Feh. Making a card with a pristine look that can be easily marred is the wrong approach. They should have made a card with an attractive living finish that is designed to change with use, resulting in each customer ending up with their own uniquely personal card they can proudly show off. It could become a new Apple fad. People would look up tips on how to get the card to change in ways they want. There would be sites where people post pictures of their card. Some people would even get multiple cards to try for different looks...

Not exactly. They managed to identify non-humans fighting in a ring. They just didn't consider that would include robots.

For maximum visual effect and entertainment value, the drones in the trial of these new weapons should contain large pockets filled with corn kernels.

the displays for violent movies, action figures that fight or shoot, and, oh, you may as well throw guns in there. I mean, it's rather insensitive to promote guns right now, don't you think?

The culprits were soon pretty obvious. The Hollywood Reporter found that the Chinese company Tencent is co-financing the sequel. Co-producing the film along with Paramount Pictures is Skydance, which is partially owned by Tencent.

The film is being partially financed and produced by a Chinese company. Why is it surprising that Chinese sensibilities are being taken into account?

I'm already looking forward to logging in one day and receiving the message, "Your face has expired and must be changed."

Sorry, but why do Americans believe American Corporations should be able to operate in a country and not pay taxes in that country?

But...but that's what they do in the US.

And if the lizards ever become a problem, just get some Chinese needle snakes and release them in the area.

Wait... Am I the only one here wearing a top hat and a monocle?!

No, of course not. But what about a company whose manufacturing process sends pollutants into the environment? That seems more comparable to a tech company whose platform injects chaos and disruption into society as part of its operation.

The problem I've found with Impossible Burgers is that they are quite good and tasty--unless you overcook them. Unfortunately, a lot of restaurants seem to enthusiastically char them to death and beyond...

I'm not really sure what you have a problem with here. Epic is selling something that doesn't affect game play, for people to buy, if they want. I don't see how that implies Epic is happy that children bully each other. If I sell sporting goods and some people who buy baseball bats use them to beat people are you going to accuse me of being happy that people beat others with bats?

It makes sense to me. What percentage of people either have poor judgement or aren't nearly as funny as they think they are? How many employees does Microsoft have? Doing the math seems to give a pretty good chance of someone doing something stupid that makes Microsoft look bad if left free to perform publicly visible pranks.

So, this law would basically target people driving alone? Because otherwise the obvious defense is to say a passenger was the one using the device.

I'm confused. Is Disney going to 'close the vault' and stop selling physical media entirely? Or are they going to sell physical media of all their products all the time, since they're available for streaming anyway?
