[APRICOT] Incredible demo of new free game with Blender

Just one and a half weeks since we started using the bge, and the progress has been insane. Theres way too much for one post.

Torrentspy won’t pay $111m "Hollywood publicity stunt" court order

But how much does Hollywood owe Torrentspy for increased DVD sales - due to the try before you buy mentality of the US consumer? . In the US, BRAND SPANKING NEW DVDs cost $19 on average. A sandwich, chips and a drink costs about that at most…

Blu-ray Hits Bumps in the Road to HD Market Dominance

Blu-ray player sales dropped 40 percent earlier this year and do not seem to have recovered yet. Aside from soaring PlayStation 3 sales, Blu-ray is struggling to take advantage of HD DVDs demise.

Lenovo has some funny-ha-ha times at MacBook Air’s expense

A German company has introduced a disposable DVD that can be viewed for 48 hours, then thrown away.

So, it's about the same price as a new video rental in Europe - and it used to be about the same price as in the US, before the Mighty Dollar shrank into the Pygmy Dollar. But there are no late fees and no need to pop the disk in the post…

SlySoft on Blu-ray BD+ crack: next time it will be easier

Blu-ray's BD+ was supposed to take “10 years” to crack, but it didn't take 10 months. Yet, even though the scheme can be dynamically updated, SlySoft is extremely confident that they'll crack whatever the BDA sends our way. (Updated.)

SlySoft originally announced that it had defeated BD+ this past November, with a beta of AnyDVD HD able to bypass BD+ on some Blu-ray titles. At the time, the company said that full support would come by year end, but it turns out…
