Honest question here, I thought the expansion was still accelerating. Is it or it's really slowing down as the summary says?

Pretty sure it does. That is probably why there's a lot of big brand missing (Ferrari, Lambo, ...) in every edition of Gran Turismo. Maybe they didn't want to pay the high fee. That or exclusivity was signed with another game.

How many gamers gained interest in weapons by playing video games? (I did) Why isn't it the other way around, gun manufacturers paying the game developers a fee to promote their gun?

arcticstoat writes "PC gamers who are sick of being constantly distracted by whirring fans could now have a helping hand from a new wireless graphics card. Galaxy sub-brand KFA2 has announced a graphics card with no display outputs. Instead, the KFA2 GTX 460 WHDI uses a wireless link to send the display output from your PC to your screen, whether that's a conventional monitor or the HD TV in your lounge. You just need to attach the bundled receiver to the back of your chosen screen and you're done. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, you could place your PC at the other end of the room, letting you crank up those fans without having to listen to the whirring next to you."

Opera Supports Google Decision To Drop H.264 336

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday January 12, 2011 @09:21AM from the rally-behind-the-big-dog dept.

An anonymous reader follows up to yesterday's Google announcement that they would drop H.264 support from Chrome. "Thomas Ford, Senior Communications Manager, Opera, told Muktware, 'Actually, Opera has never supported H.264. We have always chosen to support open formats like Ogg Theora and WebM. In fact, Opera was the first company to propose the tag, and when we did, we did it with Ogg. Simply put, we welcome Google's decision to rely on open codecs for HTML5 video.'"
