Lately, I've been preoccupied with other stuff and even the somewhat minimal effort of throwing up a bunch of links with commentary has taken a backseat for me.
Kicking off with an amusing headline...
Man beaten when teens mistakenly think screams during sex were calls for help. That's pretty priceless.

Firefox 3.5 downloaded 5 million times in first 24 hours. I'm amazed their servers didn't crash under that much traffic.
Windows 7 RTM: July 13th confirmed. That's pretty far ahead of the October retail release. So I imagine that copies will be floating around the net soon enough.
Tech Crooks
No comment for these two, just thought they were worth sharing.
NY thieves want iPhones, victims fight back
Gamer steals from virtual world to pay real debts
Speaking Of Crooks...

Kristen Bell doesn't think a VERONICA MARS movie will ever happen. Well, no shit!

Alice in Chains reunion "Gives Way" to album, tour. Their new single actually sounds like Alice In Chains, which is a bit surprising since their original lead singer died.

There's been a lack of game-related stories on here lately. Here are a few from the last few days. In the interest of saving myself (and you) some time, they're presented without comment.
Boston mayor who forced GTA ads from public transit now appears on buses pushing ESRB
If a pirated song = $80k, what is the value of a pirated game?
New SPLINTER CELL to run roughly 12 hours
No room for mediocrity this holiday season, Eidos says
Tecmo Koei asks sony to "please cut [PS3] price"
Breaking: Valve still hates the PS3!
Microsoft will 'enhance' gamers' experiences with dashboard ads
LEFT 4 DEAD 2 boycott didn't change Valve's plans
Advocacy FAIL: L4D2 pre-order sales double of original, says Valve
ALPHA PROTOCOL to hit in early October
