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.
ALL QUOTED FROM and CREDIT SHOULD GO TO: HERE!
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
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City" is currently available in North America, Australia and Europe. It will be available in Japan on April 26.

This review was done playing the Xbox 360 version.

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

The first complete gorilla genome has been mapped by scientists giving fresh insights into our own origins.
We have decoded the Gorilla D.N.A. , which are the last of the genus of living great apes
"The gorilla genome is important because it sheds light on the time when our ancestors diverged from our closest evolutionary cousins around six to 10 million years ago," says Aylwyn Scally, postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge and lead author of the report.
A team of researchers examined more than 11,000 genes in humans, chimpanzees and gorillas, looking for evolutionary clues.
It is shown that Gorilla D.N.A. is 15% closer to our D.N.A. then a chimpanzee
Having the entire length of the gorilla genome now means scientists can start to compare all the four great apes at every position on the genome, Scally says.
It could have been some climatic change that separated humans in the east of Africa from chimpanzees in the forest -- that's an idea some have floated. If we can see some imprint of it in the genome that would very, very useful information.
Epic JURASSIC PARK MOVIE!

T-mobile is the only cell phone carrier that does not have the iPhone, and that hurts
Because of this it was the only national carrier to lose customers last quarter.
All along 2011 T-mobile was shredding contracts, though towards the end it slowed
Once Sprint came out with the iPhone and the iPhone 4s came out T-Mobile had no chance
T-Mobile wants to get the iPhone chipset does not support that band.
T-Mobile has 25 million subscribers and Verizon has 87 million
I think this might be one of the reasons they brought that cute girl in the commercials, to get people's attention

Apple has notified resellers that it will no longer be available to schools and other such places
This device was killed July off of last year
It will be available for six more months then after no longer
This is the end of the iBook series
It's unclear of the true reason why it is ending
this is happened before and when it did there was a new product that came out
