Europeans may be angry because Sony is not only not releasing the Playstation 3 in Europe this year, but in fact is threatening to attack anyone who imports a Playstation 3 into Europe this year.

Hey, that's their concern, but I'm just glad to see that the Playstation 3 will apparently shipo with the same old Dual Shock-shaped controllers, rather than the boomerang-like monsters that were shown off when the PS3 design was first released.

PokerRoom.com is a website I've frequented over the last two and a half years. But now, because of the SAFE Port Act, a misleadingly-named law that prohbits payment processing with online casinos, PokerRoom is not only going to prohibit US deposits, but they're also going to prohibit US players, period.

They do this despite the fact that there are ways around that. Hopefully for them they weren't counting on US business to begin with.

As for me, I was already considering alternatives, anyway. Now my consideration's done.
