North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced.

His death was announced in an emotional statement read out on national television.

The announcer, wearing black, said he had died on Saturday of physical and mental over-work.

The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says his death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea.

Kim Jong-il has been the leader of the impoverished communist country since the death of his father Kim Il-sung in 1994.

He suffered a stroke in 2008 and was absent from public view for several months.

His designated successor is believed to be his third son, Kim Jong-woon, who is thought to be in his late 20s.

? Kim Jong Il ? Khaddafi ? Osama Bin Laden ? Saddam Hussein ? Internet Explorer (Saw this on Twitter) :rofl:

Oh boy! :laugh:

I would have been satisfied with him just losing power and democratic forces to start gearing up, but oh well...

Propaganda speech for covering something entirely different. (Y)

Perfect day, to play a round of Homefront...

Shall we put up a Neowin Contest for a couple rounds of it?

Beware, I'm new to it, however it sits there and wants care from me! (Y)

(Side note: Steam made it affordable! (Y) (not that it's expensive, but you know... it got to the point of "no brainer" impulsive buy!))

Damn this is very sad :(

How? The guy was absolutely insane... and he's being replaced by his Brother in law who's equally as insane until his son who's just as bad if not worse takes power when he's ready.

The only sad thing about it is that his political views didn't die with him.

I think it's sad as it's an example of how our cruel works sometimes.

A person's death SHOULD not be a reason for anyone to cheer.

A person should never be so mighty and negatively influencing the world that his or her death is such a crucial event.

A person's death is sad, no matter what he did. I wish everyone a good, prosper long life. I'd much prefer him to live on and democratic forces to prevail!

This being said, seeing how the world works, this is unfortunately one of THOSE "events" that "have to" happen albeit they don't really mean anything (son = successor = same sh*t or worse).

Its better to have an insane person about whom you know than the one you don't know nothing about.

As for his political views...too bad they strayed so far from what could have been.

Communism ftw!

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
