I'm suprised this hasn't been in the news already, I read about China and Russia also being interested in harvesting the moon for helium 3 around five years ago. Now would be the right time to go ahead and begin implementing the plan. Perhaps it would be in human kinds best interest for NASA to join with China and Russia and other countries on the mission.

Would switching ios to open source have caught this bug earlier? This bug is a huge one, since it is a critical system which is required to be 100% reliable with consequences affecting users on important things such as aeroplane trips. In my case I was lucky enough that my parents also set an alarm on their reliable alarm clock, I was wondering why mine didnt go off, but then again I remembered this bug occuring during day light savings time which was now meant to be fixed(i guess only for daylight savings not new years-lol). Obviously their TDD was lacking in this area. Being that Apple only makes money off their hardware, at least thats what they tell us. What is the crime in giving their platform to the community so that their hardware will feature the most reliable software due to communities involvement and bug fixing? I'm not very familiar with how much of android is actually open source but i suspect apple could be benefiting from a similar strategy.

Japanese Game Developers Go West 84

donniebaseball23 writes "More and more Japanese game studios and publishers are looking toward the West. But as the industry becomes more global, is this really such a bad thing? From the article: 'Gameplay is an art that transcends borders, and it simply makes good business sense to keep your eyes open for opportunities no matter where they present themselves, as Zenimax, EA and THQ clearly have. Far from ruining the Japanese gaming industry, it may in fact save some of the best Japanese developers from considering retirement or a career change. They'll be able to make games on their own terms with their own original IP, and shouldn't it ultimately be about these creative types being able to realize their visions?""
