Zionism; a pernicious virus and World Problem.
It's well beyond strange at this point. How is it that Zionist American and Israeli Jews are connected to so many things involving murders, single and plural? How is it that the same Israeli security firm was in charge of all 9/11 airports as well as the London Tube and the Madrid train station at the time of the attacks? What's the story with Odigo and Promis software? Why does it all track back to Israel? Understand that I could add much, much more; from Larry Silverstein to the curious locations of Olmert and Netanyahu on certain significant dates. Two things seem apparent, thinking or talking about these things is anti-Semitic and whatever happened was mere coincidence and Israel should probably get more money and guns for being associated with unbearable coincidences.

For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The CE665S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.

Out of pages of Harry Potter: scientists claim advance toward 'invisibility' clothing
Harry Potter's invisibility cloak may not be so far-fetched, according to new work by researchers from St. Andrew University in Scotland.
Scientists have theorized that it should be possible to develop flexible materials that manipulate light, shielding them from view. The team from Scotland reports in New Journal of Physics that a new material called Meta-flex overcomes two key challenges.
The scientists say they have made meta-atoms small enough to interact with visible light. They also claim to have made metamaterials that can be removed from the hard surfaces they're developed on and used in more flexible products.
The tiny meta-atoms used in the new material had been developed previously but used on flat, hard surfaces, making them unsuitable for clothing.
"Metamaterials give us the ultimate handle on manipulating the behavior of light," said Andrea Di Falco, who led the research team. "The impact of our new material Meta-flex is ubiquitous. It could be possible to use Meta-flex for creating smart fabrics and, in the paper, we show how easy it is to place Meta-flex on disposable contact lenses. showing how flexible superlenses could be used for visual prostheses."

By now, most companies have accepted that employer branding is of strategic importance, but many are still not sure how to measure something they often consider intangible and belonging to what was historically viewed as tactical rather than strategic. According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), only 25% of companies have taken steps to measure the impact of their employer brand. Clearly, measurement (and thus the ability to demonstrate value) is integral to gaining internal support from senior executives and to the ultimate success of the initiative. Figuring out what to measure, however, is often the tricky part. There's no one-size fits all and much depends on making sure you first have a well-developed strategy.
Certain results can be measured with a high degree of accuracy and according to the statistics found in Employer Branding International's 2011 study there are several different possible metrics to use when considering the ROI of your employer branding:
- Employee satisfaction: closely related to employer brand because organisations with better brands are perceived to be better places to work
- Employee engagement: measured by length of service, turnover statistics and targeted surveys
- Quality of hire: the matching of ability, education and credentials of the qualified applicants to a position
- Time and cost per hire
- Job acceptance rate of candidates
- Number of applicants
- Employee turnover: a leading indicator and measurement of employer brand. In general, an increase in employee turnover is indicative of a weaker brand
- Increased level of employee referrals: clear evidence that employees believe the company is a good place to work
- Decreased absenteeism
The study found that retention rate is the most common metric used to measure ROI of employer branding, followed by employee engagement, quality of hire, cost per hire and number of applicants.
Other less traditional measures include promotion readiness rating, external/internal hire ratio, performance ratings of newly promoted managers and manager/executive failure rate.
So which metric(s) should you use? This will depend on your business and recruiting objectives as well as where you are in the evolution of your employer branding strategy. Make sure you have understood your audience/s and that your chosen metrics are reliable and predictive. Your objectives will change as your company grows and changes, and will be impacted by many factors such as market conditions, product innovation or employee engagement. Brett Minchington says "The link between creating employer brand value and financial (e.g. cost per hire, profit per employee, staff turnover cost) and non-financial measures (e.g. employee engagement, employee loyalty, employer brand awareness) is variable and must be evaluated on a case by case basis and re-evaluated over time as the strategy evolves."
He goes on to offer an action plan you can share and discuss amongst those responsible for your employer brand strategy to improve your measurement and ROI:
- Clearly define your employer branding objective(s). Conducting a strategic audit of your employer brand is a good place to start to define your objectives and identify where your resources are best invested.
- Understand the key drivers of achieving your objective. If you can identify the cause and effect of how you attract and retain the best talent, you can focus your efforts on these activities.
- Develop an employer brand scorecard. Your scorecard should identify the financial and non-financial measures that drive employer brand value. It should allow you to track and report on those measures most likely to impact on achieving your objectives.
- Allocate responsibility. The responsibility for reporting on the performance should rest with the employee(s) responsible for the employer branding activity, whether housed in a single or multiple departments. Ensure everyone is on the same page!
- Obtain baseline data on your workforce. Gather data on your current workforce to obtain a solid understanding of your target audience. Seek information on hobbies, commuting patterns, family situations, interests and behaviours. Go beyond demographics and search for patterns amongst subsets of employees. Your most talented young employees may all share an interest in gaming so use that to your advantage rather than send them to a full day of training on a topic unrelated to their interests!
- Dispel assumptions. Share the data with your leaders and dispel assumptions they have about the typical employee. Break down employee likes and dislikes. Share intuitive data about commonalities you found amongst 'A level' talent. Create new personas that are data-based and not assumption based.
- Listen closely to employee feedback and observe behaviours. Pay close attention to the channels your current employees use and map marketing strategies to their preferred channels. This will ensure you have tactics to allow for a deeper, richer perspective into how well your employer brand and EVP strategy is resonating with employees.
- Evaluate your progress. Business conditions aren't static, nor should your measures be! They're ever changing and more valuable when measured over time. Make comparisons and don't be afraid to report failures. They'll drive change and show you're paying attention to your investment.

