If you’re a tech geek with a penchant for waving around how much money you’ve got, have I ever found the product for you: it’s a fully-functional, 32” touchscreen computer built directly into the surface of a coffee table. It’s also better than some people’s desktops.
Among the many other announcements dropped by Microsoft at this year’s Gamescom 2013, the Richmond-based studio detailed its plans for the Xbox One’s Independent Games Program. It’s called ID@Xbox, and it’s going to eventually culminate with development kit capability for every Xbox One.
We’re living in somewhat curious times. See, the birth of the Internet has established something Marshall McLuhan termed "The Global Village." We’re closer – and more connected – than we’ve ever been before. Unfortunately…the law hasn’t really kept up with any of that.
