Well, it is very difficult to tell. Last I checked, South Africa had the highest rape statistics per capita. However, rape reporting is a serious issue for criminologists, and cultural and social factors greatly influence what percentage of sexual assaults are reported. Also, local law enforcement and larger…

Section 67 of India's IT Act, meanwhile, deals with "publishing obscene information in electronic form," but it's equally unclear. The closest it gets to a definition is "any material which is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest." Publishing or distributing any material deemed as such, however, can net…

So, you are saying that this is like a really dumbed-down Suikoden game? Well, that's nice, but I think I'll stick with the original.

I already send 480,331 angry emails to Prescott Pharmaceuticals every week. Man, their penis enlargement/Chicken Pox-cure pills did not work as advertised. I measured eleven, but only after the elephantiasis set in with the gout infection. . .

Yeah, but it would be an embarrassment to Bad Religion to be seen with these people. I mean damn. . . how can people even call these CDs music? Not like Robin Thicke is any better, but still. . .

Yes, it is. A terror threat at a University is usually the FBI's jurisdiction, as well. More than just the person who sent the letter, that person's online contacts could be investigated for suspicion of conspiracy. The FBI has a much more leeway when investigating across state lines and on the internet than local law…

This is a dangerous game that China is playing. One that -thankfully- does not seem to be working at all. The recent spat of negative news and propaganda against Japan, and to a lesser extent Vietnam, seems to be aimed at increasing rousing China's nationalism and diverting attention away from political troubles in…

You can read it yourself. 1 milliard (one thousand million, incorrectly referred to as one billion) in profit sounds like a lot, but that is only roughly 24% of their total income, the vast majority of that being from CoD, with Blizz effectively breaking even, considering the constant development costs. Also, their…

Acti/Blizz is on the verge of serious financial trouble, yes. Perhaps not as close as Ubi or EA, but startlingly close. Take a look at their FY reports from 2011-2013 and you will see some real problems. They make money hand over fist, but my point is that they spend it just as fast, and they have the lowest…

Yeah, WoW is, so was vanilla Diablo 3. But the thing about Blizzard is that they spend their money as fast as they make it, and they have the lowest percentage of their gross income going to Development out of the big three publishers: Acti/Blizz, Ubi, and EA. For the 2013 FY, the split was closer to 30%/45%/25% for…

With some of the high-profile departures at Blizzard, this is not unexpected. However, with WoW still bleeding subscriptions -in spite of a new expansion coming- and the company suffering in customer trust after the Diablo Disaster, not having anything new on the table could spell trouble for them.

It is also important to note two things about the Crucial SSDs: 1) Crucial's parent company, Micron, jointly owns NAND Flash factories with Intel. This means that the NAND Flash in the reliable -but expensive- Intel units is effectively the same as in the Crucial SSDs. The major difference being that the controller on…

Better mash-Up:

I am literally laughing at you right now. Nintendo of America knows this exists; they actively protect their titles. How do you think the internet isn't awash in even more Metroid porn? These companies wait for remakes like this to gain some momentum before shutting them down. This accomplishes two goals: 1) It wastes…

Are you asking me what I am talking about? as in: "You're talking about what, now?" Fine Bros. did their trademark "reaction" videos to copied news coverage of the Sandy Hook school shooting, fully monetized on YouTube. This was quite soon after the incident, and there was no educational value to the video to speak…

Indeed, I take great pride in "getting pissy" about people who make for-profit entertainment based on school shootings and teen suicides. Also, I take great pride in being able to capitalize the first letter of my sentences, because it works as a shibboleth.

One more time: Please no more Fine Bros. They are horrible human beings. . .

One more time: Please no more Fine Bros. They are horrible human beings. . .

Yeah. Please no more Fine Brothers. . . they are human parasites.

That is ridiculous. Nintendo is a noun, a proper pronoun. Calling it an adjective is like saying that your surname is an adjective for your given name. I understand that Nintendo didn't want the word used as a common noun to describe consoles, but this ad is just blatantly wrong. Toyota is not an adjective for Camry.…
