H.R. Giger Returns To the Alien Franchise 144

Posted by timothy from the how-could-this-not-give-nightmares dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Great news for Alien franchise purists, as conceptual artist H.R. Giger has been confirmed as a contributor to the prequel that Ridley Scott is set to begin shooting in February. The originator of the 'xenomorph' design, Giger was left out of James Cameron's Aliens (1986), since Cameron only needed a new 'Alien queen' design, and had come up with that himself. This article features the Swiss TV broadcast where Giger's wife broke the news, and a full gallery of Giger's conceptual work for Alien."

Submission + - U.S Government Seizes Torrent Search Engine Domain (torrentfreak.com)

Submitted by Voulnet
Voulnet writes: This morning, visitors to the Torrent-Finder.com site are greeted with an ominous graphic which indicates that ICE have seized the site’s domain.
“My domain has been seized without any previous complaint or notice from any court!” the exasperated owner of Torrent-Finder told TorrentFreak this morning.

“I firstly had DNS downtime. While I was contacting GoDaddy I noticed the DNS had changed. Godaddy had no idea what was going on and until now they do not understand the situation and they say it was totally from ICANN,” he explained.

Aside from the fact that domains are being seized seemingly at will, there is a very serious problem with the action against Torrent-Finder. Not only does the site not host or even link to any torrents whatsoever, it actually only returns searches through embedded iframes which display other sites that are not under the control of the Torrent-Finder owner.

Yes, they do.

I was contacted by Google solely through my website (which I hadn't updated in about 3 years). Still, they'd found it, using a pretty funky search, and then they emailed me asking if I would like to be interviewed.

As a further indictment of HR drones :-), I aced the technical interviews (including several by phone and about 4 or 5 back-to-back technical interviews onsite), but then they mysteriously "had no projects that matched my skill set" once everything got to HR.
