> “Vikingfjord” and “Smalahove” aren’t cities However, "Smalahove" is placed more or less exactly on the Norwegian town of Voss, which - among other things - is known (in Norway at…

If you're a cynic, announcing that you've "discovered" a large of amount of REE in your iron ore tailings - and having the chief executive of the EU declare it strategically import…

No, this is just business. Sony and Merlin have already sold all or parts of their shares, and are in the process of sharing the windfall with their labels. It's a pretty significa…

Blame the film distributors. Google can only sell what they receive from whoever owns the right in that region.

As bad as the star system is, I'm not sure there's anything better. I think Amazon has the right idea with the "Was this review helpful to you?" buttons, though that may not work q…

I watched rally for a few years, but lost interest after Loeb won his third straight WC. There was absolutely no suspense, everyone knew Loeb would win most of the rallies barring …

Yep that prevents turbo which stops it from shutting down. Crippling the CPU is a pretty annoying fix, though. Switching to the onboard Intel GPU works as well, but that means fore…

I love my Vaio-Z, but it's a bit like a Lamborghini - pretty and sleek, but not all that practical. It has a blazing graphics card but the fan noise could rouse a coma patient. Eve…

I agree Off-TV play is a really nice feature, but in my opinion the cons outweigh the pros. - Few games use it in any meaningful way. - It's bulky and unfamiliar. - It muddies the …

That's presumably a result of razor-thin margins and quick turnarounds. Competing on quality against free labor is quite hard.

The irony of the situation is that it's unprofitable to license anime for the US precisely because the fansubbing community already distributes "free" copies, and most anime-fans c…
