The Rise of the Video-Game Gambler Jun 24 2018 17:01:00	Slashdot
The Rise of the Video-Game Gambler Among the more insidious gifts that video games have bestowed on modern culture is the loot box. The New Yorker: A loot box is like an in-game lottery ticket: for a small fee, involving real money, a player can purchase an assortment of items that promise to enhance the game experience.

God of War’s violent world comes to life in these stunning art prints This year’s reboot of God of War on the PlayStation 4 was a wonderful surprise.

It also looked gorgeous, as the series made the shift from Greek to Norse mythology with plenty of style. Now that style can live on your walls thanks to a new series of art prints from Cook & Becker. If the Cook & Becker name sounds familiar, it’s be... Read the full article on The Verge - All Posts »

Censorship Machines are ‘Destroying The Internet’ As We Speak? This week the EU's controversial "upload filter" plans moved ahead. Opponents of the plans warn that this could "ban memes" and "destroy the Internet" as we know it. If that rhetoric is true, the Internet is actually already being destroyed right under our noses, with surprisingly little pushback.

How innovative design can help you capitalize when consumers ‘misuse’ your product Recently, my team and I helped a client brainstorm a new banking application for teenagers. But when we tested it on our target group, we quickly realized that the concept had a fundamental flaw. It seems that some teenagers nowadays share access to their devices by registering their friends’ fingerprints in their smartphone. For teenagers, allowing a friend access to their phone — their most personal and prized possession — is the highest form of trust. It’s like the 21st century mixtap...

'Snapdragon 1000' Chip May Be Designed For PCs From the Ground Up Qualcomm's Snapdragon 850 processor may be intended for PCs, but it's still a half step -- it's really a higher-clocked version of the same processor you'd find in your phone. The company may be more adventurous the next time, though. From a report: WinFuture says it has obtained details surrounding SDM1000 (possibly Snapdragon 1000), a previously hinted-at CPU that would be designed from the start for PCs. It would have a relatively huge design compared to most ARM designs (20mm x 15mm) and wou... Read the full article on Slashdot »
