The obvious quote is the scene from Hal Hartley's "Trust", where Ed's head gets put in the vice after an argument about (unnamed IT company) deliberately using faulty parts. ... only I can't remember the exact line, and I'm firewalled and can't find a script anywhere. :\ FML

PC/Amiga classic 'Cannon Fodder' was also recently ripped off (certainly from a look and feel perspective, and all reviews mention the likeness) as an iphone/itouch game Warpack Grunts - with no credit to the original coders on their website. Considering the original devs have their own mobile phone development company I doubt they would have allowed this, and I hope they have sicced their lawyers onto them. I doubt Apple look too closely for prior art and are more interested in counting the filthy lucre their Jesus phone is piling up at their feet.

Their 'viral' marketing campaign includes vandalism -- paste-ups or posters all over Melbourne. They look shit, it's obviously derivative, they're begging for some Streisand action, why not deliver them some. Leave the graf and posters to people with talent

... or perhaps that's what they want

Comment What a leet address (Score -1) 380

TFA: Honeypot Road in Hackham? Locations don't get any more leet than that. (0_o) They probably used Facebook because they wanted friends to help them unfuck the situation, and not get sprung by the authorities / parents. Guilt and shame are interesting motivators, and it's against the law to enter drains - but they're not caged off for logistic and safety reasons. The CC encourage competent exploration of the urban environment, not this kind of shit. It doesn't look like it rained in Adelaide on Sunday night, but if they were panicking, this could have been worse. The parents should sue ... Eastman and Laird ;)
