Hi everyone! Can you believe it’s already the end of April? I’m not going to say anything cliché like where has the year gone—because I know the answer to that question—but I do wish 2017 would slow down a little bit. On the other hand, Marvel probably wishes the next couple weeks would speed up...

Uber tracked former users even after they deleted the app from their iPhones, a practice that eventually earned CEO Travis Kalanick a scolding from Apple chief executive Tim Cook, the New York Times reports.

"It's not worth thinking about this as an isolated incident and instead a manifestation of what ails all of Silicon Valley."

If the gaming community's going to keep moving forward, the time has come time to leave PAX behind.

Recently Penny Arcade, Inc. posted a help wanted ad for a system administrator. I've been working in IT for eight years, and I've seen some job postings with outlandish experience and certification requirements with unreasonable job responsibilities for a staggeringly low amount of pay, but this posting takes the cake.
