Congress Asks HP for Information

Monday, September 11th, 2006

This request came as a part of the continuing look into ‘pretexting’ by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee. From the article: ‘The Federal Communications Commission has also taken interest in HP, asking AT&T Inc. last week how the company’s private investigators managed to obtain the private phone records of board members and journalists. Following the investigation, board member George Keyworth II was identified as the source of the leak, and HP responded by barring him from seeking re-election.’”

Grok Half-Life 2: E2’s five gameplay demos

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Filed under: , ,

Having trouble getting used to Valve’s eight-month episodic cycle? We can sympathize, we keep dreaming of Alyx also (don’t worry, our shrink says this is totally normal).

So we’re only … uh, four and a half months away from Half-Life 2: Episode 2’s planned February 2007 release date and it’s still not getting any easier. But Valve, empathic as they are, felt our pain last week and added the five gameplay demos they were showing off at the Leipzig Games Convention to Steam so we can download and enjoy them in lovely high-def. Don’t want to bother with all that? We’ve also added all five in blocky embed-o-vision after the break.
