gadgetzone.com.au has posted a complete comparison test between all the current full versions of the most popular internet browsers. IE 7 takes on Firefox 3, Safari 3.1.2 and Opera 9.5. IE 8 has been left out because it's still in beta. There was a previous smaller comparison between IE7, Safari 3 and Firefox 3 when the latter was still in RC phase, but this is a much more detailed comparison, including four graphs, that includes only final release browsers and has this time included Opera as well, due to numerous requests after the last group test.
The creator behind Hunter x Hunter is dipping his toes into the world of video game horror with artwork of one of the best-selling PlayStation titles.
He didn't die. He suffers from chronic back issues which has caused him to have lots of hiatuses

"For years, he has been suffering from chronic back issues, leading to several hiatuses spanning multiple years. Due to these issues, he is only able to draw sporadically and only while laying down."
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
I guess.
How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )
At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.
MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.
one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.
"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"
Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.
Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.
Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.

MS has a bad rep now because those studios are no more. I rather them sell the studio continue to make multiplatform releases, while MS continues to focus on whatever they're doing. If they didn't want Tango around they should separated from them or sell them to, like they did TFB.
It's inexcusable, they have options on how to handle studios they don't want anymore with killing jobs. Not just MS but the rest of the industry also.
Sad and disgusting sure how many will get shut down next year or this year even?
I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.
From the article...
"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"
I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.
MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂
The best thing is that the company that is worth $3 trillion and owns the company instead of Xbox lacks resources. How the hell does a company worth $3 trillion making a measly $70 billion purchase they 'can't' support. Lol
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
That's absolutely 💯 BS. Any sane 'autonomous' company would NOT put their games on Gamepass day 1 like COD will lose probably billions.
Also they're all under Xbox game studios so any autonomy is an illusion.

Firefox > ALL
The article tested speed only.
Overall results were (approximately)
Safari-2.6 (but longer start up time)
Opera-2.75 (failed a java-heavy test page)
Firefox-3.4 (authors said there was no visible diff. and convenience of awesome bar would likely outweigh extra loading time)
IE7-4.1
It all sounded a tad firefox biased to me - "Firefox got fairly beaten in our tests but is clearly better because...." type of thing.
Not that I disagree (I use firefox myself), but a more objective article would have held more weight imho.
Firefox is no1 browser it's better than anything out there at the moment it's just fantastic.
No doubt Safari is a bit faster after the first load. But it has a ton of incompatibility problems when operating on a Windows platform. That alone makes it an inferior browser when compared to Firefox 3.0's general usability.
It seemed like opera was the best all rounder to me. It was almost consistently faster than firefox, almost as feature rich and if you don't have the compatibility issues on the machine you use it then that would be a mute point for you.
I user firefox but overall it doesn't really *kill* the competition......well apart from IE7
