About Scott Cleland
Countdown to 50% share: Google approaching antitrust "dominant" status -- Part ISubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2007-01-22 19:12An interesting and relevant antitrust milestone is coming for Google -- maybe as soon as this year -- Google is poised to pass the significant 50% market share "dominant" threshold in antitrust.
This is relevant because when Google exceeds 50% market share, the antitrust "rule of thumb" is that Google will be considered by antitrust authorities to be a "dominant" company. eBay is not Neutral: eBay using Paypal to fight off Google's CheckoutSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2007-01-22 15:54In my ongoing "hypocrisy watch" service, eBay is back in the news again not being neutral at the same time they are pleading to Congress to pass a law forcing their broadband competitors to be neutral. The recent Forbes article "Why so Worried?" reminds everyone about how in July eBay banned the use of Google's Checkout, a competitor to eBay's PayPal.
I blogged on this topic twice before, in July I defended eBay's right to competitively differentiate and be hypocritical, and in Decmber I blogged on how Google was not abiding by neutrality principles with it's Checkout competitive tactics. Swanson's WSJ editorial nails it on NN: "Its the capacity stupid!"Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2007-01-22 10:41Bret Swanson in his WSJ editorial over the weekend "The Coming Exaflood" provides a real service to the net neutrality debate -- he forces the discussion to focus more on how we must deal with the coming explosion of demand for capacity on the Internet.
Net neutrality is a classic liberal big government idea that is all about trying to carve up the pie of today to be more fair, while assuming that somebody else will always make more pie for them to carve up.
The insanity of the net neutrality position is that its advocates assume future capacity will be there magically. That capacity will be there, only if there is a functioning marketplace that allows those private network operators that carry the traffic that comprises the Internet are able to earn a return on their investment in new Internet capacity. Otherwise, the Government will have to tax and spend to subsidize it. There is no free lunch. The insanity of the online giants' position with ItsOurNet, is that they believe they should get a free ride and that the consumer should have to shoulder the entire cost of increasing the capacity of the Internet. Dont miss the compelling Wash Post Op Ed opposing NNSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2007-01-19 12:30Kudos to Dave Farber and Michael Katz on their very persuasive and compelling Op Ed in the Washington Post opposing net neutrality. I strongly endorse their perspective and wisdom. I feel great kinship with their point of view. There is no problem here. And there is a lot of harm and unintended consequences that can result from preemptively regulating the Internet. Like David and Mike, I am well aware of the potential problems that market power could have. I have a long and public record of standing up to monopoly behavior that I viewed as out of bounds. But I am also a fact and analysis person. The facts and the analysis show this is a competitive marketplace becoming even more competitive in the future. The other "father of the Internet" opposes NNSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2007-01-19 09:49Robert Kahn, known as the co-father of the Internet along with Google's Vint Cerf, opposes net neutrality becuase it would inhibit necessary experimentation and innovation. Kudos to a great article in the Register on this. The fact that Network engineers like Robert Kahn and Dave Farber oppose net neutrality make it clear that net neutrality is not this simple benign policy. It is very dangerous preemptive legislation that presumes to perfectly know the future to allow them to lock in for perpetuity one interation of the Internet. The attempt to intimidate Netcompetition's free speech continuesSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2007-01-18 18:16National Journal's Tech Daily recycled an old factually incorrect charge about Netcompetition.org in its article today on how grassroots groups are lobbying the Senate to omit themselves from the Senate's Ethics and lobbying law. I have asked National Journal for a correction for recycling the factually wrong assessment of Common Cause that Netcompetition.org is an "astroturf" grass roots group.
The offending excerpt of the Tech Daily article is below: New Chairman Markey defends: protecting Google from net neutralitySubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2007-01-17 18:44I just got around to watching House telecom Subcommittee Chariman Ed Markey address the Memphis media reform conference and was struck that he felt the need to go out of his way to defend Google and only Google at this strongly anti-business forum.
With all due respect Mr. Chairman, "Why should we protect Google?" is precisely the right question. MyDD unabashedly using non-neutral "Googlebombs" to skew search/electionSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2007-01-16 14:22The hypocrisy of net neutrality supporters appears to have no bounds! The influential left wing MyDD blog of Chris Bowers is unabashedly setting out on a broad Internet to manipulate Google search results with their negative political take on John McCain. I need not say more. Just read the link above or see the excerpt I have posted below. Today, I am proposing a long-term, anti-McCain googlebomb project similar to the Googlebomb the Elections campaign I founded in 2006. Read the extended entry for details. Google/Youtube not a neutral gatekeeper; the new discriminatory Internet Censor?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2007-01-16 13:51The respected National Journal has a very interesting article about YouTube and how it may be choosing sides or is not "neutral." It's an important quick read; kudos to National Journal for focusing on it.
Why is this noteworthy?
Hypocrisy Watch: Google's search share rising to 47%,Yahoo's to 28% duopolists?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2007-01-16 10:24It is the height of hypocrisy that non-neutral Google/Yahoo, with 77% share of the search market and rising, continues to assert that the neutrally-operating phone and cable companies are duopolists that endanger the free and open web. Google and Yahoo are increasingly dominant search gatekeepers for the Internet. ComScore's latest figures show Google with 47.3%, Yahoo with 28.5%, market share and rising -- and #3 Microsoft 10.5%, and #4 IAC Ask at 5.4% and falling. Why this is so hypocritical is that: Pages |

