Comment Hiring remote workers for cheap - get burned (Score 1) 34

When an organization tries to hire remote workers in an effort "to attract top talent" that is euphemism for we want workers for cheap and do not want to pay the going rate for them. There are good reasons to have people come to the office to work. Security being among the top.

Get ViMu for your device. http://www.vimuplayer.com/ I don't know if it works with Netgear NeoTV Max, but I use on a Logitech Revue and it works great. Plex used way to much resources. ViMu uses almost no resources on your PC other than to read your media, no resource intensive transcoding - all the work is done on the device's (in my case the Logitech Revue) native hardware. It is very simple to setup and works great. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles of Plex, but it supports different sound tracks and subtitles very well.

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?""
