Now the combo publisher-developer behind games Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and upcoming monster-roleplaying followup Skyrim has been hacked. Don’t take my word for it, take theirs. Bethesda Softworks just admitted the breach in an official blog post, explaining that an unidentified group of hackers snuck in and had its way with …
Worried you may have to wait until holiday 2012 for Nintendo’s newfangled console-tablet contraption? Don’t fret: Sega says the Wii U should be out around this time (or a few months later) next year.
In fact Sega’s using verbs like “is”—not “might,” “should,” or “could”—when talking Wii U release timetables.
“The Wii U is …
Ready for the next round of MacBook Airs? It sounds like Apple is, namely that Cupertino’s placed orders for nearly 400,000 ultra-light laptops, due to enter mass production this month.
AppleInsider plucked the rumor from an “accurate” security analyst, who told the Apple news-watcher that Cupertino had placed orders for 380,000 Sandy …
The hackers behind recent attacks on Sony’s PlayStation Network may be less anonymous than they’d hoped. The New York Times is reporting that police in Spain say they’ve nabbed three individuals allegedly involved in recent hack-intrusions against Sony’s PSN (among other cyber-iniquities). The three were arrested independently in the

It’s a giant walled-in table of sand—a sandbox by any other name—and it’s helping predict where the deadly Arizona Wallow Fire could go next.
(More on TIME.com: Top 10 Devastating Wildfires)
That fire, currently raging through Arizona’s eastern mountains, continues to burn out of control as it races towards New Mexico—it’s …
Don’t call it Blu-ray, but Blu-ray-like will do. Sites like Blu-ray.com sure got it wrong mid-April when they reported Nintendo’s next console would include a Blu-ray optical drive, but the gist of that rumor turns out to be half-true: mass storage several times greater than DVD’s increasingly constrained gigabyte maximum, only in a …
It turns out Citibank was hacked in early May. Wait, you hadn’t heard? Me neither. Well, that’s just because Citibank chose to keep quiet about it until now.
We’re talking a fairly serious hack, too. The personal and account information of some 200,000 Citibank card holders in North America was breached, reports Reuters, including …
It’s another startling picture of our very own Sun that might pass for a CGI still from a summer disaster flick. You know, right before our backyard star reaches across the void with fingers of fire and gobbles us up. But don’t worry, it’ll only strike us a “glancing blow,” says NASA.
The sun pitched a pretty impressive solar fit …
It’s one of those shots that makes you go “holy word-I-can’t-say-here”: A space shuttle hanging from the International Space Station like a bird caught midflight, or a high diver reaching around about to leap backwards off a diving board. It’s also the first photograph of a shuttle—the very vehicle that helped assemble the space …
What goes down must eventually come back up. That would’ve been Newton’s fourth law had he lived another 284 years and been using Skype this morning.
“Skype broken for everyone?” wrote Xona Games’ game producer Matthew Doucette on Twitter this morning. I glanced up at my Mac’s menu bar. Sure enough, the dreaded X-Cloud (or …
Sony bigwig Jack Tretton kicked things off at E3 2011 last night exactly as we hoped he might, owning the PlayStation Network outage from his first word, and even managing to crack a joke and tease the press, who’ve certainly benefited traffic-wise from Sony’s misery.
“This isn’t the first time that I’ve come to an E3 press conference …
What’s the one thing you wish Xbox Live had in the U.S., that it doesn’t today? Yep, I said live TV, too. I haven’t actually had live TV (or frankly any sort of cable TV package) for years. When I watch TV at all, it’s to plumb Netflix’s super-giganto library, or to pop in a couple seasons of something long-since-aired on DVD. But I …