It`s a shipping container placed behind a shopping centre in Cape Town's township "Philippi", the kids come after school to train and learn how to box – for free.
They use this facility as there is really not a lot to do in the area, this facility keeps the children off the streets and they learn how use their time and energy in a positive way. They also learn about rules, boundries, discipline, exchange and respect.
"I worked with a broncolor Move 1200 L and 2 Octaboxes of 150 cm and 75 cm with light grid. I took a white cardbox as reflector and a black fabric for the background", says photographer Sandro Bäbler. "I was happy to have the Move with me, as there was no mains supply in the Boxing Club and the battery pack was the best choice I could bring with me.
The Coach of the Club is working for free and he was very touched by the fact, that someone was interested in his work with the kids and even was found of making a real photo project of it. One week after the shooting we brought the prints to the Club and we offered for every kid a school bag.

It was a great pleasure for me to combine this project with a good human action. The happiness was huge and the kids were so proud about the prints hanging in the club and very grateful for the new school bags.

Has anyone had any experience with one of these: Caldwell Mountain Copper Apple Butter Kettle, 20gal for $500, http://www.caldwellmtncopper.com/CopperGallery.htm D Picking & Co Apple, Caramel, and Flat Bottom kettles.http://www.dpicking.net/products.htm (though i believe the flat bottom pot is for decorative purposes)
Any reason you want a copper pot? I don't think many on here use copper when stainless is cheaper.
There are advantages to copper. It would conduct heat better than stainless and is just as sanitary. Also, I read in Palmer's book that it was a good idea to have a little copper in the pot. So I would put a small piece of copper tubing in my pot when I was extract brewing. The main disadvantage that I can see is cost. Stainless would be considerably cheaper. I think that I would go with stainless because of the cost differential.
I have keggles now, i'm just pondering the propane cost/energy savings with the increased conductivity of copper (26x better). Per brew day we're going through $50-$60 in propane, it wouldn't take long to break even and the time savings would go to reducing SWIMBO angst.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE RISING COST IN AMMO PRICES I WILL NO LONGER BE FIRING A WARNING SHOT. "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of sh@t by the clean end." Beer It is the drink of men who think And feel no fear nor fetter Who do not drink to senseless sink But drink to think the better Anonymous
a brew day for us is four 10-12gal batches, and we go through about ~2.5 five gal tanks. If we're going to get the stink eye from our better halves we cram them into one long day instead of having 4 days of stink eye : ) Using BG-14's but not fully open on SS keggles.

