The Inquirer - Nick Farrell, Wednesday, 28 November 2007:
"Open sourcer, Alexander Strange was snuffling around the European release of the game ICO when he noticed new files SRCFILE.TXT and TRFILE.TXT and had a look at them.
In amongst the tangled code were bits of the GPL library libarc for compressed data handling.
Sony, which is a big champion of protecting creative rights, has failed to credit the code's author or mention libarc or the GPL."

When dying atop a tall tower please ensure you perform a somersault onto an adjacent roof. When being machine gunned, it is customary to shake violently while making as much noise as possible. Ultraviolent video by payndz. Deaths taken from the aggressive action caper "Commando" (1985).

Expects graphics in next game to be even better. Shock!
It's well done and it's the kind of movie that gets people's attention.
The last time Stephin Merritt and co. hit the road, it was 2004, and critics and fans alike were murmuring ?i. i? i?!? in an attempt to find deeper meaning in the title of that year's Magnetic Fields album, which was of course, named i. The title of each track began with an ?i? word or the pronoun ?I.? What WILL they think of next? 2008 brings us the answer in the form of a new record entitled Distortion, and you know what that means!

There have been rumors of a Godfather IV for almost ten years now. First, there was talk of Francis Ford Coppola returning to write and direct with Leonardo DiCaprio playing a young Sonny Corleone, and that production could take place in cost-effective Australia. That never happened. Now the rumor mill is suggesting that Paramount Pictures is silently developing one or two new Godfather films based on Mark Winegardner's officially sanctioned novels – The Godfather Returns and The Godfather Revenge – that carry on the stories and characters created by the late Mario Puzo. According to Moviehole.net, "'its only this month that Returns and Revenge films seem to have been ramped up to active-development status – meaning they'll probably get underway within the next year,' a rat within the ranks at the studios, tells Moviehole. 'I don't think the new film is going to be done in Australia [though], no'." Seeing as how several cast members from the original films have died – and the rest are too old to play themselves in Winegardner's stories, which take place during the timeline of the first two films – it seems Paramount will have to find themselves a new Corleone family. "They'll re-cast naturally," said Moviehole's source. "I guess you'll notice it about as much as Brandon Routh stepping in for Christopher Reeve in Superman [Returns] – a film that was supposedly set between Superman II and Superman III
The mainstream gaming machine is nearly all-powerful; it marches through the forest of the gaming world buying up or stomping down everything in its path. The machine takes pride in never rocking the boat, rarely taking a risk, and only once in an eon giving players something new. When games came of age developers took risks every time they created a new title, creating the same genres [that gamers are] still hacking and slashing through. Where are the genre-inventing auteurs today? They're in the indie games community. Indie games have been around as long as gaming, early developers working alone in garages or basements around the world designing levels and characters by day, writing millions of lines of code at night. For a great many folks that system never changed, and today UGO salutes the best of them, and speaks with some of the people behind them.

Userfriendly SVN (USVN) is a Web-based interface
to configure your subversion repositories. This
interface allows you to create new projects
without a command line client, and it requires
priviliged access to the server. USVN will take
care of managing the list of users which are
authorized to check out source code. This allows
you to delegate the administration of your
Subversion depots. USVN permits easy management of
access restriction on Subversion files.
License: The CeCILL License
Changes:
A minor security issue where unauthorized users could see the list of
files in a Subversion repository was fixed along with minor bugs.
Locale detection was improved. Special characters like + are now
allowed in directory names.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time
Pushing through high street crowds on a Saturday afternoon or squeezing onto a train packed with scowling commuters, it?s hard to imagine how any game could find fun in jostling with a belligerent sea of humanity. But with sprawling ancient cities teeming with life and endless opportunities for mischief, Assassin?s Creed shrewdly uses pedestrian gridlock as an ever-shifting backdrop for its diverse challenges and brutal combat.

IGN: "We're still two weeks away from the start of college basketball season, but you can feel the change in the air on college campuses around the country: students are getting ready to cram themselves into arenas, paint their bodies and rock the stands till the floors vibrate for their favorite teams. The faithful know that their every cheer could give the guys on the court that extra edge to win a game, cause an upset, and eventually propel their alma mater to the Big Dance. Capitalizing on this swelling of school spirit, 2K Sports will soon release their latest installment of their college basketball franchise, College Hoops 2K8, and this year, the fans in the stands have a larger role than ever before".

You may recognize Liebermann, or L-computing, from their fake multi-screen setups and crazily over-specced laptops over the years. This time, they've just issued a press release on BusinessWire (anyone can, pretty much) describing their newest Intel Quad-Core-based laptops.
This "upcoming" laptop will have a PCI-Xpress bus, hot-switchable keyboard languages, PuRAM Solid State storage, 24-hour battery life, and other stupidly crazy parts. We still don't really get what's going on with the company—maybe issuing these releases drives uninformed people to buy them on the pink sheets. – Jason Chen

A deadly virus has taken hold of the world - rejected by a few (the immune), killing many (the dead), and leaving the rest (the infected) - who live on to hunt the living, after dark. The following are voices paying homage to Richard Matheson’s classic novel. This is the experience of a dying mankind and the foretelling of a new world before we meet the legend, Robert Neville.
Even other directors want Jackson to lead prequel.

Seems like there's a VoIP device for every temperament -- you can go
supa classy, or you can try to be as
bland as possible, but most of them are intended for Skype. Not IPEVO's TR-10, though; it's designed for iChat, and it does VoIP with support for four-way conferencing as both a speakerphone and a handset. If geeky rebel radio is your thing, it records podcasts in tandem with GarageBand, too -- all IPEVO asks is that you fork over $79.90 before you start living the iLife with
Bruce Willis.

Trees are so last year. The vegetation of the future is the cactus, the succulent plant best suited to arid climates, barren wastelands and Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic deserts. For proof, you need only look at the games revealed during the last six months: first Bethesda's Fallout 3, then id Software's Rage, and now Gearbox's Borderlands. Road warriors of the world, unite!
But Borderlands can tick more buzzword boxes than just those related to flora. 'Co-operative' is on there, as Gearbox are designing the game from the ground up for both solitary play with AI teammates and four-player co-op with friends. 'Open-world' is another: Borderlands' desert can be explored and travelled in any direction you see fit.
