Most Hated Companies In America
| July 3, 2011
Business Insider has posted a list of the 19 Most Hated Companies In America. It’s a decent list but I have a feeling they are missing a few companies.

Game Characters Then and Now
| July 3, 2011
As a technology-based medium, game heroes and villains cannot remain the same. They must constantly evolve, or risk looking “last gen.” That doesn’t mean the new or old designs take precedence, it just means no developer will ever, ever leave its creation alone.

WCBS 2 reports, “The FBI says Noibi sat in the main cabin and when a flight attendant asked him to show his boarding pass, he produced the expired pass. Noibi was still allowed to get off the plane when it landed in Los Angeles.” Great! And how did Noibi get the pass.
