Not only can I -- thanks to Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl -- say anything I want by following it up with the "not a factual statement" disclaimer...
I can now slander companies AND get a cushy advertisement by NPR by saying "the tools of theater are not the same as the tools of journalism." Thanks, Mike Daisey!
No, I didn't put links. Google the names, lazy-folk!
Call me crazy, but are we really going to assume that someone in-charge of a MOBILE GAME COMPANY is going to tell the absolute truth when it comes to his competition?
I have to agree with some of the posts above; mobile gaming can keep their time-sinks, I'll stick with my MMOs!...Er..

Dammit! I knew I missed something in the Teeny Tiny Legal Text! (tm)
Hasn't Mythbusters already covered this? Hasn't "common sense" already covered this? And what in the world is an "Advanced Motorist?"
Stop the planet, I want to disembark, thanks!
people simply don't care anymore
educate and bring them to our side of the fray.
Oh, god. If you only knew... I'm a teacher, by trade. I do this, daily, but I consistently feel like I'm a parent watching a child stick a fork into a wall outlet for the fifteenth time. ESPECIALLY on subjects pertaining to security while online.
