HBO Legendary Map Code Giveaway - Results
We're a little later than we'd planned - but the winner in the HBO: Legendereh contest has been chosen. Congratulations to Boltstriker - Domino picked him at random from the nearly 2500 entries we got. And thanks, Domino! Because of you, all the Legendary-required playlists just got bigger pools!

Lawsuit Settled
Last week, we mentioned a story about Microsoft getting sued for patent infringment that involved code that was supposedly used in Halo games. Apparently, the suit has already been settled... neither side is disclosing details, but Microsoft said it was "an amicable agreement", and PalTalk "is quite pleased with the outcome," according to one of its lawyers. Over... and done. (Louis Wu 13:47:56 UTC) (permalink)
