The Decline of Steam Greenlight
Gamasutra has an interesting article posted today on the decline of Steam Greenlight. What are your thoughts?
There is no doubt popularity of Greenlight has been falling as gamers grow increasingly tired of plowing through many mediocre or prototypical products without a real incentive or reward. However, what surprised me, was the worrying rate at which the decline seems to be occurring.

97-Year-Old Tech Fan Gets Her Wish To Visit Google
Damn, old people get to have all the fun.
At 97, most of us would probably want to sit back and reflect on the past. But Olive Horrell only wants to look toward the future. The great grandmother grew up without electricity or radio, when the regular mode of transportation was a horse and buggy.

Payday 2's Microtransaction Nightmare Just Got Worse
Why are so many game companies implementing microtransactions despite the massive negative feedback from their fan base?
If you haven't been following this story, here's the quick version: Payday 2's developers once declared the game would never get microtranscations. Then, it did! For $2.50, players could buy drills to potentially unlock specially skinned weapons that could also have better stats than standard weapon drops. Though Payday 2 is not a competitive game—it's players vs. AI—it felt unfair, especially juxtaposed against the comments made by the developers.

Gigabyte X99-SLI Motherboard Review
Real Hardware Reviews has a review of the Gigabyte X99-SLI motherboard posted today. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.
Great overclocking potential, great included features, great layout - the GA-X99-SLI has it all. The only thing that is missing is USB 3.1 support and that is not that big a deal considering you get quad SLI abilities.

Dear Microsoft: Please Stop Breaking My Perfectly Good Windows 7
Oh come on, breaking your old OS to get you to upgrade to a new OS seems like a great strategy.
How can vendors expect to migrate reluctant users to more reliable and up-to-date operating systems like Windows 10 or El Capitan -- especially when upgrade notices and reminders break earlier versions?

'Steve Jobs' Movie Bombs
Are any of you really wondering why the latest Steve Jobs movie bombed? It has nothing to do with reviews, director or the acting, it's the fact that there have been several terrible movies like this already. I bet it will do great on rental.
After racking up the year's best per-screen average in its opening weekend and doing strong business in limited expansion, "Steve Jobs" hit a stumbling block in its national release. It debuted to a measly $7.3 million, only a little more than the $6.7 million that "Jobs," a critically derided film about the iPhone father with Ashton Kutcher, made in its initial weekend. Going into the weekend, some tracking suggested that the picture would do as much as $19 million.

Jim Keller To Join Samsung As Chief Architect Claims Source
According to the rumor mill, Jim Keller has reportedly joined Samsung as chief architect after leaving AMD just over a month ago. I'm not sure what kind of arrangement Mr. Keller had with AMD, or if he had a non-compete clause, but this seems awful soon for him to be joining another company.
Keller will be joining Samsung's R&D centers in Austin, Texas as chief architect and will undoubtedly help the company further improve its mobile hardware offerings. After all, even though Samsung managed to gain quite a lead for itself with the debut of the 14nm FinFET for mobile processors, its competitors including TSMC are eager to catch up and are quickly developing their responses as well.

Don't Pour Liquid Bromine On An iPhone 6S!
This isn't your normal "destroy an iPhone in stupid ways" video, even though that is what it is supposed to be. After watching this painfully awkward video, I ended up being rather impressed with the iPhone 6S durability, all things considered.

New York Probes Broadband Speeds
Don't most ISPs get around this by using wording like "speeds up to" or some such? I know my ISP says "speeds up to 300Mbps" and I normally get 225 - 250Mbps on any given day.
The New York attorney general is probing whether three major Internet providers could be short-changing consumers by charging them for faster broadband speeds and failing to deliver the speeds being advertised, according to documents seen by Reuters.
