I found this article fascinating, I always wondered about the details of it. Knowing Gabe Newell he'll probably respond to this article. Very funny the kid thought Valve was actually gonna hire him. I wonder how harsh our courts would of been on him if he had got on that plane. Those damn sneaky Germans, gotta watch them! :D

Interesting this article comes hot on the heels of the latest big game leak of Crysis 2.

Interesting story. And also a sad indictment on the future where cheapskating on the security is going to cost dearly.

Friction - in that is what stops things being easy is actually a good thing is sadly being thrown away to make everything easy easy easy. Smartphone mayhem inside a year. But thing how much more destructive it will be when we have added NF payment to our phones to replace cash.
