It's damned boring is what it is. Even Spider-Man on MAME holds more interesting things to do, even if it's just to laugh at chubby superheroes.

Comment Why oh Why do we need more from Google? (Score 1) 283
I don't use Google for anything other than its search engine.
- Google Chrome to me is overhyped, the minimal GUI is irritating and it has a poor amount of add-ons.
- Gmail is nice but I've subscribed to countless sites (and still do) with my @msn and it gets the job done (it receives e-mail, big surprise there), the only time I use Gmail is at work, because the educational institution I work at uses it.
- Google Docs are of no use to me.
- Blogger I do like.
To me "best days" is irrelevant, in my case the usefulness is still there and will be there. It doesn't have to impress anyone or be ahead of anyone else.

There's no real reason, the storyline is borderline nonexistent, it's pathetic to try and pass this game off as decent. Horribly mundane, I would understand if it were a multiplayer-experience only but it's not, it's marketed also towards single-playing gamers and I'm one of those.
To me it's a shame this crap gets made and we still haven't seen Bionic Commando's sequel.

The bashing here is pretty much towards anything overrated and/or underdeveloped, I find it pretty evenly-spread.
The only thing that isn't bashed as much, are Linux-type OSs, yet they do inherit a lot of jokes, not from the faults, but the abstract anatomy of their users.

I remember exporting individual frames of animated GIFs, correct/add something to, or just reverse it, put it back together and use it on another crappy Geocities website.
Oh, and the "Awards"! Apparently clicking links through images was a difficult task back then. I gotta admit, I have a little corner in my heart for the god damned MIDI files.

With the paranoia that abounds in this place regarding privacy, you instantly think about taking all your info off FB servers for good when you read "Reclaim your data".
This is mostly about privacy options and reporting duplicate photos.

Microsoft announced the arrival of the release candidate version of Internet Explorer 9 (meaning it has the potential to be the final product), which had been in beta mode for the past few months. While the release candidate has several new features, the most prominent will be tracking protection. Mozilla has also included this feature, affording greater privacy to users.

Over the last few months, Google has received more than 100 copyright infringement warnings from MPAA-affiliated movies studios: most are directed at users of Google's public Wi-Fi service but others are meant for Google employees. The MPAA is thus warning the search giant that it might get disconnected from the Internet.

Submission + - Sony Loses Bid To Pull Twitter, YouTube User Info
RedEaredSlider writes: A Federal court in California has denied Sony's motion to pull the personal information of Twitter and YouTube users who might have downloaded code that allows PlayStations to run with alternative operating systems.
The company had filed a motion for discovery, asking for the personal information of users of Twitter and YouTube who might have a connection with George Hotz, who had published a piece of code on his Web site that allowed a PlayStation 3 to run other operating systems as well as pirated games. Sony was, in essence, asking for the contact information of people who had commented on the video Hotz posted showing how he used the code, as well as people he may have corresponded with via Twitter.
The judge in the case, Susan Illston, denied the motion. Hotz is still under a restraining order that forbids him from offering any methods or software that allow people to modify their Sony PlayStations. Nor is he allowed to provide links to sites that offer such methods or software. He is also ordered to turn over his computers to Sony.
