Pirates: Constructible Strategy Game (Web)
Get your first look at the pirate life sim.
It's time to fire the cable guy. And the satellite guy. If you have a high-speed Internet connection, you have so many new ways to watch shows and movies on TV that you don't need those guys any more. I can connect my laptop to my TV to watch YouTube videos and network shows -- NBC, CBS, ABC -- online.
Ubisoft's medieval roof-hopper blitzes UK sales chart, Mario enters at five.

All the analyst talk is about who will win the important 2007 holiday sales, Nintendo Wii or Sony PlayStation 3. Can it really be all over for the Xbox 360? So where does that leave the poor old Microsoft Xbox 360, the one with the year head start, the excellent online service and the deep and ever broadening library of games?
Perhaps only Australians know the Xbox 360's charm, or perhaps it is due to the ever-perplexing exchange rate (PS3) and supply chain (Wii) conundrum that leads Australians to the Xbox 360. Whatever it is, for Australians it seems the favoured current-generation console for the beach house this summer is the Xbox 360. But that probably won't please Microsoft too much, Australian sales figure by comparison to other markets are miniscule.

17Lamp.net: "I was honered to be a guest at the founding meeting of the Freedesktop Group Bejing (which is part of the College Open Source Society) last Saturday, November 8, 2008 at Tsinghua University and to introduce LXDE to some of the brightest IT students from universities in Beijing."
GPS products maker Garmin has pulled out of its bidding war to buy digital maps company Tele Atlas, and instead extended its contract with rival maps company Navteq.
Garmin's announcement Friday comes at a time of rapid consolidation in the market for digital mapping services, which are licensed by online companies such as Google and Mapquest, but are also vital to companies that make GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation equipment.
Garmin had been battling for Tele Atlas with GPS products maker TomTom International. TomTom made the first bid of about €2 billion ($2.9 billion) in July, and Garmin countered with an offer of €2.3 billion late last month. TomTom shot back last week with an all cash offer of €2.9 billion, which now appears to have sealed the deal.
Garmin said Thursday that its subsidiaries, Garmin International and Garmin Corp., have signed a six-year extension to their digital maps contract with Navteq, allowing them to continue using its data until 2015. They also have an option to extend the deal for a further four years.
In light of that development, Garmin said, it will stop pursuing the deal to buy Tele Atlas.
Navteq has also announced plans to be acquired by Nokia for $8.1 billion. The Finnish handset maker has said it will continue to license Navteq's digital maps on a stand-alone basis, allowing Garmin to keep using the service even after Nokia acquires it.
The outcome of all the dealings could be significant for consumers, who are being offered location-based services in a wider range of products, including new cell phones and other portable gadgets.
GPS makers say that by owning the mapping service companies they can offer more up-to-date maps to their customers. Today the digital maps that appear in GPS systems can be six months out of date.
Nokia's purchase of Navteq should allow it to offer GPS service in a wider range of its phones, including lower-priced models.
Separately this week, Garmin and TomTom said they had settled all of the outstanding intellectual property lawsuits between the companies, including cases in the U.K., the Netherlands, and the U.S. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.

Universal Pictures has picked up a romantic comedy pitch by Jessi Klein called Walk of Shame, with Stuber/Parent set to produce. Currently, the main plot is being kept hush hush, but it will supposedly revolve around a group of single New Yorkers who blah blah blah ... and then one of them finally finds love. Deal marks the first feature script sale for Klein, who once worked as a development exec for Comedy Central, as well as a stand-up comedian. Recently, she sold a comedy script to NBC about the behind-the-scenes world of an Oprah-like self-help show.
Even though they're being tight-lipped about the story, those of you who have spent time in a dorm room should know what the "Walk of Shame" is. Usually the phrase is geared toward women (though I suppose it could be applied to men too), and is used to describe a person who's walking home following a one-night stand, dressed in the same clothes they were wearing the night before. That, my friends, is the "Walk of Shame." Since women usually wear some sort of sexy outfit when enjoying a night out on the town, it's often easier to spot "The Walk" each morning because, well, who wears a tight leather mini-skirt and a low-cut tank top to class or work? Unless you went to school on Long Island (as I did) -- you'd be shocked to see some of the outfits those girls wore to their morning classes.
In case you feel like avoiding "The Walk" in the future, there's a survival guide out there for you to check out. Not, like, I've read it or anything. I suppose it would be a bit too personal, but you know I have to ask: Who out there has taken the Walk of Shame?
