Robots Getting Married In Japan
If you think this is freaky, wait until the video of the honeymoon surfaces.


Each attendee paid about $81 to witness the momentous occasion and received special invitations featuring the couple in a heart. The groom was Frois, a boxy red and silver robot that wore a bow tie. The wedding dress-donning bride was Yukirin, a humanoid fashioned in the likeness of Japanese pop star Yuki Kashiwagi. Possibly for copyright reasons, Yukirin was called "Roborin" at the wedding.

Hatred DLC And Sequel In The Works
During an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Company, Przemyslaw Szczepaniak of Destructive Creations said that DLC for Hatred is coming soon, a sequel is planned and another game is in the works.

What next for Destructive Creations? Updates or expansion packs for Hatred? A sequel? Or something new? Is there a future for twin-stick shooters (and controversial games)?

Yes, we plan some updates with new features soon, and a DLC in Autumn I believe. For the sequel I wouldn't like to spoil yet - there is an idea, but we won't tell much yet. There will be also a new game coming, but it will be different from what you saw in Hatred.

This revelation comes as Microsoft drip feeds nuggets of information ahead of Windows 10's July 29th release and it is sure to spark anger and frustration as awareness grows. In a nutshell all upgraders to Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro (whether free or paid) will be forced to install every feature, patch and fix Microsoft throws at them or have their security updates cut off.

Survey Respondents Say 'Yes' To Windows 10
Is it just me, or does it seem like this guy is mad about the survey results. I got $5 that says this article was written on a Mac.

A whopping 73 percent of the respondents polled stated that they plan to adopt Windows 10 within two years of its launch. The numbers surprise me because neither Windows 7 nor Windows 8 had such high adoption rates. The fact that so many IT shops, including a large number of government units, still use Windows XP gives me the feeling that the numbers seem high.

Wants to "clear his name?" As if the one hacking conviction is the only thing sullying his otherwise good name.

Last week Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm lost his appeal against his hacking conviction in Denmark. With an August release potentially on the horizon but an unexpected situation still to be resolved in Sweden, Gottfrid is longing to get in front of a computer and back into the world of IT.