Joseph Calleia (August 4, 1897 – October 31, 1975) was a Maltese born American singer, composer, screenwriter and actor, both on Broadway and in film.
Born at Saqqajja Square, Rabat, Malta, to Pasquale and Elena Calleja, he was educated at St Julian's and St Aloysius colleges in Malta. He organized a harmonica band of boys which earned him enough money to leave Malta in 1914, at age 17, and began his career touring Europe as a teenage singer with a harmonica band, appearing in the cafés and music halls of many war-torn and weary capital cities. He later went to New York as a singer and then turned to drama.
Although Calleia made over 50 films, he always claimed to prefer stage performance to film acting. He was considered a bright light on Broadway between 1926 and 1945, and appeared in several hit plays.
"What an actor — Joseph Calleia", said Orson Welles, who directed and performed with Calleia in Touch of Evil (1958):
I fell in love with him as a ten-year-old boy. I saw him in a play in New York, a small miracle called 24 Hours to Kill or something like that.[1] A very well-staged melodrama which was an enormous hit for about a year — it was made as a movie later with somebody else. He had the leading role, and I never forgot him. And through the years I'd seen him in movies — little things. And I could never forget that performance of his. He's always played very stereotyped parts in pictures but is one of the best actors I've ever known. I have such respect for him. You play next to him and you just feel the thing that you do with a big actor — this dynamo going on.[2]:298
By 1931, Calleia had landed an MGM contract in Hollywood, where he successfully pursued a career in the film industry, appearing in a total of 57 movies between then and 1955, frequently playing cops or villains in gangster and western films.
He made his screen debut with appearances in two B-films, His Woman (1931) and The Girl in the Cab (1933). He very quickly made his mark, playing the role of a criminal in Public Hero No. 1 (1935), followed by Riff Raff (1935) in which he played a womanizer, co-starring with Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney. In 1936, Calleia wrote the screenplay for Robin Hood of El Dorado. In 1943, he played El Sordo in For Whom The Bell Tolls.
Calleia received the Critics' Award for his performance as Slimane in the 1938 film Algiers directed by John Cromwell.
Calleia retired in 1963 and died in Sliema, Malta on October 31, 1975, aged 78. He was interred in the family vault at Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery in Paola.
Calleia was posthumously honoured by the Malta postal authority with a set of two commemorative stamps issued in his memory in 1997. In October 2005, a monument consisting of a bust of Calleia was erected in front of the house where he was born. The bust was made gratis by sculptor Anton Agius on the initiative of then 15-year-old, Eman Bonnici.

Grapevine Farms
Grapevine Farms grows affordable food to help feed the homeless and hungry in the Big Country of Texas. It is estimated the as many as 50,000 people are food insecure in the 22 counties of the Big Country of Texas. Working with local non-profits, we are growing food that is affordable with seconds being donated to feeding operations in the Big Country to feed the hungry and homeless.
One major issue in America today is that healthy food has such a large carbon footprint and has become so expensive that an average family of 4 with two working parents making minimum wage cannot afford to eat healthy even using school feeding and food stamps.
This problem has made obesity explode in America because food dollars buy cheap empty calories and does not provide nutrition.
At Grapevine Farms, we are changing the way food is grown and distributed in America and we need your help.
You can help us - contribute on GoFundMe today, or share the word with your friends and family

Using 25 years of the Canadian General Social Survey, I examine trends in life satisfaction and economic and social variables and find that Québec has undergone a remarkable upward shift in mean life satisfaction, as compared with the rest of Canada, during this period. The shift is not easy to explain with conventional economic indices. Video animations in English and French are available to show the evolution over time.: Presentation (PDF) from 30 May 2012 "Forum Vers un indicateur officiel du mieux-vivre québécois", Quebec City. An older (2010) version of the paper is available (and includes an analysis of consistency over time of inferences about local communities). |

NPOV complaint[edit]
"Thriving business district" is neither NPOV nor true. Sorry. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- While this statement may have been true in 2008, isn't now [2011]. Downtown is a busy place, as evidenced by all the people overflowing from bars and eateries and theaters onto Woodward Ave or 9 Mile Rd on given evenings. Many businesses are mainstays (Como's, The Magic Bag, Nami Sushi). If you were to include the surrounding area — roughly bounded by Hilton, Livernois, Woodward Hts, and Marshall — there's more than enough to merit the word "thriving". That said, I'll look over the article for NPOV and cleanup before I remove the tags. — VoxLuna ☾ orbitland 22:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
=== Just an FYI, while Nami Sushi is now closed (and is now a very interesting and beautiful speakeasy-style pub called The Oakland), two other sushi places (Sakana and Inyo) have opened in the last 2 years and have remained open. Not to mention the Rust Belt market, and many other bars and nightclubs. Hey, I could go on continuing to advertise, but if you get down to Ferndale on a nice weekend sometime, you will see that it is thriving. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone else think this article reads like a giant brochure trying to get people to visit or move to Ferndale? To me, it looks like it was written by a member of the city government. I propose a re-write that omits positive aspects. Wiki articles are to remain neutral, simply giving the facts, not praising the subject left and right (nor bashing, for that matter). Thoughts? hsxeric (talk) 21:41, 03 August 2009 (UTC)
- I would be interested in reading how the city became a gay community, with the exodus from Detroit and more particularly the Palmer Park area. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 00:57, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Seriously the website is a nickname?
What about "Ferntucky" I remember residence telling me about that one due to the red neck population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, agreed. Not sure why that was there, but I've moved the link to the External links section. Thanks for pointing it out. Unforgiven24 (talk) 21:09, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Ferndale is legitimate. It's Hazelpark that is "Hazel-tucky". Oh, but so lovingly so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacob134 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
EFFIGY STUDIOS[edit]
Sorry to report this, but according to the Michigan Business Lookup website. Eminem is NOT the owner of Effigy Studios. A Thomas W. Johnson is listed as the owner.
Thinkingamericanist (talk) 18:11, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, no. Thomas Johnson is listed on the referenced documents as the agent, not the owner. But I don't think even if he is the owner of a business in the city merits his inclusion on the list of notable people. If that were the case, the Walton family could be listed as notable people in almost every settlement of size in the whole country. John from Idegon (talk) 18:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

