Bitcoin has had its fair share of limelight in the past as well as in recent times, so much so that there is a new Bitcoin ATM installed in the city state of Singapore. Well, it seemed that the Bitcoin exchange known as Mt. Gox was compromised earlier this week, without too much explanation given on what happened behind the scenes. Those who had plenty of trust in Bitcoin were certainly all shook up for sure, and plenty of questions arose, where among the others include the safety of customers’ coins in the exchange. These are not small questions, really, and they do demand and answer in reality. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Mt. Gox is filing for bankruptcy protection, where this bit of news hailed from one of Mt. Gox’s lawyers who spoke out at a news conference in Tokyo.

Which comes first – the chicken or the egg? This is the very same situation that many software developers and hardware manufacturers ponder over. Software developers say that they would like to see a platform increase its market share before they are able to throw their lot into it, while hardware manufacturers claim that unless software developers back their hardware right from the get go without looking at the user base figures, it would be difficult for people to adopt the hardware in the first place. Well, Acer is somewhat placed in such a position, as their VP of Smartphones, Allen Burnes, mentioned that the company would like to see Windows Phone market share grow before they take the plunge into the Windows Phone platform.

Out of all the mobile platforms, both Android and iOS enjoy the greatest degree of support, and by that, it also translates to the number of games which are revealed on both platforms. As for Windows Phone, well, reception in that particular department has proved itself to be rather lukewarm, but this does not mean that major titles still do not make its way there.

Two of the world’s greatest things have come together in a new game that will blow your mind and distract you from the things you should be doing instead. Doctor Who Pac-Man. Need I say more?
DeviantARTist maxtervamp made this Doctor Who Pac-Man flash game that you can play online right now. It’s just like the original Pac-Man that you know and love, but with a TARDIS and Daleks instead of ghosts. The power pellets are sonic screwdrivers, naturally.
Chomping Daleks is fun. I have spent way too much time playing this already. Now it is your turn.
