So they used babes in bikinis to advertise ... so what

So he killed an elephant, never mind one that was going to have to be put down anyway.... whatever.

How is buying popular searched for domain names unethical, sounds like good business practice to me... you meam they're a business out to make money... whatever

oh you mean the company listened to their customers and dropped their support for SOPA... oh yeah, that **** has got to stop, can't support a company that will change their minds just because their customers tell them they're wrong....

you got to come up with some better reasons, some actual real valid reasons.

Or how about add other options for login like generic openID vs FB and twitter. Not everyone uses those services, and if they do -- maybe they don't want to link their neowin account with those accounts, etc.

There's also the new +Google Plus login that was just released:

errr. it's not called getting aught with your pants down when you publicly and very officially support something. and then they listened to their customers, unlike many, if not most other companies.

gives them a bonus point in my book.

yes they "listened to their customers" /s

more like they reversed the decision to support SOPA because they were afraid to lose a lot of customers due to the backlash

something any company does to cover their ass if a backlash is big enough

By listened to their customers, you mean control the outrage, loss of customers and revenue? They didn't do this from the kindness of their heart and the respect of their customers. They did this, to stop people from jumping ship like rats off the Titanic.

Granted even at the highest amount of lost customers during the boycott, they where still gaining thousands of customers. so...

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
