This shows a number of things:

I've got nothing here in New Orleans, Louisiana. Can't sign in at all.

I like how Tor's response is appropriately. "Yeah nice try, amateurs."

I'm all for change but think of the Spartans like RoboCop. They don't really need sights. Their visor's reticle is linked to the weapon.

Update: China has begun preparing blocking actions.

What's wrong with Strudel's assessment that Notch got very VERY lucky? If he merely "earned" it with the amount of work/creativity/innovation/whatever that went into Minecraft, there should be a hell of a lot more billionaires hanging around.

That's partially because most billionaires spend a lifetime of very hard work earning their fortune.

Semi agreed. I don't necessarily think they're morons. It's just yet another questionable, overly alarmist response to a hot social issue. It just comes off as feigned...or misdirected, at best.

"Free"

The Tumblr is absolutely perfect with Muzei and the Tumblr for Muzei addon.

Funny you should say that, considering nobody even mentioned Android 'til you chimed in.

It reads more to me as though they meant to reject it for the same ridiculous puritanical rules they've had since day one, they got wind of the bad press, and they were forced to change their tune to save face.

This video is probably one of the best commercials for GTA I've seen yet. It's pretty impressive how far video games have come.

I like how Microsoft went from a machine that actively killed itself over time to one that can survive beatings that could critically injure humans.

All that bullshit "branding" marketing speak is great and all but the name of the brand is ASSASSIN'S Creed.

Pretty sure that warrants a death sentence in Abu Dhabi.

Cool. That looks a hell of a lot like that awesome effect from a certain movie I won't name, to avoid spoilers. If any of you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. I kind of wish the movie went a little farther with it because it looks even more interesting applied to these scenes.

Simple. Something along the lines of the same bullshit rhetoric they used against the ACA.

Yep. That was disappointing. The whole video I was just waiting for the quick clip of them falling at full speed.