Bearing Witness: Cornerstone of the New Evangelization
The New Evangelization is all about testimony. Each is called to be a witness i...
This selection from a sermon of a sixth century African Church Father interprets the gift of tongues on Pentecost as a sign of the unity, catholicity and universality of the Catholic Church which is, from the day of its birth, made up of people from all nations and therefore speaks all languages.
The disciples spoke in the language of every nation. At Pentecost God chose this means to indicate the presence of the Holy Spirit: whoever had received the Spirit spoke in every kind of tongue. We must realize, dear brothers, that this is the same Holy Spirit by whom love is poured out in our hearts. It was love that was to bring the Church of God together all over the world. And as individual men who received the Holy Spirit in those days could speak in all kinds of tongues, so today the Church, united by the Holy Spirit, speaks in the language of every people.
Therefore if somebody should say to one of us, "You have received the Holy Spirit, why do you not speak in tongues?" his reply should be, "I do indeed speak in the tongues of all men, because I belong to the body of Christ, that is, the Church, and she speaks all languages. What else did the presence of the Holy Spirit indicate at Pentecost, except that God's Church was to speak in the language of every people?"
This was the way in which the Lord's promise was fulfilled: No one puts new wine into old wineskins. New wine is put into fresh skins, and so both are preserved. So when the disciples were heard speaking in all kinds of languages, some people were not far wrong in saying: They have been drinking too much new wine. The truth is that the disciples had now become fresh wineskins, renewed and made holy by grace. The new wine of the Holy Spirit filled them, so that their fervor brimmed over and they spoke in manifold tongues. By this spectacular miracle they became a sign of the Catholic Church, which embraces the language of every nation.
Keep this feast, then, as members of the one body of Christ. It will be no empty festival for you if you really live what you are celebrating. For you are the members of that Church which the Lord acknowledges as his own, being himself acknowledged by her, that same Church which he fills with the Holy Spirit as she spreads throughout the world. He is like a bridegroom who never loses sight of his own bride; no one could ever deceive him by substituting some other woman.
To you men of all nations, then, who make up the Church of Christ, you, the members of Christ, you, the body of Christ, you, the bride of Christ—to all of you the Apostle addresses these words: Bear with one another in love; do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Notice that when Paul urges us to bear with one another, he bases his argument on love, and when he speaks of our hope of unity, he emphasizes the bond of peace. This Church is the house of God, built up of living stones, whose master is almighty God. It is his delight to dwell here. Take care, then, that he never has the sorrow of seeing it undermined by schism and collapsing in ruins.
This selection from a sermon of a sixth century African Church Father (Sermo 8, 1-3: PL 65, 743-744) on the tongues of Pentecost as a sign of the unity, catholicity and universality of the Catholic Church which speaks all languages is used in the Roman Office of Readings for Saturday of the 7th week of Easter, the vigil of Pentecost, and is accompanied by a biblical reading from the Third letter of John.


