    http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/22/12344611-iran-trade-sanctions-get-personal-in-apple-stores?lite Much better article detailing the story. Yes the iPad was destined for Iran. Yes this is illegal w/ clerks facing a $250,000 fine for selling, and corporations facing $1,000,000 in...

    Nintendo Cuts $80 From 3DS Price in Hopes to Boost Sales

    Maybe the big N shouldn't have "pulled a Sega" and rushed a system out of the door with no games (*cough*Saturn*cough*).

    alhanelemi really dont care what they do as long as they push the graphics up considerably so we dont get shitty ports on the PC, my ps3 is still dead and hopefully the price tag will go down and i can get a new one cheapWho knows? Maybe we'll be able to see the graphics of the PC in 2010 on a...

    Nintendo Confirms Zelda HD for Wii U

    "However, at the time, Nintendo was very clear on the fact that the titles being shown represented real Wii U games." Actually that is wrong, they said multiple times that "these are only technical demos and not real games", Reggie even made a point to say it once at the beginning of his...

    Bethesda Websites, EVE Online MMOG Hacked Too

    neiroatopelccIt's not like a security hole is the same as granting those hacker kids permission to break in. There'll always be a way in if you look hard enough. They aren't exploiting security holes. They're brute forcing it, that is what a DDoS and the other attacks are. It doesn't matter how...

    Nintendo Shares Fall 5-Yr Low After Wii U Revealed

    This article seems extremely pessimistic. People expecting something extremely revolutionary in graphics terms, it's gonna be a while yet. Even the latest Unreal Engine tech demo wasn't what you would call an entirely next gen engine. Epic admitted that, they said it was more like Unreal Engine...

    Sony NGP to be ''Less Investment Heavy''

    I see a launch price at least the same as the original ($300), but if it is more than $350 I'll probably extend my wait. Honestly, the deciding factor for me nowadays is what games will be available at launch. If they pull a 3DS and have nothing but shovelware (especially at their launch since...

    U.S. Could Send Military to Deal With Hackers

    memadmaxBunch of BS.This is just another attack on open ended free speech of the internet(aka your Freedom).Here's why:1. The military is completely immune to anything that goes on in the internet(even shutdowns). They use entirely different networking protocols, languages, security algorithms...

    Japan Refuses to Approve PSN Restoration

    http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-05/playstation-network-hackers-used-amazons-cloud-services-launch-their-attack-report-says So Sony has to say it can protect itself from a brute force attack from a dedicated processing farm that has already been criticized several times by folks...

    Sony: Hackers Exploited Known Vulnerability

    eddieroolzI wonder if this was the case of technicians on the lower levels knowing about a hole, but management refusing to acknowledge it and order a repair. As we all know this happens a lot in corporatinos and governments. I agree with this 100%. Working for several companies I have seen...

    Nintendo: 3DS Sales Weaker Than Expected

    Considering that this has been one of the weakest launch lineups I've ever seen (no big name titles aside from SFIV) I'm not really surprised. Most of the time when I see any media of people playing 3DS games its either the built in camera/AR game or SFIV. All the hype has been around Kid...

    Man Accused of Child Porn After Guy Leeches WiFi

    Yet another reason why I don't care if my house looks like Tron, wireless will never be as secure, fast, or stable as a hardline. As long as your signal is leaving the walls of your home through the air it CAN be tapped into and hacked. I work for an ISP and laugh whenever someone gets their net...

    Court to Debt Collectors: Stay Off Facebook

    Being a former debt collector I can say a few things here: Blatant disregard of the FDCPA is a fineable offense that ends up with not only the company collecting able to be sued, but the individual collectors. If you are: -Receiving calls outside of the hours of 8AM-9PM (and that's YOUR local...

    It will also contain a sample of Chuck Norris' DNA and bake small, cardboard flavored pastries and cakes using a 70 watt light bulb.
