Link Roundup 8/16/2013

Well OK I guess this IS a trend.  Are Links back?  Probably.

Culture:

Hackers of the renaissance.  The hacker ideal is older than we’d expect.  OK, actually the hacker ethic got named later, but you get the idea.  Filled with amusing information.

Technology:

Samsung to introduce a watch-phone.  Dick Tracy jokes aside this is kind of interesting.  I think the smartwatch idea is probably a wash, but as a phone replacement/integration I can see some possibility and I have faith in Samsung.

Patch starts its layoffs.  No one is surprised.

Roundup of Game News 8/14/2013

Three more execs leave what’s left of Zynga.  Maybe someone can buy Zynga AND RIM.  Anyway, if you’re still there, start looking.

This is interesting.  Disney will have an iPad app/game that interfaces with Infinity.  That’s an interesting bit of interfacing that is probably worth paying attention to – building a full game/multitechnology interface.

A look at video game copyright and just who may – or may not – own what for some old games.