I made it through the first song and a half before getting bored. Mars Volta's last album was very strong, I thought, though it also abandoned the craziness that pretty much defined them in the past. That's about all I can listen to now — maybe the first album and EP, once in a great while. Everything else, I just want them to calm the fuck down! Jesus!

 Two questions: 1) Would the Yukon monocular work if mounted in front of a rifle scope? 2) Is there a mount made for it to mount to a rifle? I have a BAR and not a M14 style rifle which most night vision scope are made for.

Every other year, the touring culminates in "3-11 Day," held in New Orleans on — when else? — March 11. Thousands of fans from around the country and the globe unite for a three-day celebration that empathizes unity, positivity, and tearing up the stage. Last year turned into a five-hour event with a 63-song set list. Even the mayor officially proclaimed it "3-11 Day. "
This year, 311's spring tour has already kicked off and will keep the band on the road until mid-May, when it takes a two-week break before embarking on its legendary summer run. South Florida fans will get a chance to partake of some 311 goodness on April 29, when the guys come to West Palm to headline the first day of SunFest.
The Summer Unity Tour then kicks off in June. In past years, the band's supporting acts have included the Wailers, the Roots, Papa Roach, O.A.R., Matisyahu, and Snoop Dogg. This year, Ziggy Marley is coming along.
"Our music, I think, lends itself to a wide variety of styles and genres," says Martinez. "The live show's always been something that people really got into once they experienced it. That's always kinda been our M.O. — you know, just a great live show."
In the end, it's all about that constant underlying message. As singer Hexum is known for saying at the close of shows, "Stay positive, and love your life."

Get off the train in Florence and in 5 minutes you are at the hotel located on the Santa Maria Novella Square. This was a huge plus for us and our overstuffed suitcases. The location was perfect for us - near the Central Market, shopping, museums, etc. We walked everywhere. The room and bathroom were gorgeous and large, especially by European standards. There was snafu about getting 2 twins beds, which our travel agent blamed on the hotel and vice versa, and we didn't have a view, and it was sometimes very noisy right out our window, but the location and size of the room made up for those mishaps. The hotel staff, while very helpful, sometimes needed more than one person behind the desk. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was for the business center - it was just a computer on a desk and I couldn't access my Comcast email account and another guest couldn't get into their gmail account. My friend's AOL worked just fine, but that was upsetting to me. The gym was small, but gorgeous - as with everything else at this hotel, it looked brand new. They could have used a water cooler in there, though. Breakfast, with a magnificent view of the city, was delicious, although they needed to replenish more often. Everything has the hotel monogram on it - very elegant.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

La Toya Jackson - Jackson Mourned Abusive Ex-husband's Death
La Toya Jackson shocked her family and friends by refusing to "rejoice" the death of her allegedly violent ex-husband and former manager Jack Gordon.
Michael Jackson's older sister claims she was forced into the 1987 marriage against her will, and was reportedly subjected to domestic violence throughout the union.
She filed for divorce in 1997 and Gordon died 12 years later (05). And despite her claims the marriage was a sham, La Toya reveals she was saddened by his demise.
Speaking on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, she explains, "When I heard that he had died, I was very, very hurt. I felt sorry for his family.
"Everyone that I knew and that knew me were very happy and were rejoicing and I would say to them, 'You can't rejoice over someone's downfall.'"
However, La Toya insists she never truly loved her ex: "I walked out many times. I did not (love him). We were manager and artist. He would always say, 'Do you love me?' and my answer was always, 'I love everybody.'"

