'[title of show]': The organic evolution of a musical via the Web

NEW YORK: It's hard work thinking about "[title of show]." Most musicals unveil themselves and then just sit there, in polite stasis, while we consider at our leisure their meaning and worth. Not "[title of show]," which proclaims its meta nature with its very name. This spill of show business mercury by the composer-lyricist Jeff Bowen and the librettist Hunter Bell changes each time it shows up on the New York scene, which it has often done over the past four years.

Preview: Scene It? Box Office Smash

Microsoft is touting Box Office Smash, an update to last year’s efficient but lukewarm take on Sony’s Buzz! series, as the first retail game to use Xbox 360’s new avatars. So, from the flawed original’s slightly sterile appearance, which made little effort to embody its players other than through a paltry selection of emblems, players now take centre stage, their avatars occupying the four-seater sofa that’s on screen throughout and flamboyantly exhibiting their performance in the game.

Is open source hurt by piracy?

Sounds like what you are saying is for example, that the competition in the office suite space is Open Office Vs MS Office Vs pirated MS Office. Those willing to pirate see both Open Office and pirated MS office as "free" alternatives. If we stop piracy, then there is no longer a free MS Office alternative leading them to select Open Office instead.

Fulham shine brightly in the first half, but last season's bad habits surface once more, with a distinctly below par second half performance being punished by the Premier League new boys...

Let's hope this is not a case of here we go again. Fulham slipped back into their old ways of last season at the KC Stadium with a fine first half, backed up with a turgid second half performance, duly ending up costing Roy Hodgson's side dear.

E3 Continues Downward Spiral

Gamasutra is reporting that E3 is continuing its downward spiral due to forced downsizing of the show and limitations placed on attendees. While this year's show will be returning to the LA Convention Hall, the size of the show will still remain artificially small, which some are saying is stifling the spirit of the show. "These changes have in part been made to encourage the event as a more useful business event, but most of those interviewed in TheStreet.com article are critical of its continuing usefulness. 'E3 had much more of an impact when it was a show,' comments IGN.com vice president of games content Tal Blevins. 'The video game industry is about fun and entertainment, and we should have a show that reflects it.'"

Alone in the Dark may debut with budget price

PS3 Fanboy writes: "The long-delayed PS3 version of Alone in the Dark looks to be coming with enhancements ... and a price cut? A Gamestop listing shows Atari's survival horror game with a very nice price of $30. Of course, considering the overwhelmingly negative critical reviews it received when it debuted on Xbox 360, a lower price may still not justify a purchase."

Open Office vs. MS Office - the Other Key to Windows/Linux Transition

As I have been going around alternately prodding my friends and family to try Linux, or asking them if they thought it would be possible, one thing I have heard repeatedly is that a lot of people use Microsoft Office and are concerned about their Office documents on Linux. I should also mention that a lot of them are very angry that Microsoft has changed the default document format in Office 2007 (again), such that it is incompatible with previous Office versions. Yes, of course, I know there are converters and such, but it's just one more thing for users to have to worry about - and in general they aren't confronted with it, or sometimes even aware of it, until they send a critical document to a colleague and discover that the colleague can't open it.

Gamespot: E3 2008 Editors Choice Awards

The event known as E3 has gone through more than a few changes in recent years. Up until 2006, it was inarguably the single biggest, most important trade show and event in the entire game industry. This year, E3 returned to the hallowed halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center, but in a different way. The event itself no longer occupied the entire venue (restricting itself primarily to the central Concourse Hall), and it changed its name to the E3 08 Business and Media Summit. Still, there were plenty of very impressive games on hand, and GameSpot made sure to bring you live coverage every day of the show, both from our editorial writing team and from our live stage show, which broadcast demonstrations of the most exciting games at E3 2008--and exclusive demonstrations of a few other games that weren't at the show and couldn't be

Beijing blog / Perhaps it's time to cancel the Olympic Games

I lost around NIS 2,500 in revenue at the entrance to the Capital Stadium in Beijing. The set price for a ticket to the volleyball game was 80 RMB (Yuan), or about NIS 45. I bought the ticket from decent Australian tourism agent for about NIS 95. His Israeli counterpart at Issta Sport and other price gougers would have probably charged around NIS 500.
