Military Personnel Weigh In On Being Taliban In Medal of Honor 171

Posted by Soulskill on Friday August 20, 2010 @05:29PM from the identity-conflict dept.

SSDNINJA writes "This is a feature from gamrFeed that interviews nine US service members about playing as the Taliban in the upcoming Medal of Honor. One soldier states that games like MoH and Call of Duty are 'profiteering from war.' Another says, 'Honestly, I don't really see what the whole fuss is about. It's a game, and just like in Call of Duty, you don't really care about what side you're taking, just as long as you win. I don't think anyone cares if you're part of the Rangers or Spetznaz, as long as you win.' An excellent and interesting read."

kkleiner writes "A new technique developed at King's College London uses a fifteen minute MRI scan to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The scan is used to analyze the structure of grey matter in the brain, and tests have shown that it can identify individuals already diagnosed with autism with 90% accuracy. The research could change the way that autism is diagnosed – including screening children for the disorder at a young age."

Bundling practices are only illegal if done by corporation in a dominant position on the market of the tying good (OS here) to increase its market shares on the tied good market (media players). Which is the case for Microsoft, and not Apple who's the underdog. Basicaly you're much more free of your commercial practices if you're in a competitive market or not in a dominant position.
