i was actually more intrigued by the method. stupidity never amases me these days.
Diablo 3 still doesn’t have a release date, but the highly-anticipated action RPG from Blizzard is now in beta, and details are starting to come out.
•Diablo 3 will require players to stay connected to Battle.net at all times, not just for authentication.
•Consequently, bots and mods — which were extremely popular in Diablo 2 — have been expressly banned in Diablo 3. Kind of a bummer for single-player campaigners.
•The skill system and item crafting have been totally reworked for more adventure and fewer trips back to town.
•Speaking of items: Diablo 3 will have two separate auction houses. One lets you buy equipment with in-game gold, and one lets you spend real currency. Blizzard won’t be selling items directly, but it will charge a flat fee for players to auction their gear.
That’s all on top of the previously-announced new classes, including the Witch Doctor, Monk, Wizard and Demon Hunter.
In March, it reported a net loss of $218.3m in 2010 - about eight per cent lower than the previous year.
Hard working taskmaster Terry Gou is sure to please Foxconn investors in its latest earnings report.
Despite inconveniences like having to pay workers a slightly larger pittance, and provide them with better working conditions, Foxconn has announced a 53 percent rise in consolidated revenues for 2010.
Figures for the year topped NT$2.99 trillion for 2010, up from NT$77.15 billion.
Net income also went up by 1.9 percent to NT$77.1 billion for the year, while
the company’s gross profit for the twelve months increased by 58.5 percent to NT$100.9 billion from NT$63.6 billion in 2009.
The company also did well when it came to its earnings per share, with a total of NT$2.22 for the fourth quarter of 2010. This was despite the average gross margin for the quarter dropping 0.1 percent to 7.9 percent.
Foxconn described the year as uncertain and "challenging". It however said that despite the general uncertainty the "results were as expected and remain seasonal."
It also confirmed several new investments in China. According to the Taiwan Economic Daily this includes an interest in investing in solar cell manufacturer Neo Solar Power .
Silicon Valley billionaire funding creation of artificial libertarian islands
Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters, according to a profile of the billionaire in Details magazine.
Thiel has been a big backer of the Seasteading Institute, which seeks to build sovereign nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties. The idea is for these countries to start from scratch--free from the laws, regulations, and moral codes of any existing place. Details says the experiment would be "a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."
"There are quite a lot of people who think it's not possible," Thiel said at a Seasteading Institute Conference in 2009, according to Details. (His first donation was in 2008, for $500,000.) "That's a good thing. We don't need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late."
The Seasteading Institute's Patri Friedman says the group plans to launch an office park off the San Francisco coast next year, with the first full-time settlements following seven years later.
Thiel made news earlier this year for putting a portion of his $1.5 billion fortune into an initiative to encourage entrepreneurs to skip college.
Another Silicon Valley titan, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced in June that he would be funding the "Clock of the Long Now." The clock is designed to keep ticking for 10,000 years, and will be built in a mountain in west Texas. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...140840896.html