text: ok, i'm wondering what the common consensus here is. It seems like (especially in the midwest), some tougher to find beers are coming out (at least originally) in 4-pks. That is, 4 12 oz bottles of beer. Then in the trading forums, it seems like everyone is always "ISO: Black Note 4-pk" or KBS, BB4d, Bourbon County (better example 6 months ago), etc.... As a guy that usually busts my butt to hunt some of these down, i tend to ignore many of these trades as "not worth it", even if it's about on $4$. Tons of stores break these 4 pks up and sell them as singles, and many many have a limit of 1 pk or sometimes 1 btl. Other beers that are in small bottles but don't happen to be in 4-pks together (RR stuff, some Lost Abbey, Cantillon, westy, etc) are always referred to as singles. So i guess i'm asking, am i wrong on this? i feel like (cost aside), sending out 4 bottles totaling 48 oz of rare-ish beer is not the same as sending one larger bottle... I guess, in nerd terms, i'm having an issue with the "units" here. I think perhaps this is feeding into the "greedy midwest traders" storyline, too, that just because the beer is sometimes attached to three others and is therefore by convention cheaper, doesn't mean we want to get rid of 4 of them at once! (it is entirely possible that this is "just me") Not trying to hype these beers or anything (hell they are too hard to get as it is), i'm not nearly that sensitive and don't much care, just a beer geek musing/wanting a light-hearted discussion about trade forum tendencies on a mildly boring afternoon

Customer Reviews
Does the job but has one big bug
I've been using this program for a long time now. It works great in converting documents to PDF. The one big annoying limitation is there's a glitch that always occurs when I try to email a converted document through the program. I prepare the document as an attachment, it indicates that the document goes out, however it really does. It's screwed me up a few times when I thought I document was sent but never even found its way to my outbox were sent items. I don't know where these documents disappear to. As a workaround I save the document and have to export it to my dropbox to send through my dropbox. Again and annoying bug that has been fixed in a long time.
It Works
It works. That's about the best I can muster up to say about this app. I was expecting an app that was more like a PDF printer which allows you to create a PDF much like you print to an actual printer, directly from Safari or other apps. this app requires that the provided browser is used to print web pages, or to copy and paste anything you want to turn I to a PDF.
I expected this app to be a bit more versatile given the price. if you are willing to deal with these features, the app will create a PDF. It does work.
Phenomenal Program
I LOVE this application! I use it regularly to create copies of webpages that I need to reference later. It is a great program that I recommend highly. So far I haven't lost any of the data that I've downloaded. My only wish is that I could upload it to the cloud and later my computer on the chance that the program could crash.

TGS 2006: Unreal Tournament PS3 Supports MODs
Microsoft 'quite negative toward user-created content.'
Sony's approach will enable Epic Games to grant fans access to create their own content for Unreal Tournament 2007 using Epic Games-released development tools and distribute them to PlayStation 3 users. Nothing like this has been attempted on consoles before because it wrestles control over content from the publishers, but Sweeny says he "would love to transfer this mod community over to the console platforms."
One of the key differences between online gaming in the PC space and the console world is the interaction between the gamer and the game itself. On the PC, developers typically release tools that open up entire communities to creating modifications, ranging from a new character to full-scale conversions of gameplay and assets. Previously, this hasn't been possible on consoles.
Microsoft has started taken steps towards this issue with the release of their XNA tools, but this limits fans to developing their own games, not producing additional content for existing releases. Considering how shooter-oriented the Xbox machines are, it's a little disheartening for the hardcore, and with the advent of microtransactions, it's a little difficult to remove cynicism that Microsoft simply doesn't want to take away from potential profit.
Even Sweeny agrees Microsoft hasn't been easy to negotiate with on the issue. "Unfortunately it's [Xbox Live] more of a closed platform," and says they've even been "quite negative toward user-created content."
If Sony's gamble is successful, we could see an interesting balance between user-created content and developer-driven, more polished, purchasable releases. The model works on the PC -- why else do you think companies are able to sell expansion packs while users continue to crank out their own content? The question is whether Microsoft will end up following suit.

