Final Fantasy is gone, is the PS3 dead in the water?

Microsoft fired off the shot heard round the world today at their E3 press conference when it was announced that the long time Sony exclusive Final Fantasy franchise would be making its way to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. The chaos that ensued from the ’Final Fantasy Exclusivity Crisis’ was evident across hundreds of gaming message boards. Square-Enix was branded a turncoat and sell out. ’FailStation’ doomsday proclamations were made. Hundreds of angry fanboys frantically scrawled out flames and flinged insults. This is a defining day in the 7th generation console war, there is absolutely no way denying this. However, is it possible that this announcement and its effect on the PS3 could be over exaggerated? Is Sony dead in the water, and the PS3 rendered a $400 paper weight, as some have said?

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII going "international" in Japan

Three years after it came out in Japan, Square Enix will release Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII International as a value priced Ultimate Hits game on September 4. Don't get envious yet. Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII International is in actuality just the North America version of Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII.

Mendis takes centrestage in final

Two days ago Sri Lanka had an opportunity to knock India - a more dangerous side than Pakistan - out of the competition, but they reduced their chances of winning by resting Chaminda Vaas and Ajantha Mendis. The move was obviously to keep Vaas fresh, and to prevent the Indians from getting first-hand experience of Mendis in case India made it to the final. As it turned out, India chased down 309 to progress to the title clash, ensuring that Sri Lanka go into the final having lost their last match, and that too to the eventual finalists.

Jenova to return in Final Fantasy XIII? (Final Fantasy Versus XIII)

On the site is an image of an "unidentified being" released by Square Enix to play a part in the upcoming game Final Fantasy XIII. Unlike the "Prince" from Versus and "Lightning" from XIII, this image has so far given everyone nothing but grief in uncovering its purpose or identity.

.06% opt out: NebuAd hides link in 5,000-word privacy policy

The ISPs that use NebuAd's boxes routinely argue that they provide robust notification to customers before deploying the gear, and that any customer not thrilled about having her browsing data routed through a third-party ad-serving box can opt out with just a single click.

Well, now we know: only 15 of 26,000 people opt out.

Claiming tax-exempt status

As a manager, I hold orientations for new employees that include filling out the W-4 form. Most of my employees are teenagers and never know how to fill it out. I know that I should not advise them on how to fill it out so I have them call their parents. All I know that I can tell them is that they would either put zero in allowances taken out or exempt on line 7. Different parents give them different directions.

iPhone apps help your friends find you

The iPhone's Maps app and Google Maps on the Web are great tools for figuring out how to get somewhere, but only if you know the precise--or at least rough--location of your destination.

Solving that problem is the goal of a slew of new apps for the iPhone.
