Grand Theft Audio: The Art of Game Music Rip-Offs
Video game music has com a long ways from the days of the boops and beeps of the Atari 2600 and its venerable microprocessing brethren. A few clever programmers were able to wring the most they could with melodies out of the machines, but plenty of games relegated their audio to just mere sound effects. In those days, dinosaurs still roamed the earth and many a pasty, pimple-faced caveman would listen to the crickets in two-part harmony with the sounds of centipedes being blasted away. But ...

Facebook Timeline: love it or hate it?
Rumors are floating that Facebook's newish Timeline layout, which has been optional for users, will now become a permanent and mandatory change within the next few weeks. I personally can't stand the Timeline layout because it's too confusing and cluttered to look at. Remember when Facebook was praised for its simplicity? They keep fussing with the site every time their users start ...

Is Web Design Getting Lazy?
Remember how web design was circa 2001? Me neither. A decade is a lifetime, at least when it comes to technology, and the days of Drupal, Joomla, MODx, and similarly complicated web designing applications are well over. WordPress, Blogger, and assorted other What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editors have replaced the need to learn code--even basic HTML--for an individual or business seeking to create and maintain a site. Adobe Muse is a web editor that actually markets itself on the ...

President Obama Lets NASA’s Shuttle Program Die, Gambles with the Fate of Mankind
This past Monday, the Space Shuttle Endeavour took its final journey into space. When Atlantis blasts off in June, it will signal the end of NASA's shuttle program...and possibly the end of the human species. Why does the shuttle program matter? Because if we abandon our progress in developing manned spaceflight, we will never be able to escape Earth in case of an emergency. Can we blame President Obama for this? Of course we can. But is he the only one to blame? Yeah, pretty much. For our ...

L.A. Noire: A Movie-Like Game About Movies
Rockstar Games' latest sure-to-be blockbuster, L.A. Noire, released this week on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to the customary fanfare. It steps to the forefront of two gaming debates: one that's been brewing for years and another that's fairly new. And for a change, the big discussion regarding the game isn't about violence. (Well, it probably is at Fox News, but their video game coverage has me convinced most of their staff is still playing Pitfall on the Atari 2600.) ...
