Minecraft Sells 500K Copies in Japan on PlayStation Platforms
Microsoft hit a home run when it recently purchased Mojang, developer of Minecraft. One of the world's most popular games has now grown even more popular with its sales on the PlayStation Network of over 500K in Japan.
This sales are surprising, as console game sales have tapered off as Japanese consumers take to mobile over boxes and handhelds from Nintendo and Sony. Minecraft would be the No. 9 game on the 2014 sales charts if its PS iterations counted as one game.

Revenge Porn Could Soon Become a Federal Crime in the US
With the notoriety from a publicized trial, the UK making revenge porn a federal crime and 16 states already with laws on their books, it was only a matter of time (and about time) that the Federal government address the issue of revenge porn and enact laws accordingly.
We already punish the unauthorized disclosure of private information like medical records and financial identifiers, why should personal images of one's naked body, given in confidence, be any different?

Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Review
If you are building a new system and you want to keep noise and cost to a minimum, the crew at Vortez says you will love the Corsair Carbide 100R Silent.
The Carbide Series 100R is a low-cost, entry level computer case which comes in two different versions – standard and silent. The standard version comes with a side window, fan mounts at the top and just one cooling fan whilst the silent version uses closed panels, comes with an additional fan, fan controller and noise reduction material. This case hopes to deliver on styling, features and cost but will it win our seal of approval today?

Vandalism Shut Down Internet, Cellphone, Telephone Service Across Arizona
Can someone please explain to me how you can leave a fiber optic cable exposed so that vandals can just walk right up to it and cut it with a hacksaw?
"There was a vandalism that took place on a fiber optic cable that basically runs from Phoenix to Northern Arizona," said Alex Juarez, a spokesman for CenturyLink in Arizona. The line, which is composed of extremely thick cable, appeared to have been cut with a hacksaw, according to Juarez. Phoenix police are currently investigating the incident and say they have yet to determine a motivation for the crime.

8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games
While giving a lecture at New York University, Anita Sarkeesian outlined the 8 things she wants changed in video games. Hey, I have an idea! Maybe Sarkeesian can use the hundreds of thousands of dollars people have donated to her to fund her own game studio or maybe back other female developers instead of just constantly complaining.
Avoid the Smurfette principle (don't have just one female character in an ensemble cast, let alone one whose personality is more or less "girl" or "woman.")
"Lingerie is not armor" (Dress female characters as something other than sex objects.)
Have female characters of various body types
Don't over-emphasize female characters' rear ends, not any more than you would the average male character's.
Include more female characters of color.
Animate female characters to move the way normal women, soldiers or athletes would move.
Record female character voiceover so that pain sounds painful, not orgasmic
Include female enemies, but don't sexualize those enemies

Lasers Could Boost Engine Efficiency By 27%
Because lasers make everything better.
Lasers can fix this problem by igniting the fuel in the middle of the combustion chamber instead of at the outer edge. This results in a much more complete burn, so you get more bang for your buck, literally. Also, lasers can be fired with nanosecond timing (multiple times per combustion cycle if necessary), and even targeted at different areas of the combustion chamber.
