I was really suprised when I learned how blunt the security options in Android were.
I'm used to COMODO IS asking me every time an application attempts to use TCP/UDP, start another process, look at a DLL or stuff like that.
All you get on Android is 'DO YOU WANT APPLICATION TO INTERNET? Y/N' which is totally insufficient.

Yay!
the search giant is working on ways to push relevant info to users before they have even asked for it... Foursquare-style location 'check-ins' are also apparently on the way next year

Submission + - Benchmark Reviews Caught Red Handed Over 'Review' (podgamer.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Benchmark Reviews were thoroughly caught out recently when it turned out that a 'review' for a $1300 office chair was a near bare-faced reproduction of a number of press releases provided by the manufacturer. Forum goers investigated the strange wording of the review and laid their findings bare. When an investigative journalist e-mailed Benchmark Reviews asking for citations of studies mentioned in the review, what was their response? Dig up the personal details of the journalist, including address and phone number, and post them publicly online in a "Hall of Shame".

"What? You mean making videogames involves numbers? WHAT THE FUuuuuuuuuu..."
Hilarious, and it happens every time.
I feel sorry for the poor souls who'll have gone through four years of expensive 'education' to find that they really ought to have spent their time creating a decent series of demo games and applications instead. Oh well.

You didn't think that the inclusion of NG Resonance as a sinister, omnipresent construct created by the WTO for the purposes of intelligence gathering was genius?

The problems in the PC version of Dead Space are well-known: delayed movement, delayed aiming, partially rebindable keys (you can't use the cursor keys to walk because they're permanently bound to the RIG menu), etc.
