Left 4 Dead 2? Super Mario Galaxy 2? Halo: Reach? Drop any bombshells like that a few weeks ago and you’d be subjected to the sound of silence. And laughter. Lots of laughter, lots of scoffs, and probably a few insults for good measure — until now. That’s the magic of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, […]

Google Wants to Knows Everything About You
And you know what? I don’t mind at all. With sites like Facebook and MySpace shining the light on our darkest secrets for the whole world wide web to see, it’s nice to have an opportunity to launch a counter-attack in the war for information control. Enter Google Profiles, an intriguing new feature tied directly […]
