He's one of the few movie people who really gets games as an insider, and Microsoft was looking for his blessing. He gave it. "The technology recognized me as a full person," he says. "It identified me, my legs, my arms...

Even worse for these true Locavores, when the crops fail in a drought, food supplies from nearby surplus regions cannot be brought...
...during his time at Harvard, Borges lived through an experience that eventually inspired his most relevant short story. On a spring morning, Borges took a walk by the Charles River, and sat on a bench close to Dunster House to rest. Despite his blindness, he noticed he wasn’t alone—someone else was there. But when he talked to “The Other”—as the story based on the incident is called—Borges was horrified to hear his own voice answering his questions, except that the voice...