PC rulesPosted: Dec 08, 2006 12:00AM PST by strathack
I don't think it really matters all that much because everyone knows the PC rules this format of game unless someone has decided to include a mouse and keyboard for the PS3. Unreal has always been a killer app for the PC and while I thought the console attempts were good they still can't hold a candle to the PC platform
And here come the virusesPosted: Oct 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by zeroredrum
Ok now Playstation has already had issues with Online and trojan and other viruses due to online with the PSp. They are really going to allow users to have dev tools to mod the system, thats smart, NOT, I am glad MS hasnt allowed this as if you thought action replay was bad,in halo 2 wait till users hack into the ps servers and your console. It wont take long or be hard to do either with PS3 a basic PC, with linux its only a matter of time before hacks would happen, this makes it possible faster, and also shows hackers the how and where to attack. bad move again sony I hope you all enjoy a 600.00 paperwieght if it happens to get hacked like many PSP owners that had a 300.00 brick after it launched

Dude Ridge Racer sux - no matter da resolution!Posted: Sep 25, 2006 12:00AM PST by lazer217blazer251708
Dude, Ridge Racer sux, no matter da resolution! I read Ridge Racer 6 was da worst seller on Xbox 360, and all the reviews said the graphics engine was very disappointing. Well, guess what...the graphics engine of Ridge Racer 6 was based on the same graphics engine as Ridge Racer 7 on PS3! I work with computers when I'm not out on da beach. I can tell ya one thing: Ridge Racer 7 looks like a regular Xbox game, but with higher resolution. Namco doesn't use enough polygons per frame! Sure, the PS3 isn't capable of as many polygons as the Xbox 360, but who cares! They could have carefully designed the stages to try to make it look like more polygons are on the screen. Instead, da stupid programma's just made a game so similar to the 360 version, people thought it was a port. Dis is Y I don't like Ridge Racer anymore. Dis is duh reason Y Ridge Racer was the worst sellin game on the Xbox 360, and it will be on PS3, too...C-ing garbage in higher resolution doesn't help N-E-thing
RE: ATHF_rocksPosted: Sep 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by Skyrider
Before you start spouting "specs" stop and think for a second. The PS3's ability or inability to truly handle mods has nothing to do with how powerful it is. PC's have been doing mods for years, power was and is never an issue. The problem lies in the PS3 not having the tools (both custom coded, and general graphics/modeling programs such as Photoshop and 3D Studio Max) to actually support modding. Those tools would easily take up the PS3's entire HD space if they were available, and using discs (yes even the mythical blu-ray) isn't an option. The only way the PS3 would be able to have the ability to truly mod would be though connections with your PC, and at that point the question arises again: "Why bother to buy a PS3 for $600 to make mods for if you have a computer already?"

"If PS2 and PSOne games need to be downloaded for a fee in order to be played on the Playstation 3, it means the Playstation 3 is NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE like the Playstation 2 is. Looks like Sony was deceiving people all along...AGAIN!" NOWHERE IN THE ARTICLE does he even mention backwards compatibility. what he says is that certain games will be able to be downloaded. god, you microsoft fanboys are so annoying, it's not even funny. you scour articles looking for any anti-sony bull you can spread around like viruses, and it's incredibly tiring. do you people own stock in microsoft or something? why wouldn't you want to just go for what system has the type of games you like to play instead of suckling off the teat of microsoft? hell, i don't like everything sony's doing, but i happen to like their games. if x-box had better games, i'd have one of those. you people are SO annoying. god.
Very InterestingPosted: Sep 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by crrazymonkey
This is a good move for Sony, it's the type of move they need to make if their online service is going to be seen as a serious competitor to Xbox Live or even WiiConnect24. Hopefully(for Sony) Microsoft will not support mods and those hardcore PC Gamers that want a console will go for the PS3...although now that I'm rambling about this, PC gamers will play the game on PC, as will most people including me...terrible comment i know

