This time out, you can lead your gun-toting character towards a variety of different life paths, including a serial killer, an activist gone eco-terrorist, and, most vile of all, a presidential candidate. A wide array of celebrity performances are used to bring the sick and crazy game to life, while the Source engine provides the power behind the game’s social satire and politically incorrect virtual violence.

Exclusive Heads up: A few months ago, I asked Skype CEO Josh Silverman when was he going to launch the iPhone version of the P2P voice and IM service that has now been downloaded more than 405 million times. He smiled and said, “Stay tuned.” And so we did. A tipster — a very reliable one — tells me that Skype is almost ready to launch that iPhone version, perhaps as soon as next week. CTIA Wireless, a large mobile industry trade event, kicks off in Las Vegas next Wednesday, so perhaps the announcement will be made there. I am working on getting more details, as well as screenshots of the service. The biggest clue about Skype’s pending iPhone launch came when iSkoot decided to move on from its Skype-centric strategy. The company had been offering a client that allowed cell phone users to use Skype services. Skype already offers a Windows Mobile version of its client.

Alex Kochis, director of Microsoft’s Genuine Windows team, has announced that its counterfeit software detection tool – Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) – will be updated this week. The latest version of WGA, to be deployed to customers via Windows Update, is designed to be easier to install and customers running the latest existing release won’t be required to repeat the install process again. Armed with the ability to detect the latest batch of stolen product keys or other attempts at illegally avoiding activation, the updated WGA will focus its attention on illegitimate installations of Windows XP Professional – the most counterfeited edition of Windows, says Microsoft.

NVIDIA has filed a countersuit against Intel for breach of contract. The legal action is related to a chipset license agreement with Intel, the latter party claims the five-year old agreement doesn’t extend to processors with integrated memory controllers like the Core i7 series, but NVIDIA begs to differ. An interesting snippet of NVIDIA’s statement is that the GPU giant also seeks to terminate Intel’s license to NVIDIA’s patent portfolio. “NVIDIA did not initiate this legal dispute,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. “But we must defend ourselves and the rights we negotiated for when we provided Intel access to our valuable patents. Intel’s actions are intended to block us from making use of the very license rights that they agreed to provide.”

Skype is now the largest provider of international phone calls in the world. That’s according to telecom research firm Telegeography, which estimates that Skype’s cross-border traffic shot up to 33 billion minutes in 2008, up more than 40% from the year before. That includes about 25 million minutes of free “Skype-to-Skype” traffic that travels only through internet pipes and doesn’t even go over the traditional telephone network. A little over 8 billion minutes are paid “Skype Out” calls that go from a user’s computer to traditional telephones. “Skype’s traffic growth has been remarkable,” said TeleGeography analyst Stephan Beckert. “Only five years after its launch, Skype has emerged as the largest provider of cross-border voice communications in the world.”

Music and movies can be streamed over the Internet, so why not video games? A startup founded by technology entrepreneur Steve Perlman says it has developed a technology to deliver video games on demand, an idea that threatens to eventually take consoles out of the equation. OnLive Inc., Perlman’s Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, planned to unveil its technology Tuesday night at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Seven years in the works, OnLive says it has developed a way to stream video games without any lag that humans can notice. So the instant you press a button to shoot something on the screen, the gun goes off. This has not been possible before, because unlike with music and movies, which can be compressed – or put into smaller files that are more easily transferred online – before being streamed, video games are interactive and require instant responses. That has meant video games needed to be played on consoles packed with computing power, like the Xbox or the PlayStation, or downloaded to personal computers that could process some of the data that enabled games to run. OnLive’s technology gets around that limitation with a new form of compression that lets its game servers communicate with players over broadband connections in real time. This also means OnLive’s service can work on older computers, even those without a graphics processing unit that has until now been an essential component of gaming. Through a “MicroConsole” about the size of a cassette tape, OnLive’s service will also be available for television sets.

The ‘it’ social networking tool of the hour streamlines your humiliation
By Helen A.S. Popkin, March. 23, 2009
Why waste valuable social networking hours getting yourself “Facebook fired,” when Twitter allows you to humiliate yourself quickly, and in 140 characters or less? A recent tweet by one would-be Cisco employee proves that when it comes to placing a permanent black mark on your resume via the Internet, Twitter is now the tool of choice. To illustrate, here’s the tweet the now Web-infamous “theconnor” shared with the world: “Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.” It wasn’t long before Tim Levad, a “channel partner advocate” for Cisco Alert, shared this open response: “Who is the hiring manager. I’m sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.” Was “theconnor’s” job offer rescinded? Nosy netizens have yet to suss that out — but they’re doing their darndest to make “theconnor’s” life miserable in the meantime. It didn’t matter that “theconnor” almost immediately set his Twitter account to private and deleted all information from a home page. It was already too late.
