Update: With much sadness, Glitch was shut down. Most of the resources from the game are now available under an open source license. You may not have heard of it yet, but Glitch is beginning to turn into an interesting platform-based MMORPG with enough content to pull people away from Runescape and enough cute to drag the middle-aged folk away from farmville.…
OK, so, first of all you need to realize that I LOVE Eufloria. It’s pretty much my all-time, no-holes-barred, favorite casual game, ever. It’s simple to learn to play, the music and effects are relaxing and the problem solving skills needed to solve the levels are just complex enough to be interesting, but not make you tired of playing.

Microsoft has been fined billions over browser choice (or lack thereof) in Windows, and the solution that finally satisfied EU regulators was a browser choice screen, which would let users choose a web browser rather then having Internet Explorer installed as the…
A recent PCworld story, suggests in a measure to prevent hardware modding (which does have fair use purposes as well, such as making backups of content) they have banned up to a million Xbox 360 consoles from the Xbox LIVE service, and may have rendered the machines mainly unusable. DailyTech’s sources claim the ban blocks game installations to the hard drive and…