Very hard to pull offPosted: Sep 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by Kurgan10
I also can't see this working on the PS3.The PS3 simply is not a pc and will not have pc extensions or compatibilty to make designing user created content something that can be easily and/or conveniently done. MS has the perfect setup to take XNA and other future tool sets(being able to connect to a pc out of the box etc.) to it's full potential to do something like this.Unfortunately though, i doubt MS would ever give the end user this kind of power.In a way, it might depend how far Sony can take thei plans, so if they somehow are successful, then MS would be more likely to extend more content control over to the end user as well. Only time will tell, but i don't have high hopes.
I can't see this working on ps3Posted: Sep 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by Skyrider
The user interface, the storage options, the hardware compatibility, the lack of true graphic and modeling tools, all of these things really make me question how this can possibly work on a PS3. I suppose one could say you could create everything on a PC and then import it to the PS3...but then at that point why waste $600 on a ps3 when you could just spend $40-50 on UT2k7 for PC and just make the mod for PC?
User created content rivals many published gamesPosted: Sep 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by itsukiAE85
From the fantastic tac ops mod on the original unreal tournament to the bevy of full on conversions of unreal tournament 2004 the contributions of the mod community has proven to be fantastic. Anyone that says otherwise has either: never played any of the fine mods available, or is just a damn fool, plain and simple. User content also help stem the prevalence of cheaters. Instead of having to wait for a corporate patch user created tools can stay on top of the malicious hackers much more efficiently. I'm reminded of the tools in the original unreal tournament that were quite effective in limiting the population of aimbots. Finally, fearing for the safety of your consoles is a tad foolish. Surely there have been problems but in my long experience with video game mods I have experienced no such problems. I'd be just as much concerned with buggy games such as oblivion that crash my 360 so frequently as I would with user created mods.
user made mods = bad ideaPosted: Sep 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by overthetop1
Consider this. Some braindead idiot makes a mod that exploits certain things. Or makes a mod that doesn't work or doesn't work as intended and it screws up someone's new PS3. Who is responsible then since the user created mod doesn't through a QA process by Epic or Sony and gets distributed to anyone online who wanted to try out the mod. What if anybody and everybody decides to create a mod and uploads it? Why would anyone want to wade through a ton of bad mods just to get to a good one? It may sound good on paper, but having it work in a console environment is bad news.
PS3 Online NewsPosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Sony_Playstation
TGS 2006: Sony Unveils PS3 Dashboard, Browser By Jason Bayer on Sep 22, 2006 Following Ken Kutaragi's disappointing keynote (they ended with a video of Afrika -- enough said), 1UP and other media were invited to a separate, smaller meeting at their Tokyo offices where Sony's president of Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison allowed us an early look at PlayStation 3's dashboard and a few of the multimedia features that will be included within the interface. The interface was described by Harrison as "too early" to release screen shots, however, so you'll have to rely on our descriptions for now. As expected, the interface is very much like the one you'll currently find on PSP but more refined, polished and updated. First off, photos. Xbox 360 allows for a slideshow gallery accompanied by music, but PS3's is a little more ambitious, allowing you to manipulate the pictures in a variety of ways (similar to Wii's approach). For example, one of the filters made the images appear as though they were printed on paper. Mr. Sam Kennedy was in attendance during the presentation, describing the filter as "pretty slick." You're pretty slick yourself, Sam-o. Also included is a music player with a generic light show playing over. Otherwise, it's pretty straightforward. More interesting was the web browser (which, unlike Nintendo's version of Opera, appears to be free) demonstration, where Harrison opened multiple windows -- in this case, the PlayStation.com home page, Google and a few others -- and flipped through them in a tab-like fashion (think tabbed AIM windows) very quickly.