ABC News' Teddy Davis reports: Fmr. Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) was bypassed on Monday for secretary of Health and Human Services. He stepped down as chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Jan. 21, 2009.
Ferdous Al-Faruque/ ABC News Howard Dean's hopes of joining the Cabinet were dashed for a second time on Monday but the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has not been deterred from pushing early childhood intervention, an issue he was hoping to champion as secretary of Health and Human Services. "If I had been in Obama's Cabinet, I would have been delighted to work on this," Dean told ABC News. "Since I didn't get in HHS, which would have had a lot to do with this, I'm going to just do it." Dean's Monday interview with ABC News was conducted by phone while Obama was formally announcing that Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) was his choice to lead HHS after Obama's original pick, former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., bowed out over unpaid taxes. Now that his tenure has ended at the DNC, Dean is working to launch a school readiness program in New York City. The integrated services are expected to include home-nurse visits, parenting workshops, day care, early childhood education, and after-school programs. "We found a school, there are some wonderful people associated with it, it has especially strong leadership, there are social services in the district," he said. "So, all the ingredients are there. And now the question is: can we coordinate it and can I come up with some money so that nobody gets left behind?" To learn how to get this project off the ground, Dean has consulted Geoffrey Canada, the president and CEO of the Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), a multi-faceted anti-poverty program which includes something called "Baby College," a place where pregnant women and their significant others receive counseling on how to care for newborns. Dean, who grew up in New York on Park Avenue, is not the only one who has looked to the HCZ program as a model. While campaigning for president, Obama proposed replicating the Harlem program in 20 cities across the country. He said the federal government would provide half of the funding with the rest of the money coming from philanthropies and businesses. The budget blueprint which Obama unveiled last week follows up on his campaign promise: it includes money to support the creation of "Promise Neighborhoods" in which schools and community organizations would collaborate to provide broad support to families and children in high-poverty areas. While Dean would have enjoyed working on Obama's "Promise Neighborhood" program, the former Vermont governor is hoping that the project he is spearheading in New York can become a useful model. "This doesn't get you to the 20 cities," said Dean. "But what you need is a very successful demonstration project." "I've already spoken with (Education Secretary) Arne Duncan," said Dean. "He thinks this is all a great idea." Dean first became interested in early childhood intervention while trying to get a handle on prison costs as governor. Under his Success by Six program, every child in Vermont, whose parents ask for it, gets a visit within two weeks of their birth from a social worker or school nurse. The purpose of the visits is to help parents cope with the birth of a new child. "It's emotional deficits, its teenagers having kids, its low educational aspirations, its the disorganization that comes from intense poverty," said Dean. He likens the initiative to Head Start, which offers services to children between the ages of 3 and 5, but says there is an advantage to working with even younger children and their parents. "Most kids are hard-wired by the time they are three," said Dean. In addition to promoting early childhood education, Dean's post-DNC plans include joining the government affairs practice at McKenna, Long & Aldridge LLP. He also plans to promote health-care reform through Democracy for America and democratic institutions worldwide through the National Democratic Institute. ABC News' Ferdous Al-Faruque contributed to this report.

