    'Titanfall' to Be Microsoft-Exclusive

    Newsflash: EA's main problem causing them to lose money isn't because of them not signing exclusivity deals, it's because they force developers to push out unfinished games, require users to pay another $100 for the rest of the content, add on-line DRM out the whazoo, they make titles with...

    NSA Leaks 2013 - A Timeline of NSA Revelations

    The one thing that I find really offensive is that the NSA would go so far to crack private keys for major SSL certificates and then spoof a copy of the site as their own just to get data on you. What if a disgruntled NSA contractor decides to leave and on his last day spoofs the paypal site...

    Activision Blizzard Independent of Vivendi in $8.2B Buyout

    Or you could just be like Cloud Imperium Games, and just crowd fund all your expenses out, and the developers can continue to be their own boss.

    IE 11 Heading to Windows 7 Too, Says MSFT

    wow, MS actually adding in WebGL to IE?? I'm surprised. I remember their program director basically saying they were not adding WebGL since you could use DX extensions (which sucked hard). Basically they didn't want people going open source over DirectX, only problem is they never developed...

    VP Joe Biden Meeting with Gun and Games Industry Concludes, No Official Statemen

    I would imagine there's a possibility that thousands of gun owners would march if Obama tried to take their guns. If you're a cop making $40k, is it really worth it to break up gun wielding protesters? Also, I don't think he has the balls to take it to the next level.

    U.S. Brands China as Largest Cyberspace Threat

    I agree with the premise from above...the Chinese are simply going after the low hanging fruit, the insecurely designed systems, but I really doubt they can get into well protected systems. At my company we have all our confidential IP data servers sitting behind a separate internal firewall...

    Only program I've used out of that list is GIMP. That Blender 3D Modeler looks cool. Is there any kind of open source application equivalent to After Effects?
