PC Gamer mag says GTAIV is PC-bound. This isn't exactly shocking news. Anyway, I'll be glad to play GTA IV on the PC.

See, this is why I think that Comic-Con shouldn't even be called Comic-Con anymore: THE OFFICE Comic-Con panel. What does THE OFFICE, which I love, don't get me wrong, have to do with comics or sci-fi? Absolutely nothing. So why is there a panel for THE OFFICE at, what for the majority of its history has been, a comics and sci-fi convention? Let's just abandon all pretense that this is a comics convention anymore. It's a just where Hollywood goes to promote thier stuff. With the exception bieng, unlike most Hollywood events, they let the public in, with most of that public dressed in goofy costumes.

Leaked British government letter - P2P will be cut by 80%. I seriously doubt that. People will move onto another method of file-sharing. In fact, I'm honestly surprised that BitTorrent hasn't been replaced as a mainstream app by now. There has to be somebody out there making something that's more secure and just as easy to use. It's laughable to think they'll eliminate file sharing. Just look at these stats from the UK: Microsoft Piracy Study: 54% of UK Kids are file-sharers. And that's just 11-16 year olds.

Sam Raimi to do EVIL DEAD 4! I know I'll be burned at the stake for saying this, but isn't Bruce Campbell getting a little too old to make one of these?

Unaired HEROES episodes to be released on DVD. Bear in mind, that due to changing the plots (and season finale) because of the writer's strike, these episodes "don't count". They're pretty much "what if? episodes that were invalidated by the writers changing direction.