Announcement: Playstation 3 is NOT backward compatible!Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by John_Gamer
According to information provided by Sony at the Tokyo Game Show, the Playstation 3 is apparently NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE! You can read about this at this website: next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3862&Itemid= Sony says that PSOne and PS2 games can be played on the Playstation 3 "as downloadable content, for a fee." If PS2 and PSOne games need to be downloaded for a fee in order to be played on the Playstation 3, it means the Playstation 3 is NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE like the Playstation 2 is. Looks like Sony was deceiving people all along...AGAIN!
Airlines ban laptops by Dell & Apple - Cause: Sony flammable batteriesPosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by John_Gamer
Announcement: Airlines ban Sony battery laptops by Dell & Apple I just thought I would do my fellow gamers a favor by pointing out some interesting information that I recently found out. All of the major airlines are now banning laptop computers from Dell and Apple, because those laptop computers now have a bad reputation due to the defective Sony batteries that power them. The defective Sony batteries are flammable, and can explode! As a result, Virgin Airlines and many others have officially banned laptops from Dell and Apple computer. You can read about these unfortunate facts associated with the defective Sony batteries at this website: http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/15/virgin-bans-dell-apple-batteries-on-flights/
Give me facts not your own opinion as news.Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by marsman0013
I am sick of rading about your two cents when you only mention a tid bit of REAL INFO. When reporting news, do that and only that. Link to your blog for your own two cents dont intertwine the two that is how all this miconctrewed information gets out there. I personally (if you want to include your two cents is how you should state your opinion like I am about to) I personally think user created content on a console is a terrible idea. Gamers came to consoles for games, straight up. They didnt want the cheat codes and hacks or some amatures creation. If you want that stuff you stick with PC gaming. If you are going to create content you need to have the tools avaialbe to do so porperly, so do it on the pc and play it on the PC. I think this will only lead to more hacks and cheats to come into a console where people are trying to get away form that. I know that is how I feel, and I think that is why people spend money on consoles when they already have a PC.

Opening the platform leaves it open for hacks.Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by NOEEM
This is the reason MS has yet to completely sign onto the idea of user created content; especially mods. If the developer (in this case Epic) isn't thourough when they create their tools they could leave significant room for hackers to cause damage to large number of PS3 owners. MS is being a litte causious, but only time will tell if Sony strategy pans out or backfires.

Very dissapointed in MS.Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Mikeyboy75
Mods are absolutely great. Best part of PC gaming. Plus, MS was even promoting that user created content two E3`s ago with that velocity girl crap. Now your telling me they wont support it?? Fucking MS. Always thinking about the $$$ and never the consumers. I guess that means im buying a ps3.
But will user created content catch on in consoles?Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Epsilon-Zero
Like the title the question is if will user created content catch on in consoles? If the creation was easy and fun then I would say Yes it will, but if the creation demands hours if not days of development like the past UE games have required then I would say no. Creating content for PC games is hard enough with the tools supplied, but how well will the tools work on the console and how much community resources will there be? If we can transport PC created content to the PS3 then it might work, but even that opens up another can of worms such as viruses on consoles. As soon as somebody makes 1 virus and word gets out that its spreading around, then the community of user created content on consoles is dead until someone creates a anti virus program. By that time people will be wondering why they are even bothering trying to make content.

Why user created content scares Microsoft:Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Krylez
The two biggest reasons are GTA: San Andreas' Hot Coffee mod and the Oblivion topless patch. Both were only accessible via user-created content and both got developers into trouble. Opportunist politicians and clueless parents will always blame the game developers and producers as well as the entire industry when sexually-oriented content appears in a game. They don't really understand or even care where it came from. Furthermore, if parents find out that the content was only accessible through user-created content that Microsoft or Sony could have blocked from the get-go, their rage (as well as lawsuits) will be directed at the console manufacturer. Another smaller issue to consider is people "cheating" by using custom skins such as skins that have long spikes on them that stick out when a character is hiding behind something or by simply changing the color of a skin to make the other team stand out like a sore thumb on the multiplayer maps.
Player made modsPosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Dungwader
Are usually crap but the good ones are totally worth it and defenitly give games a longevity that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. It is the major reason that I got Oblivion for the PC over the 360. Player made mods, PC technology improving and allowing better play than the 360, and the PC version was $20 cheaper. =P
No bias in the article though, blackchild1101...Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by cypher50
"How am I supposed to make an educated descision regarding my next Console purchase from a news site, if I have to sift through tons of the authors own 'opinoin'. Isn't that what blogs are for?" blackchild, that is like saying "how am I supposed to make an decision on my next car purchase when journalists at car magazines keep talking about flaws & mistakes in different car companies?". The guys at 1up are journalists and even if they have their own strong opinions about various systems (like Luke's hard on for Wii criticism), they also will not bash a system strictly just to bash it. Sweeney made a good point about Microsoft's closed system and Klepek expanded on it with his own thoughts but I don't think that this would suddenly make someone say "forget the XBox 360, I am only going to get a PS3!". As for your original comment, it definitely did come out of nowhere...don't take these articles so serious as if it is a journalist's job to defend their favorite console and make sure that the associated company wins out in "the Great War".
Mods are greatPosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Citizen_Ska
The reason I love PC gaming so much is MOD content. Look at the Mac Daddy of mods... Counter Strike. It seems like all the non pc gamers are suddenly freaking out. MODS do not lead to rampant cheating. Cheating can exist in any game. Mod content does not lead to widespread viruses and destroy systems. If this were the case mods would not have survived on PC games. This opens the doors to so many student and amatuer game designers and modelers. As a game design student I was never able to work with games on consoles. I was only able to make PC games. Not to mention you now have the ability to mod games on an extremely powerful system. I think this is a rad opportunity.
Mods are good mm'kayPosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by ElricX
I would think that if the game developers took care of their tool kits, then there would less a chance that mods would become hacks/cheats. Regardless, if the mods are for games that are not so multiplayer oriented, then hacks/cheats should be no problem.
MODS also provide alot of Hacks and cheats...Posted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by mandangsbelow69
I really like the idea of user created boards, equiptment, weapons, and other cool shit. Now think of any game that has let you use them and tell me it hasnt been bombed with hacks to death. Microsoft doesnt want to use mods because its already hard enough to find a game with out cheaters online, look at SOCOM and Halo2 they got killed with hackers until SONY or Bungie boots them off. That never stops the Cheaters anyway there usually a step ahead of the programers. So this could be really good but at the same time really bad.

