Per Short Circuit
And yes, if you go to the Firehose you'll see this Journal there.
I can't even begin to fathom the thought process behind this "behavior change".

That's not a bug, but a behavior change. Journal entries without a
checkbox are sent to the firehose, but come in at a lower score.

FofR writes "Given the previous statements concerning the Halo Movie's stalled progress, it should come as no surprise that the movie is now officially on hold." From the article: "At this time Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, along with their partner, Microsoft, have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video game universe until we can fulfill the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen. We are fully supportive of Director Neill Blomkamp's vision of the film. Neill is a tremendously gifted filmmaker and his preliminary work on Halo is truly awe-inspiring. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the wait." You'll be happy to know even if a Jackson-inspired Halo isn't coming our way, at least we can look forward to another Street Fighter movie.

An anonymous reader writes "A Google spokesman has asked Microsoft to 'preserve user choice for search and other applications' with its future products, such as Vista. The spokesman made this comment after meeting with European Union antitrust regulators, though he added that at this point, the company has no plans to make antitrust allegations against Redmond. Notably, McAfee and Symantec have accused Microsoft of not being forthcoming with the code they need to ensure their security wares run smoothly on Vista, and the EU has already expressed concern about Microsoft's potentially anticompetitive plans."

An anonymous reader writes: According to Cnet, a company called Benefon has launched a cell phone with a built in GPS receiver — nothing new there. However, this particular GPS cell phone called the Twig does something extra. It can send your GPS coordinates to another Twig owner and then that person can navigate directly to you using the preloaded navigation software.
Is it just me or would this save a lot of time and effort when trying to explain to the in-laws where your new apartment is?

In a battle of wits, it helps to be smarter than the next guy. Reported hereatThe Register, based on the forum exchange found here. I won't spoil the ending for you, it is something you just have to read for yourself."

Some of the codecs let users play types of net-based video, but also have spyware and adware wrapped inside. Others, say experts, are outright fakes that just want to infect victims with data-stealing programs.' Now virtual sex can make your computer sick.

●Mr Whiskers and Ms. Tabby had served in the Queen's Cats, and knew all about Mr. Brownmouse. They went to the relative security of the parlour, and spoke of the matter in dragon-language, which Mr. Brownmouse had never been able to master. ("Too many sparkles," he'd mutter, when he overheard snippets of it.)
Then Mr. Whiskers headed downtown to Catland Yard, and Ms. Tabby and the dragon had a cheerful talk about the merits of bells on toys. They also discussed Mr. brownmouse's rodent mafia connections, which Ms. Tabby was surprised to find that the dragon knew all about. When Mr. Whiskers got home, they compared notes again, and then took a liesurely nap on a pillow in the parlour.
