It's particularly troubling this notion that spewing racial verborrhea is considered inciting racial hatred. When thinking of the latter, I'm always thrown back to speeches inciting violence against people based on their race. Not some monkey embarrassing himself on public. As tough as this may...

Ah, thanks for that. I was a bit doubtful that Steam would indeed consider expansions for all games the same way. I was pretty sure of hearing of game expansions on Steam that installed as DLC. But since I don't own any, I had to keep it to myself. It may be indeed have to do with how a...

And news editors. Oh wait! :D @Greg: Great mouse indeed the Performance MX. Still in love with it after a little over 12 months of usage.

I won't deny that Paradox has it wrong. When they release non cumulative DLCs (they are expansions really), they should provide users with a manager much like Bethesda manager. But the thought remains that while I can "easily" deal with it with retail versions of the game, I certainly can't on...

I must say, of all the nags for users of the new iPad, I think the biggest is the battery recharge time having doubled. If this is indeed true (the source for that is Gizmodo and I don't trust it for anything, including reviewing their favorite brand products), this is horrible. 9 hours of...

>> Herr Mueller and other patent experts Who other patent experts? As for Herr Mueller (*), he's president, chairman and founder of M-Cam, a largely unknown financial consultant and he is speaking on a Bloomberg segment. Quite interesting to see, not an employee, but the CEO of M-Cam speaking...

I confess I never gave the power supply a second thought. All I care is if it can handle my system power demands. I don't go cheap on it merely because of principle (I don't go cheap on anything because cheap invariably becomes more expensive). But as far as paying attention to the power supply...

You know, I'm tempted to side with Microsoft. Wait, better, I say Go Microsoft! Signed, Marfig. Pro anything that messes with +1.

Most of you know I'm only a newcomer to Steam. Despite knowing it since its infancy, I only very recently stopped resisting. And not really because of anything Steam could offer me, but because the market shifted towards digital distribution and made it virtually impossible for me to keep buying...

Probably a result of their DRM. Otherwise there's 0 reason for touching the game or the cache files when moving to another machine or re-installing the OS. Digital Right Management changing the world one legitimate user at a time.

Nah. Can't be that good when they are using Gentoo instead of Arch Linux.

Perhaps a pretty song, perhaps very relaxing, perhaps worth listening. I won't ever doubt that. But scientists claiming this is the most relaxing song ever written is the type of claim that gives science a bad name. Without any possibility whatsoever of properly applying the Scientific Method...

Hehe, Tharic-Nar. Spot on! Popcap games used to run an online javascript casual game of poker. You'd basically just play by drawing cards and scoring. You didn't play against others. The game had a chat room (it was basically more a glorified chat room, than an actual game) , where you'd play...

Yup. Careful. It was exactly the exploration of a new market that which saved Apple from an eventual bankruptcy. Although I admit that once you are on pole position of your new market, there's little incentive to diversify. In that sense I agree. However, I don't see how Apple can secure for...

I'm not sure it would be possible to see a full 3D MMO on modern smartphones. It eventually has to be a stripped version of the original game, like so many other conversions. Less features, less graphical requirements, much simplified UI (which also comes as a consequence of the reduction of...

Dear Dr. Phil, Today I got an email from a complete stranger wanting to be my friend at raptr.com. Out of curiosity I went to his profile page. This person has close to 6,000 hours of WoW playtime and 4,000 hours of Second Life playtime. Should I accept his friendship request? Dear...

I was laughing too hard. But man, I couldn't ever possibly date a woman like that. Heck, I would probably even refuse to speak to "it".

It would probably be near impossible, since these companies aren't for sale. Without an agreement between both companies, only a hostile takeover could allow Apple the control of any of these companies. Market regulators would probably stop Apple right there and then. But assuming they didn't...

I can certainly understand that, Doomsday. But just as Brett points out there's a far more damaging consequence to Mass Effect 3 ending; you are left clueless about the whole world you've been playing on for that past few years and you are nowhere closer to understand it and the whole drama that...

You know, I really have this stuck in my throat and it needs to come out. This is mostly your fault. I distinctly remember some people complaining since Mass Effect 1 of the game lack of choice and abundance of linearity. That it only provided an illusion and even the dialog system was one...
