Sean Nagasawa writes: "You would think that writing for a site named Go Fanboy would somehow prepare me for the continual onslaught of "fanboyism" and blind faith that some gamers have in corporations. But the way in which people eat up the BS Steve Jobs spews about Adobe and Flash being sub-par is just amazing.
Jobs has somehow hypnotized the general public into believing that every other company on the planet is a money-grubbing bandit with low-quality goods that don't last. The entire time he sells this concept, he gets consumers to purchase a slightly upgraded version of his product on an annual basis while simultaneously making them believe the apps monopoly is a good thing."

Silicon Valley blog VentureBeat claims to have learned title of suspected Treyarch installment in series, long rumored to be set in Southeast Asian conflict.
For over a year, rumors have circulated that Treyarch's installment in the Call of Duty series would be set during the Cold War, or the Vietnam War specifically. Today, Silicon Valley blog VentureBeat claims that the game's title will indeed be Call of Duty: Vietnam when it is revealed on SpikeTV late Friday night/Saturday morning.
The reported confirmation caps speculation that began in October 2008, when senior producer Noah Heller said the best seller World at War would be the Call of Duty set during World War II. Then, last May, a That Videogame Blog article cited a "reliable" source as saying Activision was looking to license Vietnam War-era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet music for "Call of Duty 7." Call of Duty 7 had long been the name for the project used internally at Activision.

GrE writes, "Have you ever seen one of those obnoxious little technicolor Teletubbies bastards on your television screen and had the distinct desire to smoke them in the face with a shotgun? Well apparently you are not the only one, because a recent community mod to Left 4 Dead allows you to put the PBS staple 'on blast.' After watching the video I would even argue that a zombie 'Tinky-Winky" may be scarier than the actual zombies. Check the video for yourself..."
