Buggy, But Awesome

FALLOUT: New Vegas out in North American stores today.

Eurogamer commented that “Obsidian has created a totally compelling world and its frustrations pale into insignificance compared to the immersive, obsessive experience on offer. Just like the scorched scenery that provides its epic backdrop, New Vegas is huge and sprawling, sometimes gaudy, even downright ugly at times – but always effortlessly, shamelessly entertaining.

Giant Bomb’s Jeff Gerstmann reviewed Fallout: New Vegas for the Xbox 360 positively, despite its many crash bugs and glitches. “When I reflect on the experience, I’ll probably think about the times the game locked up on me or broke in a dozen other crazy ways first, before thinking about the great world and the objectives that fill it. If you were able to look past the issues that plagued Fallout 3 and Oblivion before it, New Vegas will eventually show you a real good time.”

Facebook Adds New Security Features

..like temporary passwords for instance. Say you are at your college library or airport and are leery about the security of the network, you can text FB to send you a temporary PW. It works for 20 minutes -then it expires. So, even if you “forgot” to log off, it would log you off after 20 minutes. Also, key-loggers aren’t normally “instantly” used. So by the time they are “put to use” your password has already expired.
Now, mind you if your phone gets stolen(say by a curious spouse) and it isn’t locked, then the thief could send a text to retrieve your PW and peek in. Or, if it is a real thief they have a short window of time to change your email address and phone number on the FB site to something that they have control over. But, I am guessing that would not be top priority usage for a stolen phone.
