stores already do this as my 11 year old nokia phone doesnt have apps.
I'm guessing this isn't really about getting a better image format. That is just a stepping stone to their real goal. It shouldn't be too hard to get it put into a chip (for cameras, portable devices & media players). Once that is done those devices should (with little modification) be able to use WebM video files too.
I try not to read reviews as these days they're little more than advertising funded press releases.
A few questions...
Is it actually any good? The video I saw of some gameplay made it look like a console game designed for the lowest common denominator. I understand them wanting to improve graphics and change it to appeal to non-civ fans but I'd be happy with a Civ4 that didnt run constantly out of memory.
Can you still zoom out to see more than 4 blocks away?
Open does mean incompetent. Microsoft are trying to hide that by keeping it closed. I'd rather trust the people saying 'its not perfect so help us make it better' than the ones saying 'we make perfect software' and being proved wrong time after time.
Most of the public wont hear about it. The companies that lobbied to get this Act passed are very closely connected to the companies that show most of the people their news & current events. Filesharing in the media is almost always shown in a bad way and they never mention it's legal uses.

Canadians pay a levy on blank media so the labels would still get enough money to buy more laws.
No, i'm visually checking my backup for data corruption.
The banned payments probably include advert spending, t-shirts and donations too.
They want a share of the billions and billions (are they up to trillions in their fake losses yet?) that is lost to piracy every year.
Anyone know the date the patent was filed? Rusty n Edie's BBS was around and being sued in 1997 for having online images which they were selling.
Usually to make those kinds of decisions I think you have to be on the supreme court.
When did the British become more uptight about sex than the USA?
We brits have always been a bunch of prudes.. or at least those who make the laws seem to think they are (when they're not involved in sex scandals).
Our adult channels are basically breasts and dry humping. As the comment below me states.. we think a topless woman is porn.
Their rationale is that if ISPs have managed to block all child porn.....
They have? I know they blocked wikipedo a while back for an album cover but are they really claiming to have successfully blocked all child porn?
Only until the UN allows then to block these kinds of stories.
How long until actors start selling their voice & likeness at different ages? Of course the MPAA will lobby to extend copyright even longer.
Stallone aged 35.. that'll be $12million.
Theres a sale on DeNiro at 40 this week only $2m.

I'm not sure if the UK has class action lawsuits.
No, he is simply deciding that these particular principles are more important to him than a slightly better job prospect.
If you want to know what has changed since the beta or what the differences are between versions head here..

MS will never acknowledge anything except that IE9 is better/faster/safer/blingier than the other browsers.
The point is that with IE9, all of the major browsers aren't that bad really.
Thats the way it should be. Your choice in browser shouldn't matter.
The public will never spend as much as frequently on buying politicians as companies do.

is that still a viable solution?

Play.com appears to be shipping it but it'll probably still take 3 days to arrive.

Does Spock still beep...beep...beep?
It'll also stop the monitor on my other PC flashing every time I switch inputs on this monitor
as the HDCP syncs up.

Unfortunately Valve say there are no plans for a Linux version of Steam.

The BBC did already did. Lets just hope they dont overwrite the tapes.
