    Florida Introduces "Stop Social Media Censorship Act"

    The question I have re: social media websites being "public spaces" - how does this jive with targeted advertising? Maybe there aren't obvious walls blocking the public from using these services, but they're paying in more inconspicuous ways. Seems that social media websites use the "public...

    911 Calls Raise Concerns Over Amazon Working Conditions

    I want to believe this is sarcasm, but it seems to go well with the general "back in my day" mood of this thread:p.

    Rogue One Writer Lambastes EA for "Catastrophically Mismanaging" the Star Wars License

    All that needs to be said. This is simply a case of Disney not doing their homework. EA is bottom of the barrel when it comes to game development at this point. I've played various sports titles from EA over the past few years, and to say that some of these games are past the beta stage would be...

    The Witcher III Cost $81M

    So what exactly happened to CreepyUncleGoogle? I actually miss the guy. Very idiosyncratic, the way he used to rile people up.

    MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Launches in September 2019

    What, MW4: Mercs didn't exist? Still waiting on that impending storm that was supposed to arrive at the end of the Mercs campaigns. I loved playing that game so much. I was still hoping for a sequel for a few years. Sucks that it has to be PGI. This will probably get passed over like any other...

    The Chinese Social Credit Score System Has Already Been Implemented

    Nowhere in that study indicates that the frogs are turning "gay". Going sterile and changing sexes? Sure. I don't see how that abounds to a leap of faith about the US government turning the frogs gay. Of course, that was all really just a dog whistle about the purported "homosexual agenda"...

    Star Citizen Has Made Over $200,000,000

    That's some level of hyperbole you got going on there. I'm sorry, but if the whole idea was to go against this idea that SC has formed some sort of a cult, this is pretty much not the way to go about disproving that accusation. Hate Star Citizen or DIE? Talk about dramatic histrionics. :rolleyes:

    Star Citizen is Free to Try for a Week Starting November 23

    I'd say it's entirely understandable, considering the amount of money that was pulled in, the ridiculous scope creep, QA issues, missed deadlines, and Chris Roberts's own incompetence in the past. That's generally not a good mix for a crowdfunded game. I'm more inclined towards the cynical...

    Star Citizen is Free to Try for a Week Starting November 23

    It does say something about a game that most of the 1st page in this thread was dedicated to posts "pre-empting the haters".

    Billionaire LA Times Owner Calls Social Media the 'Cancer' of Our Times

    They're all birds of a feather, but admittedly some of them have a bit more gloss on their feathers than others. Fox is low rung, and to consider what Fox does as journalism is laughable. Why should any credibility be given to an outlet whose previous ringleader was unabashed when it came to do...

    Billionaire LA Times Owner Calls Social Media the 'Cancer' of Our Times

    What's missing is that media outlets, especially print media, missed out heavily on the ad facing gravy train that Facebook and others currently conduct. Beyond that, social media simply amplifies what current media reports. Social media could be blamed for creating little thought bubbles that...

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    Does CA still update this game? It was a complete mess even a year or so after release. The worst TW game I have played to date. I'd be more outraged if they were retconning female generals into the game on the low, and not fixing the game at the same time.

    Disney CEO Apologizes for "Star Wars": "You Can Expect Some Slowdown"

    I have to say, I actually liked Revenge of the Sith a lot. I watched it before I watched the TPM and CW, mainly because I did my best to avoid watching any of the prequels due to their perception. I did go back and watch the other two, and I can understand why they were lambasted, and I can...

    Equifax Slapped With 500k Fine

    Pathetic. These companies need to be financially nuked, honestly.

    OnePlus Is Getting Rid of the Headphone Jack

    Shame. Had a 1+1 and a 1+3. Great phones. Funny how OP was making fun of jack-less phones 6 months ago, and now they're looking every bit the jack-ass. I find myself using headphones constantly. Not a fan at all of Bluetooth sets, and even less so of heavily inconsistent dongles. They still...
