Chris Pirillo has found a method for upgrading to Vista from XP without activation. It’s a seamless upgrade in the System folder and has been confirmed by Microsoft. Hurry, before they close the loophole.
The boys are reporting from CTIA that Verizon just announced they’re purchasing AT&T for $25 billion. The news came during the joint Verizon/AT&T luncheon at Piero’s (great pesto) and it means that the flagging CDMA company will now have a GSM presence internationally. The first phone on the new VerizonGSM branded network: the iPhone. More news as we have it.
While rumors swirl about an EA/Take-Two takeover, the company’s programmers are quietly working on a new MMORPG based on William Stryon’s book Sophie’s Choice. Set in post-war Brooklyn, the MMOPRG will introduce a new “moral” game engine that encourages nuanced thought and reactions to real-life scenarios. While you can never play as Sophie or Stingo, you can interact with their characters. The game will not touch upon the more controversial aspects of the book and movie but should instead focus on the lifestyles and mores of an era shattered by war and riddled with moral ambiguity. Jack Johnson will be supplying some of the soundtrack and Meryl Streep is slated to do some introductory voiceover work. More info as we get it.
I can’t say much about this right now but you will be amazed and trust me, it’s not what you think. Ben has one as well.