Some developers have stated that it raises the cost only about 10 percent. This can vary quite a bit depending on how different the systems in question are. For instance, the XBox and PC versions of ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'' are quite similar; the [=iPhone=] and [[PlaystationThree PS3]] versions of ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' are quite a bit different.This really became popular with developers during the [[TurnOfTheMillennium 2000s]]. Even though the PlayStation2 was in the lead, games on the {{Xbox}}, GameCube, and Windows still sold well enough to ensure an even bigger profit than on the [=PS2=] alone for very little extra development. This was even carried to the point of the wildly popular GameBoyAdvance receiving "ports" of set-top titles! The fact that the Xbox and [[{{Xbox 360}} its successor]] are functionally small [=PCs=] running an embedded version of Windows doesn't hurt either.With the cost of video game development being even higher with "high definition systems", this trope is more popular than ever. Series that used to be at least timed-exclusive are now going multi-platform. Nowadays, however, the priorities have shifted -- as the PS3 and {{Xbox 360}} concentrate more on graphics than the {{Wii}}, and the Wii's controls are non-standard compared to the other systems, the result is usually one version of a game for PS3 and {{Xbox 360}}, sometimes called [[{{Portmanteau}} PS360]][[note]]Sometimes also confusingly used for the ''owners'' of both an Xbox 360 and PS3[[/note]], and another version which is released on the Wii (and occasionally on [=PS2=] as well, hence also the term [=WiiS2=]). That said, however, graphics card technology that was state of the art at the time the Xbox 360 and the PS3 were released is actually somewhat dated now; the latest high-end graphics cards can leave them both in the dust, but only a relatively small number of games actually take full advantage of this, as developers understandably want as many potential customers as possible. Some PC gamers call this pandering to the LowestCommonDenominator, others see anything that means they can go longer between expensive hardware upgrades as a good thing.On the PC side of things, some games are literally multiplatform, with the versions for different platforms (say, Windows, Macintosh, and Linux) all on the same physical media (sometimes called a "hybrid" release.) This is OlderThanTheNES in PC-land; in the days of 5.25" floppy disks, some games were released with a version for one computer (for example, the UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}}) on one side, and a version for another (UsefulNotes/AppleII, [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer IBM PC]], or [[UsefulNotes/Atari8BitComputers Atari 8-bit]]) on the other. Obviously, this sort of thing doesn't fly in console-land, due to dictatorial fiat console companies have over developers (possibly carried over from the days of [[UsefulNotes/{{cartridge}} carts]], when it was physically impossible.)'''Keep in mind the difference between this and a port.''' If a game was made for one system first, any version past that is a port or remake, like ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}''.'''It also doesn't count if the series has many different versions on each system''', like ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' or the ''Franchise/TalesSeries''.Compare CashCowFranchise. Contrast with ReformulatedGame, where completely different versions of the same game title is released across multiple platforms.----!!Examples!!!Releases among series that usually develop for one system:* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', the SpiritualSuccessor to the [=PS3=] exclusive ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'', was released on both the {{PlayStation 3}} and Xbox 360 and has now been ported to the PC.* ''DigimonWorld4'' was released for the [=PlayStation 2=], Xbox and NintendoGamecube. The prior titles were only for PlayStation, and later ones were only for the NintendoDS.* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' was announced for the {{Xbox 360}} midway through development after it had been originally announced for the [=PS3=], at least for the overseas market.** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' is notable for being not only MultiPlatform, but the first MMORPG to cross the console-PC divide. It started on the PS2, got a PC version, and eventually got an {{Xbox 360}} version by the third expansion, ''Treasures of Aht Urhgan''.* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' debuted simultaneously on the [=PS3=] and Xbox 360. The first two GTA games were originally PC games that got ported to the original [=PlayStation=], while ''GrandTheftAutoIII'', ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'' were first released on the [=PS2=] and eventually got ported to the Xbox and PC.* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' was developed for the GameCube, but the game was delayed to the point where Nintendo realized they could release it on the {{Wii}} at the same time and have a launch game for that system. This succeeded, as the combined sales of both versions have made it the second bestselling game in the series. The two versions of ''Twilight Princess'' have one very noticeable difference: they're mirrored. In previous titles, Link wielded his sword with his left-hand, which was carried over to the [=GameCube=] version, but because more people are right-handed than left-, Nintendo flipped the Wii version to make it easier for people to control. That means they flipped '''the entire game''', so maps have to likewise be flipped if you want to use them between versions.* ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' were both given simultaneous releases on the [=PlayStation=] and Sega Saturn after most of the prior games in their respective sub-series were released primarily for NES and Super NES (although ''MegaManX3'' did have a PS and Saturn release in Japan). Subsequent games in the ''X'' series would be released for the [=PlayStation=] and then the [=PS2=], while the classic series would take a decade long hiatus until the release of ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]'' for Wii, [=PS3=] and Xbox 360.