Square Enix To Buy Eidos, Midway Files For Bankruptcy 88
arcticstoat writes to tell us that Square Enix has been revealed as the potential buyer to Eidos, developer of the Tomb Raider franchise. Eidos had been shedding workers and studios in an attempt for financial stability. This comes alongside news that Midway Games is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to stave off creditors while they sort out what's left of their resources. World of Goo publisher Brighter Minds Media also filed for bankruptcy last month. Free Radical, a UK studio recently put in a similar position was snapped up by Crytek, and we discussed news of Sega's financial turmoil as well. It seems that claims from late last year suggesting the games industry may be "recession proof" are quickly being proven wrong, though Kotaku suggests that most of the blame falls on the developers.

blackbearnh writes: "China has become the production workhorse of the consumer electronics industry. Almost anything you pick up at a Best Buy first breathed life across the Pacific Ocean. But what is it like to shepherd a product through the design and production process? Andrew "bunnie" Huang has done just that with the Chumby, a new internet appliance. In an interview with O'Reilly Radar, he talks about the logistical and moral issues involved with manufacturing in China, as well as his take on the consumer's right to hack the hardware they purchase."

I'm well aware of Our History. You went back to SHS (State of Slovenes, Croatians and Serbs). Afterwards Kingdom Yugoslavia.
So there is WW II in between, after which Yugoslavia (SFRJ Socialistic Federative Republic Yugoslavia) as such formed and lasted until 1991. Serbia then retained the title Yugoslavia for many years, and slowly desintegrated in those smaller united countries. Remember the war in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro... Top of the Iceberg is this year's Liberation of the Republic of Kosovo, Which is just a bunch of Albanians which settled on Serbian grounds over last decades.
Back on topic... The research they where doing is not accurate enough in the Balcan part of the map. People only in ex YU are so diverse, so there cannot be single Gene poll.
