President Obama Meets Future Robot Overlords in Japan

Rahul Sood Leaves HP

Sood says he is looking forward to being involved in a "product pipeline" again, so perhaps he has his mind set on a new company in which to create new products.

Microsoft Upgrades Games for Windows Live
Microsoft has given a brand new look to its Games for Windows Live service. Included in the redesign is a new look MSN games, a new feature known as Game Hub, and the release of the Games for Windows Marketplace. The Game Hub will tie users together using either their Windows Live ID or Facebook account. This will allow users to play games with friends, appearing to be similar to Steam. However, it appears to be for internet based games only, and will have 35 titles available at launch. The Games for Windows Marketplace is even more Steam-like and will allow users to buy electronic copies of games to be downloaded at their leisure. Activision will soon add its content to the service, and it could pose a challenge to Steam. As a kick off bonus, a different game will be on sale everyday. Grand Theft Auto IV is up first. Check out the forums to discuss the sales and see what is up next.
