Though the patent exists it is impossible to say how widely this mode of advertising is likely to be applied.
The patent's abstract describes the the suspension of "interactive content" in order to display an advertisement, after which interaction resumes.
The development hints that, in future, in-game advertising may adopt a model much closer to commercial television.
The filing suggests that gamers could be warned of an impending advertisement by a warning message, or by slowing down gameplay.
During online games, the patent has clauses for the display of the same advertisement to all users simultaneously, and different adverts for one or more players.
Friends may be priceless. But 'friending' is worth $38 a share.
That's what Facebook set as the initial price when its stock begins trading on Wall Street Friday morning. That's at the top end of the range analysts were expecting and gives the company a valuation of roughly $104 billion.
"A $104 billion market capitalization puts Facebook at more than 100 times its trailing earnings," wrote John Constine and Kim-Mai Cutler for technology blog TechCrunch. "That's a big multiple to live up to, and it will likely need to add bold new revenue streams to justify the mammoth valuation."
If you're one of the millions who purchased an iPod between September 12, 2006, and March 31, 2009, you might be in for a surprising email from RealNetworks.
Back in 2004, the company created the music service Harmony, a digital rights management (DRM) translation service. It allowed users to play songs downloaded from the RealPlayer music store on Apple's iPod.
Apple created an iPod firmware update not too long after the announcement of Harmony, which blocked it and other music services from uploading songs to the iPod.

This is why most of them are against it
Personally I prefer An Android over an Iphone, because I truly do not like APPLE
Author John Beiswenger has just filed a lawsuit against video game publisher Ubisoft claiming that the company's "Assassin's Creed" franchise directly copied ideas from his own story.
Beiswenger's "Link" is a novel centering on a team of scientists who discover a cell particle with infinite capacity for memory. The researchers are taken back in time as their test subject recalls ancestral memories in hopes of learning about the existence of the human soul.
If Beiswenger succeeds, this could mean fans won't be seeing a third "Assassin's Creed" game, or at least not anytime soon.
both works also include spiritual and religious tones, assassinations and characters experiencing historical events through their distant past relatives.
The author is seeking $1.05 million against Ubisoft in damages and up to $5.25 million if the judge rules that the company knowingly infringed on the copyright. This would also halt the release of "Assassin's Creed 3" and any other related products.
"Assassin's Creed 3" will take place in colonial New York and Boston during the Revolutionary War, and the series' new main character is a Native American/British mix named Connor.
For 15 years Resident Evil was always a name of importance
Though this newest edition is no addition on any history
In this game and time, you play as a member of the Wolfpack Squad for Umbrella Corporation. You're tasked with retrieving a virus that turns people into the undead creatures before the U.S. military can find it.
Though what has plagued the best zombie franchise in the business from back in the day, is one small little thing. IT'S NOT ABOUT ZOMBIES ANYMORE.
These games are more about Umbrella and this is what causes it to turn into a bad version of Call of Duty
This goes the same as the movies and it's just not right
If i wanted to play C.O.D. I'd play C.O.D. not RE
Though one cool feature is: Either your friends can fill in the roles of the other three squad members or the game will control the others like Dead Island

James Whittaker, an ex-engineer for Google left, because of this and his quoting is that
"My last three months working for Google was a whirlwind of desperation, The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus."
James was the head engineer for Google's Google Plus
Whittaker joined Google in 2009 and only left a month ago.
Before Google + enginners had all the resources and time they needed and this caused massive epicness like Google Docs and Chrome
Though now with a new CEO the idea for Google was about being social
Microsoft is competing with Google for Search engines but has gotten no where close
I have seen that Google is not taking the market from Facebook for Social Networking, and also Microsoft is not taking away the market of Google for a search engine
