Over the last few years, slashdot has given us less and less of what matters, and more of what no-one cares about. I hit it a couple times a day now, and spend the rest of my time on reddit.

Submission + - Wild Games Studio take down YouTube review of Garry's Incident (youtube.com)
msclrhd writes: The makers of Garry's Incident (Wild Games Studio) have issued a copyright infringement claim against Total Biscuit's "WTF is... Garry's Incident" video reviewing and criticising the game, alleging this is due to the video making ad revenue. The studio gave consent to make the review and allow YouTube videos to be made — indeed, various "Let's Plays" of Garry's Incident that generate ad revenue are still available on YouTube.
Total Biscuit goes into this more on the linked video, critiquing Wild Games Studio for the copyright infringement claim and takedown of the review video.

Submission + - Steam Sells Games with Broken Activations (steampowered.com) 2
logistic writes: Yet another collision of digital delivery, DRM and multiple vendors in every transaction. Steam puts game on sale but serves a bunch of CD keys that don't work. EA and Valve point the finger at each other when you contact support. According to the forums this happens on steam occasionally but the blogosphere is a bit quiet about it. If it were MS we'd be reading about this in the NY times. After you pay for digital content how long should you have to wait to access it without compensation? If you'd stolen the game you'd be playing by now.

I predict that this will be the first android device to exceed 75% of all devices rooted and a non crippled version of the OS installed.

at that resolution the pixel sensors are closer together than the wavelengths of visible light, and each photon will be triggering multiple pixels, thus reducing the apparent resolution.
