Some gamers plan to be ‘Halo’ sick
By John Kiesewetter, The Cincinnati Enquirer
For Microsoft Xbox 360 owners, Tuesday is Opening Day — the time to skip school, call in sick or take a vacation day for the big game.

Halo 3.

The much-anticipated third and final edition in the Halo video game trilogy — about a super-human soldier, Master Chief, fighting against alien races and parasites — will be released at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

OpenID Pro’s and Con’s

PaulSeptember 25, 2007

Decentralized online identification system OpenID can log you into thousands of social networking sites (and counting) using a single username and password. OpenID asserts who you are by proving you own a URL—not an email address, not a password, not your mother’s maiden name, just a URL that must be confirmed by both the accepting site and OpenID host. No more filling out web site registration forms! Now that sounds wonderful to those of us sick of tracking the login details for all the web services we use. However, while OpenID is terrific in theory, it’s real-world usage still has a way to go. Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of OpenID.
