Playing Without Paying

The online gaming industry has been, in recent years developed tremendously with more and more games churned out by game makers to cater to the public. As the number of gamers continue to increase at an exponential rate, I’m certain that more Online Games would be made available as game developers rush to capture this highly lucrative market. There are various types of online games and the most notable one is the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game of basically known as MMORPG. The most renowned titles in this genre are World of Warcraft, Eve Online, Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of The Rings Online. However, gamers would not only have to spend money on the monthly fee in order to continue playing but they would need to play the game for long periods in order to achieve a goal/mission/objective in-game. This might be unhealthy as some might get addicted and hence, forego their life responsibilities such as their family, work or studies. There have also been actual cases where addicted gamers have died from over playing.

Cuil thumbnails algorithm broken – causes trademark violations

www.cuil.com – a new search engine created by ex-Google employees provides thumbnail images next to search results. The nature of algorithm they use to determine which thumbnail to use for each search result is unclear. What is clear, is that it is broken – terribly so. It seems that the thumbnail Cuil uses next to search results does not have to come from the actual site that appears in the results. If you search Cuil for Free Games for example, the second result lists www.CoffeBreakArcade.com with www.playedonline.com logo appearing next to it. Whatever the reasoning behind it, website like PlayedOnline can claim that their logo is being used to promote other websites.
