- Begin adding Simple tags to your posts, and watch the related videos appear automatically, without any hazzle.

Take-Two has refused an offer by Electronic Arts to acquire the troubled publisher for $2 billion, GamesIndustry.biz reports.
Although Take-Two [GTA publisher] has rejected the cash offer, EA has decided to keep the offer open. The offer is a 63% stake on Take-Two’s closing price over the previous 30 days, and a 64% premium over Take-Two’s closing price on 15th February, the last trading day before EA sent its revised proposal to Take-Two.
EA sent a letter of proposal to Take-Two on 19th February, which has been rejected by the board of directors and executive chairman Strauss Zelnick.
“Take-Two’s game designers would also benefit from EA’s financial resources, stable, game-focused management team, and strong global publishing capabilities.”
Most of the world’s Internet users lost access to YouTube for several hours last week after an attempt by Pakistani government to block access domestically affected other countries.
An Internet expert said last week’s problems came after a Pakistani telecommunications company complied with the block by directing requests for YouTube videos to a “black hole.” So instead of serving up videos of skateboarding dogs, it sent the traffic into oblivion.
The problem was that the company also accidentally identified itself to Internet computers as the world’s fastest route to YouTube, leading requests from across the Internet to the black hole.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority had ordered 70 Internet service providers to block access to YouTube.com because of anti-Islamic movies on the video-sharing site, which is owned by Google Inc.
Todd Farmer of West Chester, PA, sold his AOL 1.0 startup disc for over $9,000 in an online ebay auction this week.
Mr. Farmer explains, “that disc served me well. It’s a 5 1/2″ floppy, double-sided, double-density with all the original packaging. This bad boy wasn’t free for me or anybody back then, so I wasn’t about to throw it away.”
Mrs. Farmer quotes “He’s had that stupid thing framed and hanging in the front room ever since before I knew him, and we’ve been married eight years. I kept trying to sneak it in to the trash, but he kept fishing it back out. I guess the last laugh’s on me, we’re going to Hawaii now.”