* The ''[[Franchise/MetalGear Metal Gear Solid HD Collection]]'' for the [=PS3=] and Xbox 360 (a compilation that includes ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Metal Gear Solid 2]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater 3]]'', as well as ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]]'') marked the turning point when the series started getting consistent multiplatform releases. Prior titles since the original ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' were released exclusively for [=PlayStation=] consoles with only a few exceptions[[note]]Namely ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance'', which was a multiplatform release for the original Xbox, [=PS2=] and PC, and ''The Twin Snakes'', a remake of the first ''MGS'' released exclusively for the [=GameCube=].[[/note]], but the subsequent games in the series (the hack 'n slash spinoff ''VideoGame/MetalGearRising'' and the two parter ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain Metal Gear Solid V]]''), were developed with multiple platforms in mind and debuted on both, PS and Xbox consoles.* The Team Ninja versions of ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' and ''Ninja Gaiden II'' were originally released exclusively for the Xbox and Xbox 360 respectively, although both games were eventually ported to the [=PS3=] (and later on, the PS Vita) in the form of the ''Sigma'' versions. ''Ninja Gaiden 3'' on the other hand, was released on the Xbox 360 and [=PS3=] from the get go.* The ''Manga/{{Naruto}}: Ultimate Ninja'' series was exclusive to [=PlayStation=] brand platforms for the longest time... until ''NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2'', which was released for the Xbox 360 in addition to the [=PS3=]. Every new entry in the series since then had been released for both platforms.* The first two ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' games (though technically different games, were the same in almost every way) were released for the [[GameBoyAdvance GBA]] and the [[NintendoDS DS]].* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' was released on the [=PS3=] and Xbox 360 simultaneously, making it the first installment in [[Franchise/ResidentEvil the series]] to debut on two platforms. The series got its start on the original {{PlayStation}}, where it had its first three numbered entries, before getting an [[OddlyNamedSequel oddly-named sequel]] on the {{Dreamcast}} in the form of ''ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' and briefly becoming a {{GameCube}} exclusive for ''ResidentEvil4'', though all five games (along with the once Nintendo-exclusive 2002 remake of the first game) eventually got ports on multiple platforms (including PC).* ''[[VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny]]'' is the only ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'' game to be multi-platform (on the Wii and the PS3; previous titles had been for the DS or Wii only) and the first ''HarvestMoon'' ''or'' ''Rune Factory'' to have a simultaneous multi-platform release.* ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Super Street Fighter II]]'', while originally an arcade game, had the distinction of being the first Franchise/StreetFighter game to be ported to two consoles at the same time, being released for the SNES and Genesis. The original ''Street Fighter II'' and ''Street Fighter II Turbo'' were exclusives to the SNES, although the Genesis did end up getting a rebranded port of the latter titled ''Street Fighter II′: Special Champion Edition''. This marked Capcom's shift from being primarily a Nintendo developer on home consoles to supporting multiple platforms (although the company did authorized licensed conversions of their games for the Genesis and [=TurboGrafx=] 16).* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 6'' was exempt from the series' Sony leash and allowed to be released on the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3.!!!Titles or series notable for being MultiPlatform:* Most {{licensed game}}s* ''VideoGame/AnotherWorld''* ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns''* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}''* ''{{Burnout}}''* ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''* ''Franchise/DragonAge''* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', starting with ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''* ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''* ''VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame''* ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''* ''VideoGame/MaddenNFL''* ''Franchise/MassEffect'', starting with ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 ME2]]''. ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect1 ME1]]'' was initially an Xbox 360 exclusive but was ported to the PC and [=PS3=] later.* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor''* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat''* ''VideoGame/{{Naev}}'', an open-source {{freeware game}} available for PC, Mac, and most Linux distros.* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed''* ''VideoGame/NobunagasAmbition'' (but [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]])* ''VideoGame/RockBand''* ''VideoGame/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' (but sometimes [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]])* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', after Sega's hardware division imploded.* ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'', a {{Kickstarter}}-funded RPG by Creator/{{Obsidian|Entertainment}} that will be compatible with PC, Mac, and Linux, and released on both [[Website/GOGDotCom GOG]] and {{Steam}}.* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'', even before Sega's hardware division imploded.* ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}''* ''VideoGame/TempleOfApshai''* ''VideoGame/TimeShift''* ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters''* ''VideoGame/TombRaider''* Many Creator/{{Ubisoft}} properties:** ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''** ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil''** ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia''** ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}''** Creator/TomClancy games like ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' and ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'', except for the Xbox 360 exclusive ''Splinter Cell: Conviction''.* Most Creator/{{Blizzard|Entertainment}} titles.* The ''HumbleIndieBundle'' releases have all canonically been on Mac, PC, and Linux, and the most recent Bundles have added Android to the list.----
