As you know I’ve been studying internal martial arts (part-time) for a few years now. It’s obviously a passion of mine - or I wouldn’t have devoted so much time to them - and I’ve kind of explained bits of it to various people over the years.
So due to circumstances explained in the previous post [...]
Well after a few days reflection, that’s what I think of the infamous Australia/Italy game.
I was very cynical about our performance against Croatia and to a lesser extent Brazil. So the result itself wasn’t a surprise to me, despite the hype generated by late-to-the-bandwagon Australian media.

Sony Computer Entertainment MD Ray Macguire on GamesIndustry.biz.
“£425 is definitely not a mass market price, no,” Maguire admitted.

EMI’s copy protection does not work on the Mac. The shift key, as suggested by The Diving Swan, is not even required. What is required is fast hand and nerves of steel. I developed the following method over the last few days:
1. With iTunes closed, enter copy protected CD. iTunes will now start [...]
Having just purchased a CD version of “Solid Gold Hits”, I was dismayed to find out that EMI has made this CD “Copy Controlled”, so I cannot easily listen to this music - that I just paid for - on my iPod.
I’m annoyed for two reasons:
This is the first time some kind of [...]
You can take your nags galloping about a paddock while hatted tarts and suited goons totter in the mud. And I don’t need to tell you where to put your vestigial colony sports like “Ruggers” and “Cricket”.
Australia has made its mark on the world game. The game that unites dirty Favella kids in Sao [...]

XBOX 360 Details at GDCE
