Battleborn Is Shutting Down

Gearbox’s hero shooter Battleborn is set to die in early 2021. Launching just a few weeks before Blizzard’s similar but superior Overwatch, Battleborn struggled to find enough players to justify keeping the servers on throughout its three-year lifespan. Developer Gearbox is best known for its influential first-person shooter series Borderlands, but failed to translate that success into the multiplayer arena. Reviews around the game’s release leaned more positive than negative, but that wasn’t enough to keep it afloat amidst massive competition....

Beauty And The Beast Star Addresses Stockholm Syndrome Criticism

Since Disney’s animated classic Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991, the world has changed vastly and rapidly. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for movie fans to re-evaluate films with a different social perspective many years after their initial release. For example, despite being a classic piece of cinema, the portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is now rightly recognized as being vastly inappropriate and offensive. With the Emma Watson-led live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast hitting theaters next month, the debate has reignited asking whether the story depicts a young woman in an abusive relationship and suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, rather than being a classic story of love triumphing over adversity....

Arm Saving Macspeech Software Is 25 Off Until 2010

By far the best speech recognition on the Mac platform today is MacSpeech, which recently upgraded its speech recognition engine to use Nuance’s Dragon (the same engine used in the iPhone app). Their new application is fully able to integrate with Snow Leopard and works out of the box much better than the iPhone application. The accuracy becomes eerily good after spending a few minutes of teaching it to get used to your voice and way of speaking....

Beauty And The Beast Hear Emma Thompson Sing The Title Song

Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast is the cause of much excitement, but it’s fair to say that there’s also much fear and trepidation over exactly how the movie will turn out. Will director Bill Condon manage to successfully bring a new, magical take on the animated classic to the big screen, or will his adaptation fall short and leave us all wishing it had never been touched? Hopefully, it’s the former - and certainly the trailers, images and TV spots that have already been released show promise - but, let’s face it, it’s the music of the movie that will make it or break it....

Best Practices For Conducting A Risk Based Internal Audit

A Risk-Based Internal Audit (RBIA) is focused on the organization’s response to the risks they face in achieving their goals and objectives. An RBIA differs from other types of audits as it is based on the business goals and their associated risks. With this approach, internal auditors gain other responsibilities — now they not only manage the control activities, but also add an important contribution in the development of the risk management processes by defining the organization’s universe of risk....
