LPG's Internet-based copy protection
A new report confirms that Linux Game Publishing have developed an Internet-based copy protection.

I think by this time you casn guess it....they will using this for their upcoming commercial game port.
As Usual any user will be able to install their games, but for launching the game we have to provide a valid key and a password which are validated against LGP's servers.

These combination will allow the user to install them on different computers. Basically an Internet connection is necessary, which might be a hassle for users.

LGP CEO, Michael Simms, responded he regrets he has to introduce a copy protection scheme, but this has to dointriduced since most of the gamers are downloading games rather than buying it.

I wonder if this annoys gamers...or will lead to No Piracy tate??

Computers!!!.....Want to guess how many computers you have...;)
A research firm has confirmed that the no of PC's being used across world has crossed the 1 billion mark.

No.of PC's gonna increase to 2 Billion in next few years.This is due to the falling prices.The increase in the quality of graphics in new and more interesting games.

Around 35 million PCs will be dumped into landfill with no regard for their toxic content.Recent report confirmed these games are not only attracting children, but are making their parents glued to the systems..It will become an even more pressing issue, as "More Graphics means more sophisticated computers "leading to "Increase in new computers and also increase in number of retired pc's"

While some computers will on or recycled, large numbers will simply be buried as the number of retired PCs grows with the continuing expansion of the PC installed base.

One wonders if Computer planning measures will be released by governments of all countries....;)
