(Remember when I said someone on Twitter had said a Superman game couldn't be done? And I wrote about it? The person who got me, thinking, Julian of http://www.gamepad-dojo.com/, volunteered to contribute his insights on the idea of a came, and the fundamental flaws such a game would have)
Geek Alert: Epsilon Security Breach
If you haven't heard, the world's largest email marketing provider, Epsilon had a massive security breach. There's a good chance that if you've participated in the US (or world) economy some of your data ended up at Epsilon. This is pretty big.
A few takeaways:
- This is an example of how much gets outsourced.
- This is an example of how outsourced services can produce a critical point of failure.
- You want to keep up on this in case.
When Caution Backfires
If you visited this blog for any time, you know I'm often miffed about the spate of movies and other properties being recycled. Okay if you even remotely heard of this blog you've probably telepathically picked up my bad attitude. Let me be honest here, we do not need another “Mr. Mom” movie. One was enough, thank you, and Michael Keaton was awesome in it.
Yet, as we have seen me rant on in our news analyses, there are plenty of remakes coming. No, I don't know why there's a new Spiderman film, unless the goal is to make Tobey Maguire cry. I don't know why someone wants to a Daredevil movie, but, oh well. Don't even get me started on the remake of Doom.
