Scumbag Facebook blocks posting Google+ links and invites

As if things couldn’t get worse for the Google+ & Facebook friendly rival, today news breaks that Facebook has figured out a clever way to prevent you from sharing links to Google+ and G+ invites. What happens is Facebook accepts the post as a normal link post, and adds it to your wall. Everything is fine and dandy, but the kicker is that the post is only visible to you, so you think you’ve shared the post publickly when in reality nobody else can see it.

Watch a patent war between two companies unfold - Video

The patent system is a joke — nobody with great ideas can ever dream of competing in the tech world. Once they have something cool, the big guys are already assembling their legal teams to bring the smaller company to their knees, take their patents and use them for protection after swiftly slapping them in the face, and walking away with a smirk on their face — And that’s what grinds my gears.

First look of Dr. Strange and Nemesis gameplay in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - (Video)

So we get our 4th Resident Evil character but Mega Man still didn’t make the cut? That’s some shady stuff there Capcom!

Battlefield 3 Gamescom Multiplayer Trailer Shows Why People are Excited

DICE has gone above and beyond when it comes to crafting Battlefield 3 — the destructible environment, the way the windows bounce off the hood of your jeep as you race to the battle-zone, dried water-spots on your goggles, or the sound of a jet as it peppers the skies with hot lead — people aren’t so much excited about the game itself anymore, they’re excited about feeling it.
