Computer and Videogames laid out the challenge to find out what this mysterious game was going to be based on a few small shots.
Well it didn't take the guys at NeoGaf long to figure it out.
Goldeneye on the 360? Hell to the yes.

Too bad it was canned. To be honest though, the NPC models needed some work, especially since it's coming from a professional company. I'm all about gameplay > graphics but I don't want a last-gen game on my next-gen console unless it was going to be low-priced.
The pop legend, stricken by an MRSA-type bug, is desperate to revive his flagging career. Plans for a string of concerts have been rumoured for months but now they look closer than ever.
Jacko, 50, is in “advanced talks” with the O2 arena to stage the shows that would net him £5million each. A spokeswoman for his agents, the Outside Organisation, added: “It is only at discussion stage but if it comes off it will be amazing.”
Insiders said the shows — due for July — would be Jacko’s final attempt to be a global star again. The singer became a near-recluse after a damaging child-sex trial four years ago. He was cleared of all charges. A source said: “It’s his last chance to hit the jackpot so he can pay a large slice of his debts. Michael feels enough time has passed for the public to forgive the scandals.”
The Sun revealed earlier this month that Jacko was being treated for an MRSA-type infection. It means he would have to undergo a medical examination for insurance purposes in case he is forced to abandon any of the performances. Last November, Jacko was sued by the King of Bahrain’s son for £4.7million he lavished on the star to record albums and stage shows which never saw the light of day.

[quote]With the recent information surfacing that Microsoft is considering Webkit to be used in Internet Explorer, it got people wondering if Microsoft would really give up on their own rendering engine. Today, we received a tip that Microsoft was in fact giving up on their own rendering engine. Not just their engine though, but the whole Internet Explorer browser.
Our source notes that Internet Explorer 8, which just was said to have RTM'ed a few weeks ago will be the last Internet Explorer that Microsoft will ever make. Their new browser, which the name of which has not yet been released, will feature a fresh start. It is unclear whether or not it will use Webkit, or another rendering engine. What is clear though is that Microsoft is ready to drop their heavily used, and criticized browser for something that will be new and fresh.
On another note, our source stated that currently the successor to Windows 7, is slated to be named Windows 8, and Microsoft plans on using the numerical naming scheme from now on. Please take all of this with an extra grain of salt, since it is still very early in the planning period of Windows 8 (Windows 7 isn't even completed yet), and the Internet Explorer 8 team is just wrapping up their development.
Update: It seems like IE's successor has been confimed to be "Gazelle", a browser currently under development at Microsoft Research. It is said to be more secure than FireFox and Chrome; keeping plug-in's sandboxed within the browser, so it will not affect the PC if you stumble upon some malware.
Be sure to take all of this with a hefty serving of salt though. At this stage, anything is game.

Q. Any chance you might rock the Million Dollar Championship belt yourself someday?
A. I’ve thought about wearing it, not as a Championship, but as part of my wardrobe. If I do bring it back, it’ll definitely be new and improved. I’ve got some ideas that I’m not sharing at this point. But I think everyone will be impressed with the way its reintroduced.

Interesting read, and very interesting to see how the two companies operate.
Especially interesting (I thought), was Google's free meals to sneakily try to get people to work earlier. I don't think I'd have any major problems working for either of them, they both sound like cool companies.
A guy that used to work here has gone to work for MS as a tester, and he's already been asked to move to the USA, and he gets a Range Rover Sport as a company car. :o Apparently, you get paid a lump sum every time you get another certificate, like an MCSE. It's a four figure amount, too. :(

WWE Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting
Read the press release
[quote]
STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel.
However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriffs Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide:
1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions.
2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoits state of mind, and rightly did not do so.
3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.
4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.
5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts.
WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities.[/quote]

[quote=Source]The new designs have been chosen via an open competition which was widely publicised in the national media in August 2005 and attracted 4,000 entries. The winning designer is 26-year-old Matthew Dent, originally from Bangor who now lives and works in London as a graphic designer.
After exploring a number of different options, Matthew Dent finally developed the heraldic theme, taking the greatest heraldic device ever used on coinage the Royal Arms.
The New Coin Designs in FormationAs you can see in the image to the right, the Shield of the Royal Arms has been given a contemporary treatment and its whole has been cleverly split among all six denominations from the 1p to the 50p, with the 1 coin displaying the heraldic element in its entirety. This is the first time that a single design has been used across a range of United Kingdom coins.
The new designs will enter circulation gradually throughout the year. It is normal practice for banks to order coins from the Royal Mint to satisfy public demand, which fluctuates over the course of the year. The current coin designs will remain in circulation and as legal tender for the foreseeable future.
To mark this major numismatic milestone, the Royal Mint is offering a range of magnificent limited-edition collections produced to Proof quality. [/quote]

A BABY has been born with an exposed heart that grew outside its chest cavity. The infant is being treated in the intensive care unit of Shenzhen Children`s Hospital.
The parents knew about the condition before the baby was born, but chose not to abort it.
The development was caused by a rare disease - less than five per million are struck by it - that affects the chest and abdomen. Fewer than 200 cases have been documented and it is the first modern case in China. Most babies die from the disease before birth.
Doctors are expected to operate to repair the malformation when the infant is strong enough.

DNF Teaser Video coming tomorrow
Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.
After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming.
Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever.[/quote]
...and heres a teaser screenshot that in all honesty, isn't blowing me away :mad:
