Sure the ol'lady might be upset when the new season of "Spin Off III : Reno SND" doesn't premier till December but hey, that just means more time for Football, NASCAR, and Monster Trucks. None of that fancy script writing required.

I don't know about PC or Consoles, I just hope they have a free port to my mobile device that features ingame purchases. Especially if they have an assortment of hats!
Comment Morrowind - Play Skyrim (Score 1) 270
No, Oblivion & Skyrim both beautiful but not Morrowind. The player wakes up in Morrowind with some green pointy eared dude staring at him. Then he gets rousted up on deck. Some people are giving instructions but you're looking around and OH MY GAWD WHAT IS THAT? IT LOOKS LIKE A GIANT BUG and what is UP with these trees? And that tower with the fire in it, What PLANET AM I ON? And it just gets stranger the further you go.

Submission + - An Entirely New Genre Of Aircraft Arrives (gizmag.com) 1
fergus07 writes: Austrian research company IAT21 has presented a new type of aircraft at the Paris Air Show which has the potential to become aviation's first disruptive technology since the jet engine. Neither fixed wing nor rotor craft, the D-Dalus uses four, mechanically-linked, contra-rotating, cylindrical turbines for its propulsion, and by altering the angle of the blades, it can launch vertically, hover perfectly still, move in any direction, and thrust upwards and hence "glue down" upon landing, which it can easily do on the deck of a ship, or even a moving vehicle. It's also almost silent, has the dynamic stability to enter buildings, handles rough weather with ease, flies very long distances very quickly and can lift very heavy loads. It accordingly holds immense promise as a platform for personal flight, for military usage, search and rescue, and much more.
Submission + - Mozilla Ships Firefox 5, Meets Rapid-Release Plan (computerworld.com)
CWmike writes: "Mozilla delivered on Tuesday the final version of Firefox 5, the first edition under the new faster-release regime it kicked off earlier this year. The company also patched 10 bugs in Firefox 5, including one in the browser's handling of the WebGL 3-D rendering standard that rival Microsoft has called unsafe. Firefox 5 looks identical to its predecessor, Firefox 4, but Mozilla's made changes under the hood. Mozilla has denied copying Google Chrome's upbeat schedule but analysts have noted the similarities and pointed out the need of all browser makers to step up the pace. Because of the shorter development cycle, Mozilla called out relatively few new features in Firefox 5."

tulcod writes: The Dutch government has accidentally passed a law on net neutrality, enabling ISPs to filter internet traffic based on "ideological motives". The PvdA (labor party) accidentally voted for this exception to the Telecomwet (telecommunications law), which, on its own, does not allow such filtering. PvdA intends to repair their mistake.
Submission + - SkyDrive drops Silverlight (i-programmer.info) 3
mikejuk writes: Microsoft's SkyDrive, a web service that provides cloud storage for end user files, has just acquired a revamped user interface — and it is HTML5 based. Yes, another Microsoft website has dropped Silverlight. How can Microsoft expect independent developers to base their future on Silverlight when Microsoft itself is abandoning it like a sinking ship? Whatever happened to "eating your own dog food"? It seems that now Microsoft would rather eat dog food made elsewhere....
Submission + - Google Chrome To Have Real-Time Communications (digitizor.com)
kai_hiwatari writes: Last month, Google released an open-source project called WebRTC which aims to enables Real-Time Communications capabilities in the web browsers through simple JavaScript APIs. Now, they have taken the first step towards having WebRTC built into Chrome.
With WebRTC, developers will be able to build voice and video applications using nothing more than HTML and JavaScript. This is a powerful technology which can challenge services like Skype.
