According to an Ars Technica article with some hex snooping by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, it looks like any song you transfer from iTunes will be branded with your full name and email in addition to 360k of "mystery information."

Spooky.

Why is it that every newsbyte about the Phoenix Wright series begins with either "OBJECTION" or "TAKE THAT"? We get it. Ipso facto, those are Phoenix's catchphrases, but that doesn't give them carte blanche to impose an injunction on jurisprudence, vis-a-vie, STFU.

From an interview with Reuters:
"Hopefully content helps to deliver the proof points and the justification behind the cost of the machine."

When the CEO of Sony America wistfully imagines a world where developers and publishers create compelling software for his overpriced, luxury gamebox, you've got to do a double take.

Whenever I open Photoshop, I peripherally scan the splash image as the plugins and fonts and such are being loaded. When I scan, though, I always think I see a celebrity's name listed on the splash image credits and think, "I wonder what Kevin Costner, Scott Baio and Robin Williams contributed to Photoshop's development"

That's all. I just thought you should know.

One of the greatest elements of Mario Paint (besides the guys working out on the loading screens and the fly swatting mini game) was the incredibly accessible music tracker therein. The evidence of its mightiness is below:

Saw this gem on GameWallpapers and it immediately set off the klaxxon wail of the WTF alarm. Can someone give me a hint as to why new guy Niero has his hand in Dante's pocket as they move in to seal the deal? I dunno, but it makes me go a big rubbery one just thinking of all the ways Capcom can put these guys into a big sweaty, angry man-tussle.

Oh who'm I kidding. I just hope they don't have a dude-kissin' combo multiplier.

In an upsetting turn of events, Paducah county police have taken 14 year old Albie Barns into custody today after classmates informed authorities that he had been in possession of several hand-drawn maps. The maps, police said, were detail recreations of Orcish camps from the "Dungeons & Dragons" campaign for which Albie was the "Dungeon-Master". In the police report, however, the sheriff referred to Albie's role as "Devil Master" and the maps as terrorist training materials.

When asked to comment, anti-Video Game spokesman and highly regarded pantsniffer, miami lawyer Jack Thompson had only this to say:

"DnD? That's so 80's. Kids still play that? Do they have any money?"

There has been an outpouring of sentiment from the DnD community for young Albie, with many players refusing to roll their 20-sided die in support for the young Dungeon Master's plight, but it seems that for Albie, the only thing he'll be rolling is over in his cell, taking a magic missle from his cellmate.
