Commented on: The Next Halo Game, what genre will it be?

Bungie showed this cool (but not too funny) video hinting the next Halo game.
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?artic...

But still there is no concreate info on what the game really is about. However, by looking at the video and its rendering, it looks like it is designed for a first/third person shooter.

Commented on: Will Cuil (search engine) be acquired in 2008?

Microsoft doesn't need another search engine. It's Live search engine might not be the best, but I don't see how Cuil technology is any better. AOL might find it more useful.

Commented on: Will Internet Pornography Harm or Benefit Our Society?

There are still a lot of articles online "explaining" the benefit of pornography:
http://ask.metafilter.com/94450/What-...

My conclusion is "out of sight, out of mind". If you don't watch it, you don't realize you need it. Go out and have some sports or healthy sex, then you don't need porn. But of course some might argue that healthy sex is hard to come by. I concur.

Commented on: Will there be any protests inside Olympic venues?

There are so many days to go. It is hard to say no. All it takes is one guy bringing out a banner and start "protesting". As long as he can make himself on the news, then mission accomplished..

Commented on: 2008 Olympics: Country with Most Medals?

I can see China getting a lot of medals this year. But look at China's past records, especially in track and field, then you should realize it is not that easy.

Commented on: Will Internet Pornography Harm or Benefit Our Society?

I found a few older articles on the web about how pornography can benefit us. It is very interesting, though I cannot say I agree:
"Pornography has its benefits"

"Pornography benefits women, both personally and politically"

Commented on: Canada: banning trans fat by 2009

I am surprised to hear KFC is getting rid of trans fat as well. Canada should do the same as well.

Commented on: Google acquires Digg before end of Aug 2008

Digg still has an ad deal with Microsoft. And I am sure they want to count Microsoft in the bidding game. So, it is still possible that Digg get acquired by Microsoft instead.

Commented on: Facebook supports OpenID in Q3 2008

As long as Facebook can keep its users loyalty, they can still afford not using open standard like OpenID. Right now, the benefit for Facebook to support OpenID is minimal. The benefit is more on the users' side.

Commented on: Will Microsoft make XBox Live Gold free in 2008?

So far, XBox gamers are still willing to pay for online multiplayer games. But things might change after the Sony PS3 Home service is finally go live. Initially, there will be a price reduction. But Microsoft won't make the service completely free in 2008.

Commented on: Would Trevor Linden's number be retired? Is so, when?

Linden had shown great leadership in Canucks for years. Too bad he couldn't bring home a Stanley Cup.