I'm sorry but Microsoft is VERY unforgiving when it comes to developers choices in downloadable content let alone user created content. There was no Microsoft bashin in the article just simple facts when it comes to the strong arming Microsoft implements when it comes to the XBL marketplace. I'm a cross platform fanboy and I hope Microsoft decides to follow suite and encourage the community aspects of it's already implemented online structure.

You got your PC in my ConsolePosted: Sep 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by A.I_Impaired
Is it just me, or are consoles really trying to be the PC? Mind you the designs are streamlined, and the control's are based around a controller ... but I rarely see huge leaps in consoles that havent been done somewhere on PC. Not to knock the consoles, as XBOX Live seems to have taken online gaming a nudge further than even PC can provide, but you get my point. You could call the Wii, a mouse peripheral .. but that is too harsh, I think its taking a few steps to define itself. But really, when will consoles tear a completely new space for themselves?

Last week Nathan Coloquhoun wrote this on conferences.
I'm tired of big monster churches, leaders and organizations not caring about the small and insignificant.
It's everywhere. This conference has been going on in the States for the last few years. It's called Q. It's a play off the TED conferences, and generally I think it's a good idea (we may or may not have something up our sleeve that is in similar taste). Except, I'm annoyed because it is invite only. I'm annoyed because from what I can tell it costs $625 to attend (Last year was $825 after early bird deadline). I'm annoyed because only the "remarkable leaders†will be there. There is so many things that annoy me about this type of idea that I want to get out of conference organizing all together.
I was going to reply but I didn't have the time yet. I was on FriendFeed today and I saw this post by Fred Wilson and he did a really good job of articulating what I was thinking.
I don't go to TED and never have and don't think I ever will. I don't go to Demo or Techcrunch 50 or any of those kinds of events either.
I spent the weekend in Vegas with a bunch of people who go to the Lobby conference every year, including its organizer David Hornik. David was trying to convince me to come this year, but I told him the idea of a ten hour flight to Hawaii was not attractive to me. I suggested to David if he did it in a place where us east coasters could get to a bit easier, I might consider it.
Travel is a hassle. Its time consuming and gets in the way of doing other more productive things. I'll gladly travel to the west coast or europe to visit our portfolio companies and meet with new investment opportunities.
But the idea of travel to get together with the same old group, the tech biz insider club, doesn't appeal to me at all.
I do like attending events that happen in NYC, like I am doing tomorrow morning. I am speaking at Federated Media's Conversational Marketing Summit. I'll spend the morning there, get some networking in, and be back in my office for our monday meeting in the afternoon. That's how I like to do conferences, short, sweet, and easy. I think our industry places too much emphasis on conferences in an era where there are amazing tools to congregate online and find like minded people. I am not suggesting that face to face meetings aren't important, they are critical. But schmoozefests at fancy resorts aren't the kinds of face to face meetings I want to do.
And 'by invitation only' or high priced events are particularly bad in my mind. The most interesting people you can meet are the outsiders, the up and comers, and the hackers who can't afford to lay out $4000 to attend an event and are never going to get an invite to an event where you have to know somebody or "be somebody" to get in. So I avoid those most of all.
Back in the 90s, I was unknown to the powers that be and could not get into TED. I don't forget that and that's why I'll never go to it. I don't want to play that game. If I ever got an invite to Davos or Sun Valley, I'd have a really hard time saying yes. These power parties are not for me.
Update: Bill Kinnon ripped into Q back in 2007
My thoughts are similar to Fred Wilson's. I am not a big fan of most conferences. The travel is a pain when you live in Saskatoon (Saskatoon –> Winnipeg –> Toronto or even worse Saskatoon –> Calgary –> Winnipeg –> Toronto) and want to head east. It can be a pain in the butt and is a big chunk away from family that isn't always necessary. Wendy gave me tickets to Jared Diamond last year in Saskatoon. It was a fun evening but all he did was talk about Collapse which I guarantee you about 90% of the 1500 people in attendance had already read. While it was a fun escape and evening, I wouldn't have driven to hear that talk but in the past that is what I have gotten. 20 minute commercials for a recent book. I don't see Q as that much different and on top of that, whoever is behind it should be ashamed of ripping off TED that blatantly.
If you want me to come to your conference: give me speakers who aren't out to sell something, give me an affordable venue, make sure some friends are going to be there, and don't price it as a for profit event. If you have to pay people $20,000 to speak, I don't want to hear them. Give me Soularize, give me Cultivate Gathering, give me Evolving Church. Don't give me Q. I've already read the book and downloaded the videos off of the TED website.

