Last weekend, I played my first few rounds of Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer. I’d seen the videos and I’d heard the concern from Halo fans, but I wanted to actually get my hands on it before I made any judgments. After all, Halo’s competitive multiplayer has never been my strong suit, so I was more excited about the changes than the Halo purists.

Sony Pictures Entertainment's "The Interview" has become the most hyped movie of 2014. The buzz doesn't stem from the film itself — in fact, critics weren't terribly impressed with the film when they reviewed it. Instead, the hype stems from the fact that The Interview spurred a massive hack of Sony's internal network that the Federal Bureau of Investigation believes was perpetrated by hackers with ties to North Korea.
Why would hackers attack Sony over a movie? The Interview stars Seth Rogen and James Franco as a pair of reporters who conspire to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, and North Korea has gone on record in calling the film an "act of war."
Well unfortunately for North Korea and the Sony hackers, whoever they may be, Sony is reversing its earlier decision and releasing The Interview tomorrow on Christmas Day. And now, we have a full list of theaters that will be showing the movie.

According to people briefed on the matter, Sony had in recent days asked the White House for help in lining up a single technology partner — Apple, which operates iTunes — but the tech company was not interested, at least not on a speedy time table. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
The Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger is that rare proposal that's such a bad idea that it actually brings people of all different political beliefs together. If you look at the website for Stop Mega Comcast, for instance, you'll see both liberal groups such as Common Cause and conservative outfits such as Glen Beck's The Blaze are both lined up in mutual opposition to the proposed deal.
