Finished reading Diablo III: The Book of Cain (Italian translation). The package is pretty, the graphics are good but the texts (by Flint Dille) aren't convincing throughout the whole thing: too much trivial stuff and mawkish crap, that is the same unforgivable sins Blizzard made within Diablo III (the game). Oh, I miss Blizzard North so much.... 3/5, only for fans.

JUST FINISHED READING - Kevin Mitnick's Ghost in the Wires

Quite interesting to read about his life as a hacker, but felt like it was building up to something more then it did.

I did enjoy it though, some nice bed time reading. It's a shame he didn't go in to more depth with the technical side of things.

JUST STARTED READING - Bobby Henderson's The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

I've had this one for a while but I've only just got around to reading it. The author seems like a nice chap, but sound proper quakers.

I can fully understand where he's coming from though and while the book doesn't seem to want to ease you into the thought process, it expects you to mostly be open minded about such things already.

I guess for the people who are going to be reading about FSM; they've already decided and know, but as the book suggests to be a pastafarian you're are open to be proven wrong :)

Very good read so far and quite funny, I'll never look at another midget in the same way again.

Just finished "The B Team" By John Scalzi

it is part of The Old Man's War universe.

The B-Team (1/15/13): Colonial Union Ambassador Ode Abumwe and her team are used to life on the lower end of the diplomatic ladder. But when a high-profile diplomat goes missing, Abumwe and her team are last minute replacements on a mission critical to the Colonial Union?s future. As the team works to pull off their task, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson discovers there?s more to the story of the missing diplomats than anyone expected? a secret that could spell war for humanity.

    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
