Jake Schmidt: Five Reasons We Need a New Global Agreement on Climate Change by 2015
Posted in: Today's Chili
In December 2011 countries agreed in Durban, South Africa to secure a new international legal agreement by 2015. This is not the first time that countries agreed to finalize such an agreement.

This was discovered after Greenheart Games rolled out a “cracked” version of its Game Dev Tycoon title to illegal downloading sites, and anyone who attempts to play the game development simulation for more than a few hours would be on the receiving end of a thinly veiled hint concerning the negative consequences of their actions. A message will pop up as you see above, informing the player that folks have taken steps to

Mention the word “cloud” to a 60 year old, and he or she will give you a very different definition to that of the younger, tech savvy generation. After all, many of us work from the cloud itself right now. Just ask yourself, how many important documents have you stashed away onto Google Drive by now? Well, smartphone owners are definitely not “suffering” from the issue of not having enough
