But not many games available yet. Most of my steam games are from humble indie bundles, hence have linux versions. Only a few of those games have made their linux versions available through steam.
BTW-- steam runs well on my Kubuntu 12.10 x8-86_64. I have a GTX 650 TI

Vorbis is an excellent audio codec. VP8 isn't as good as h.264, but it does the job for low res vids I use xVid for alot of my higher RES vids. H.264 also has tons of hardware support, VP8 could possibly match h.264 with that kinda support.

AFAIK, you will still be able to use credit cards to buy facebook credits, and use the credits to buy virtual currency. I don't think this will affect users.

Submission + - Cancer Is Man-Made? (manchester.ac.uk)
Jamon writes: "According to a study from Manchester's KNH Centre, cancer may be a man-made disease. While I don't entirely understand histology or medicine, it strikes me as odd that the lack of any historical records is evidence for cancer being man-made."
Submission + - Why the web mustn't become the new TV (shadowlocked.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The author argues that Rupert Murdoch's bid to own complete control of BSkyB is only part of an ongoing process to make the internet a totally 'linear' experience. The increase in the use of paginated content and the proliferation of video over transcribed interviews are, the author argues, part of a tidal shift from a browsable to a linear internet experience that will move the user's experience of media from genuine choice to a series of locked-down 'information rides', in order to re-secure advertising exposure. The author also writes: "Current worries among publishing houses that magazines and newspapers will succumb to the digital written word on the internet are perhaps analogous to Victorian fears about mechanical horses taking over from real horses in the drawing of carriages. The point is being missed, the wrong fear being indulged."