A wheel of LeBrouere carried by the Dragon spacecraft was a toast to a Monty Python skit.In the historic launch of its Dragon space capsule Wednesday, Hawthorne-based rocket venture SpaceX didn't carry astronauts or cargo into orbit.
Miami (AFP) - The commercial space race got a little more crowded Tuesday when the aerospace company Blue Origin, headed by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, said it will begin launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida, later this decade.
Boeing Co. and Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp. will split as much as $6.8 billion in federal funding to help the U.S. resume manned missions and end its dependence on Russian rockets.
The contract to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station will pay a maximum of $4.2 billion to Boeing and $2.6 billion to closely held SpaceX, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said today. A third contender, Sierra Nevada Corp., was shut out.
Moscow (AFP) - Russia will try again in the coming hours to make contact with an unmanned cargo ship after communications were lost following the spacecraft's launch toward the International Space Station, NASA said Tuesday.
This week, NASA announced that Elon Musk's SpaceX will receive a $2.6 billion contract to develop the manned iteration of its Dragon capsule, the first version of which is already being used to resupply the International Space Station.
SpaceX, the Hawthorne-based rocket venture, has successfully reached orbit with its Dragon spacecraft, the company said.
The company's massive Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Caneveral, Fla. on Wednesday at 7:43 a.m. Approximatley 10 minutes later, the Apollo-like Dragon space capsule appeared to reach low Earth orbit.
SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft has successfully delivered cargo to the International Space Station three times since 2012. Now the private spaceflight company is about to unveil the next version of the Dragon ship, designed to ferry NASA astronauts to and from the space station.
On Monday at 12:45 am ET, SpaceX launched its ninth Dragon capsule into space, stuffed with 4,900 lbs of cargo and science experiments.
RAW Embed
The Dragon capsule is currently the only spacecraft able to bring supplies to and from the International Space Station (ISS).
Instead of landing its famed Falcon 9 rocket on a drone ship again, this time the company landed the rocket on the ground.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. _ SpaceX chalked up another big test flight Wednesday, firing a capsule into the air to try out its new, super-streamlined launch escape system for astronauts.
No humans were on board for this brief, first-of-its-kind flight and the whole thing lasted barely 1 1/2 minutes. A dummy was the only passenger.
The Dragon capsule shot off a test stand, not a rocket, and flew up and then out over the Atlantic. Rocket engines on the capsule provided the thrust. Red and white parachutes popped open and lowered the capsule into the ocean, just offshore.
Hawthorne-based SpaceX has received $25 million from NASA since successfully launching its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon space capsule last month.Hawthorne-based rocket venture Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
