I'm sure Leo's heard it all by now. After all, he's been doing this sorta thing for years. But I think this may have been the first time he heard this particular problem said so bluntly. Yeah, we've all been guilty of it - piggybacking off someone else's WiFi, but this lady doesn't just say it was a mistake, she straight up admits to it willingly and gets a bit upset when it suddenly disappeared one day.
Gizmodo posted up a pretty interesting piece the other day about "removing yourself from under the big G's shadow" as they put it. I'm not against the idea of leaving Google or anything, but I find it interesting that people believe that leaving the company's services they'll somehow cover up private information they don't want people seeing. News flash: Google isn't the only one with access to your private information.
For instance, your every move is traced by your ISP; they know what you're doing. They know what's your favorite porn fetish, your bank of choice, where you live, and many other vital pieces of information about your individual self - though, people are either completely oblivious to this or just simply choose not to pay much attention to it. People don't like to think that big brother's looking over your shoulder, but they are - maybe not actively, but if they chose to they could, and how would you even know about it?
I'm not taking Google off the hook for their actions, what they did displaying nothing short of lack of consideration for the end user, but what I'm saying is that the some people who've vested so much into Google have started to lose sight of what exactly their relationship with them entails. They're not your friend, they're not a confidant, they're not even someone who truly cares about you. What they are is a business; a business built to make money from your continued use of their product.
The rest after the break!
You have come a long way Bungie, judging by these screenshots of course. But in the end, it will all depend on whether Halo Reach is a good game or not, but right now these screenshots and artwork are giving us a glimmer of hope that Halo Reach will live up to the 4 games in the series so far. Right now are the only way we can judge Reach, but in terms of level design, ambient feel and overall atmosphere, this looks to be a great game. We've found some great artwork, along with some hi-res screenshots for your viewing pleasure.
All I can say is this made my day. Those crafty guys over at XKCD have done it again, making us ROFL screaming, "how did they think of that?" I love this kind of stuff.
We posted earlier about Apple's new rules regarding what was now deemed unsuitable for the their App Store, and while I'm sure some developers were worried about what that mean, I don't think they would've seen this coming; Apple cleaned house by removing over 5,000 apps for violating the new rules of "excitement and titillation" - Read it HERE
Sony, the company that brought us the fantastic PS3 and its endless amount of SKU's - 7 total to date - have submitted two new models in question.
This'd bring the total count to 9 variations of the PS3 since its launch back in late 2006. Supposedly, the new models are completely unchanged in their function but have a few small hardware changes that require it to go through FCC submission again. No images or word on release for these new models are available at this time.
2K Games brought you Bioshock 2 this month and while it wasn't as good as the original, it was still a great game. One thing Ricardo and I weren't so enthusiastic about was Bioshock 2's multiplayer, which is still broken on PC by the way, which just doesn't pack enough of a punch to compete with other "better" multiplayer shooters out there.
Well regardless, 2K Games seems to think Bioshock 2's multiplayer has some kind of fanbase, with the company announcing it's first multiplayer focused DLC for the game, entitled the "Sinclair Solutions Test Pack."
DLC details after the break!
