Electronic Arts is Giving Away Video Game FIFA 07 for Free
Software companies finally buckle and recognise the universal truth that consumers want to play but don't want to pay. One such company - Electronic Arts - has decided to give South Korean gamers FIFA07 free of charge online. If you think Electronic Arts is dumb, think again. Once gamers got hooked to the game, they started to buy enhancements or add-ons to the game for a small price of about US$1 in order to gain an upper hand over fellow-gamers. The company has managed to sell 700,000 enhancements since May 2006.

The Theory of Everything
The string theory is a hoax. What the hell!
Ever since humankind is aware of their existence in the universe, they've been pondering where they stand and how the "big void" came into being. Now they are in pursuit of the "Theory of Everything".
The Chinese have only just finished celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival has its origin in a myth that a woman flew to the moon and lived there with a woodcutter and a rabbit.

Enough Members for EU
After giving Romania and Bulgaria an endorsement to join the European Union on 1 January, EU chief José Manuel Barroso said enough is enough. The bloc has to resolve its institutional problems before it can expand further. The purpose is to ensure that the enlarged Union will function in an efficient and harmonious way. The EU currently has 25 member states, not including Romania and Bulgaria.

Osama bin Laden Dead?
The French secret services said the al-Qaeda leader is dead.
Even if bin Laden was gone, his fighting spirit and his extreme doctrines would live on among jihadists. After all, they are not fighting for the cause of bin Laden, they're fight for the cause of Allah and Sharia.
The US and the world would have a hard time coping with the dire consequences of the war in Iraq. I know Islamic radicalism didn't begin in March 2003. Yet Iraq is a magnet to jihadists and the invasion of Iraq has galvanized many an alienated Muslim youth into action. That seems to be confirmed recently by the intelligence community in the US itself.
