Matt Bertz of Game Informer reviews Crysis for the PC and lauds the weapons controls, graphics, sound and replayability. It looks a lot like its predecessor, Far Cry, and in the end offers a similar overall experience. The sandbox gameplay is among the best in the genre, and its lengthy single-player campaign largely makes up for some questionable multiplayer.
Yummy FTP, the File Transfer Protocol client for Mac OS X, has been updated for Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard."
Apple has conceptualized a means of displaying icon-like status indicators on the iPhone's displays even when the handset is locked and the backlight turned off, a new company filing shows.
Symantec's Norton Confidential Internet phishing and identity fraud protection software is now Safari-compatible, according to the company.

Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (rarely) or design (almost always). Feel free to remark on these items' relative worthiness for coverage and/or relative stupidity. And, as ever, we're open to suggestions for future posts either via email or in the comments below.
• "poetry is wack!!! i am stoned and emailing gaeker because that is how f'dup i am. please redact my email for my parents' sake. a gawker joke: i just went to choire sicha's website and all i could think was that his real name sounded like corey!!!!"
• "Anna Wintour's New Assistant???? Hi, WHERE did you get this info? And, where do I sign up. She may be hard to work for, but WHAT an experience!! Please send me details!!!!"
• "Don't know how to reach this Judith Regan, but if this is a message center for her, I am hoping she will read this note. How could you publish his book? Are we such sick people that you would want to publish something like this? Shame."
• "Those Columbia bitches ain't shit. 3 days? My friend and I would gladly undertake that 'challenge' for a week for some better blog (hint) as long as alcohol is allowed. NYU RULES!"
"I tested out 'twatwaffle' on Yahoo Answers' censoring software this weekend ... and guess what! It escaped unscathed AND got 5 thumbs up! Note: Yahoo Answers is usually very strict. it won't allow blowjob OR blow job ... Also, I'd like you to consider the word 'twunt' as a suitable substitute for 'douchebag'. It's my favourite portmanteau ever and again, passes the YA test with flying colours."
"Why did Absolute magazine fail? What must they do to succeed when they relaunch?"
"Not sure if it's even news anymore, but the maple syrup smell is coating my office at 19th and 6th."
"Just a heads-up that Citysearch's blog Fashion Geek has just published the automated response from Waverly Inn's email reservation request. Plus, a little bonus info about the Thanksgiving dinner."
"this makes me crazy. 'Real Simple' magazine is anything but. It weighs more than I do, and the ad on the back cover is always for something simple - like a Rolex or a Cadillac."
"Keeping in mind that I think 'Perez Hilton' is vile, shouldn't there be some mention of the fact that Jossip's editor just happens to be the boyfriend of Perez's main blogging rival? Just askin'. Love the video, though. This guy's a twatwaffle if there ever was one. Too bad that just draws even more people to his blog and increases his ad revenue..."
"Adrienne Shelly foundation. thought you guys (or your siblings at defamer) might be interested in this."
"Giuliani in Drag. Yes it's as creepy as you think it is."
"please do a story on this ..."
"English-language version of al-Jazeera is listed as an available channel at the Park Lane Hotel, although the cable television and internet were not available the week I stayed there in October (10/1 through 10/5)."
"I'm from England and have only recently started reading Gawker, so am intrigued by this '30 year old virgin' you have been reporting about, who writes about her dates. Because its a complete and total rip off of a blog written by an Oxford University psychology undergraduate in the summer of 2005. The Virgin Student claimed to be a young woman who had never had sex because she hadn't found the right man. She started blogging a number of her dates, including one with a lesbian. The entire university was hooked on the blog for a good couple of weeks until she finally blogged her decision to have sex and how she had been used by her chosen partner. Eventually, the author came clean and admitted the whole thing was a hoax."
"The Jolie lass is creating one clusterfuck here. Know what I mean. Y'day her bodyguards roughed up some parents at a school where she was shooting. That's not the extraordinary part. The fun part is that the school (children plus parents ecosystem) is predominantly Muslim. And one the bodyguards said: 'You bloody Indian. I will cut your...'Now, the muslim gentlemen at the receiving end of this jibe were confused. They were already circumcised, weren't they. So, like, what is this guy gonna cut? Bewilderment turned to consternation, and finally to rage when they realised the bodyguard meant no good. And then, everyone got enraged, wanting to cut the offender's whatever. Traffic was stalled for a good three hours in peak hour. The cops tried to sort the traffic mess first. That done, they arrested three bodyguards, and locked them up for the night. Story is here. Now the guards face 10 years in jail after 20 year court proceedings. The hot piece of twat faces 30 years in jail for harbouring such twatwaffles, and another 30 for generally being a douchebag. Ok just making that up."
"Oh man, I was trying to imagine how the snarky wits at Gawker might make hay with this one. Psychedelic huckster Peter Max works in Manhattan, but is raising New York's methane levels by trading his paintings for fugitive cows in Cincinnati. And starting a foundation named after a dead bull that escaped from a parade."

Wal-Mart and Goldman Sachs may have delivered the good news Tuesday, but the tech sector scored the biggest gains with its best day in four years.
The format war has been ongoing for over a year, and despite the fact there is no clear winner, Blu-ray has gone so far as issuing press releases in the past to declare itself victorious.
But it seems Sony has now realized it's not in the ring with a push-over, and winning the format war is not going to be as simple as the cocky Blu-ray camp has boasted it to be.
Going into the all-important holiday season, Toshiba has been hawking its players for as low as $200 in the U.S., while the cheapest Blu-ray players are twice as much.
Furthermore, Sony seems to be suffering from, er, Blu-balls, after Paramount Pictures announced it was going to put out to HD DVD exclusively.
