LSD Father Hoffman Leaves Behind Inspirations for Technology

The illegitimate use of LSD is hopelessly intertwined with creativity and the invention. Where would music of the 1960s have been without it? Its inspiration has given us everything from lava lamps to multi-track audio recordings and countless developments in technology ever since.

Grand Theft Auto IV Midnight Madness

Line for GTA IVYou could feel the buzz over Grand Theft Auto IV last night when it was finally unleashed onto the streets. Stores across North America opened at midnight to sell the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. I visited a local GTA IV Midnight Madness event, curious about the kinds of people who would attend the launch of such a cynical video game…and to be first on my block to recreate the immigration of Nico to America.

It’s no secret that piracy and fake products out of China is a real problem for large companies with a brand to sell. The country that makes most of the world’s stuff can also make clever replicas of all that stuff. What are businesses doing about it?

Don't you guys know anything? The xbox live service is peer to peer based. It cannot compete with PSN. There is a reason that Halo 3 could only have 16 simultaneous players - 16 that is it! Pathetic. Warhawk plays beautifully with 32 simulatneous players and Resistance is insane with 40! And Resistance 2 is going to 60 simultaneous players - freaking crazy!!!!! You shouldn't comment on topics you are not fully educated on. Xbox live is a severly limited and a poorly structured service as opposed to the newer and better designed PSN!

lol this is just a xbox fanboy article, truth is the ps3 is just getting started and the 360 is almost dead. Ps2 will most likely out live the 360 and the xbox fanbabys will be able to say their xbox3 is better than ps3 while ignoring all the obvious signs of microsoft milking money from them and lying constantly.

Yeah I have to agree Xbox live sucks. It is not worth $50 and Sony is starting to eat Microsoft alive this year. Gotta give credit where credit is due, Sony has out manuvered Microsoft on this one!
ME said on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 War of Words:
Well true the PS3 has been brought into this generation in a flaming baptism of high prices and few and limited genre games. But i must say that it has done rather well and the fact that it sell's in japan could tip the global hardware sales in it's favour. Microsoft was gloating last week that 60% of gta4 sales where on the 360 and that would appears a good result at first but considering the 360 has sold 6 million more consoles then sony i would be starting to get worried as PS3 owners are notoriously brand loyal I think the 360's best selling point right now is it's much lower price point not it's live service. People are much more concious of their pockets then the fluency and standard of their multiplayer network. *Please excuse any bad spelling ME just trying to give a nuetral position.
