Newsweek Easter Egg Reports Zombie Invasion 93

Posted by kdawson on Monday June 14, 2010 @10:56PM from the it-takes-braaains dept.

danielkennedy74 writes "Newsweek.com becomes the latest in a long list of sites that will reveal an Easter egg if you enter the Konami code correctly (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter). This is a cheat code that appeared in many of Konami's video games, starting around 1986 — my favorite places to use it were Contra and Life Force, 30 lives FTW. The Easter egg was probably included by a developer unbeknownst to the Newsweek powers that be. It's reminiscent of an incident that happened at ESPN last year, involving unicorns."

Always remember that all this fascist measures is for our own good. Politicians are intelligent people that know better than us and, if you disagree, you are probably a criminal.

This article and your comment are total bullshit! Just the Motorola Droid is far superior to any iPhone you can buy right now, you don't have to wait for the next Android to get something that totally humilliates any iPhone.

It's unfortunate but Slashdot is infected with either Apple fanboys that cannot see beyond their noses or Apple employees gaining their salary spreading wide bullshit news... sad.

Healthcare in Spain is universal and free, so I guarantee you this guy paid NOTHING and the doctors were happy to do the work for the chanllenge as part of their daily job. There are many things I don't like in Spain but healthcare is pretty good.

Submission + - Microsoft to use ARM-based servers, hints ad (eetimes.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday April 20, 2010 @09:27AM

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft is looking for senior software development engineer to help with its Bing data centers, potentially running them on ARM hardware, according to this EE Times article. Whoever gets the job "can own the decision on the hardware that we use," the job description said, and added that power management is a key aspect of the job. And ARM is explicitly mentioned, as are solid-state disk drives as an area of experimentation in the quest to reduce power but Intel does not get a mention. Microsoft was reportedly experimenting with the Intel Atom microprocessor in February 2009 with a view to creating a green low-power data center. One issue discussed then was the Atom microprocessor lacked performance compared with other Intel processors and that therefore any power saving might be negated by the need for more processors to carry a given computational load. Looks like Intel may have missed out.

Sure sure the reason is to improve performance in the applications run on Windows; from now on you will ONLY develop applications with Visual Studio and any application run on Windows will need approval.
