Slashdot is discussing an article at Joystiq about UGC and IP rights which comes from a GamePolitics news item of a few days ago about the update to the PSN TOU around UGC — specifically because of LittleBigPlanet. The bottom line, amidst all that linkage? Sony is taking a fairly traditional approach to IP rights, from a networked game sense: Sony can use user content without restriction to advertise. They can also ‘commercially exploit’ your ...

If you are currently in the market for a new laptop, have you ever considered buying refurbished/recertified? Keep in mind that refurbished/recertified laptops were either returned, overstocked, defective or functioned as demos before heading back to the ...

Some of this is interesting, though I guess the primary reason why Ford thinks it is cool is because an American car company is working on it, rather than all the foreign car makers who figured this stuff out 10 years ago, granted, only (as far as I have heard) on fancy cars.I am not convinced the limiting the volume to 44% is all that useful of an idea for kids. I do think the muting the stereo until you fasten your seat belt is interesting.
