Back with links. First one is a cool idea...
Turn a bookshelf into a secret passage. I've often thought how much I want to do this. Someday I might!
Tech
Goodbye, CompuServe! (We thought you already died). I seriously didn't know CompuServe was still around either.
British spy chief's cover blown on Facebook. Good lord. Don't they vet these people and their families before putting them in charge of sensitive branches?
Soapbox Issue Thingy
Did OpenBitTorrent just become The Pirate Bay 2.0? De-centralized torrents were supposed to be the wave of the future.
Guest Op-Ed: Why I'm a Third-World File-Sharer. A worthwhile read with some good points.
No Deal! Jammie Thomas to appeal $1.92 million fine. That fine is pure extortion. There's no realistic way a person with an average income could pay that anyway.
Entertainment
Does WATCHMEN's leak matter? Since I haven't seen the movie yet, I was tempted to download both leaks. The theatrical cut and director's cut. Still, I plan on waiting for the Blu-Ray, which will be a rare blind buy for me. Honestly, I want the full HD experience the first time seeing this movie since I skipped out on the theater experience.
LOL: Man arrested for running around naked in a casino claims he's a Terminator. Hey, you never know! In the movies nobody believes stuff like that when it happens, and then it turns out to be true and they're screwed!
T.J. HOOKER, the movie? They better find a way to include Shatner. (Still, I have zero interest in this movie.)
Video Games
Wish I had a record player. Why? Because there's a promo record for BIOSHOCK 2. What's on the BioShock 2 record? Find out by clicking the link. (I like the soundtrack from the first game, so I hope the sequel's soundtrack is as full of win.)
Bleszinski sees RPGs as key to the shooter's future. I don't see many RPG elements in GEARS OF WAR, but the man seems to know what he's doing, so I'll take his word for it.
Valve: People always complain. That's for sure. Personally, given their track record, Valve hasn't given me anything to complain about.
DONKEY KONG Easter Egg discovered 26 years later. It's just for the Atari version. Personally, I'm an arcade purist, and that's the best version of DK. (Even as a little kid, back in the 80s, I thought that the arcade versions of games made the Atari look like crap.)
