While not confirmed anywhere yet (I don't believe) the ability to block used games on the upcoming consoles at the publishers whim has been rumored for a while now.

Hopefully they add more functionality to apps, make the store useable on PCs, etc, etc. And of course there is that Start menu thingy...

Slashdot mods, come on, where are they. I could also use some Jersey Shore, Teen Mom or Fix This Kitchen related posts.
I only wish DICE would've bought /. sooner to give us great content like this.

Given the supernova suns DICE implemented in Battlefield 3 plus J.J. working on the next Star Wars movie, the DICE Star Wars game is going to require sunglasses to play. If you want to save your eyesight, that is.

Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Justified, Mad Men and Homeland are a few of the terrible shows I've watched in the past decade. Thank goodness for Amazon coming "rescue" us from this tripe!

Actually they don't, because nothing has been formally announced or proven beyond a doubt yet about what Microsoft's next device requires. If anything we can thank him for showing Microsoft and other gaming companies just how much people loathe always online.

GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode 267
Hot on the heels of the Gtk+ 3.8 release comes GNOME 3.8. There are a few general UI improvements, but the highlight for many is the new Classic mode that replaces fallback. Instead of using code based on the old GNOME panel, Classic emulates the feel of GNOME 2 through Shell extensions (just like Linux Mint's Cinnamon interface). From the release notes: "Classic mode is a new feature for those people who prefer a more traditional desktop experience. Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in combination with other GNOME extensions."

BB is great, but I found S5 - Part 1 pretty weak in spots. It seemed like the writers were trying to hard to be good instead of just being good and the end result was characters doing things just to do them. Mike's storyline seemed pretty forced at the end, for example. I hope Part 2 gets BB back to form.

Season 3 is great and the best season IMO, expect a big decline in 4 and 5. Bad choices by the showrunner really killed the show for me and alot of people I know who watched it. The S3 finale will leave you wondering how they could've made such a bad decision.
