The New Splinter Cell

The Splinter Cell franchise was born in the shadows but by the time the series hit Double Agent, the fourth Splinter Cell installment, Sam Fisher was walking about in broad daylight just like our favorite contract killer, Agent 47. Not only has the series’ game mechanics been changing over the years but the entire series itself has begun sporting a grittier and more mature undertone. The first game to take the series in that direction was Chaos Theory, one of the finest Splinter Cell games ever made, developed by Ubisoft’s very own Montreal studios (who by the way are even working on Assassin’s Creed). Now after taking a backseat while Ubisoft Shanghai worked on Double Agent, Ubi Montreal are back with Splinter Cell Conviction, the brand new Splinter Cell game that plans on redefining the concept of stealth as we know it.

No Proven Statistic on Canadian Piracy Exists [Canada RULES]

Who really knows what the camcording piracy rate is in Canada? After weeks of following all the available data on this sensitive subject, only one conclusion can be found - a proven factual number really doesn’t exist in the first place. Slyck explores why this is the case.

On January 15th, 2007, the Globe and Mail printed that 50% of all Camcorded piracy originated in Canada - a shocking statistic that gained some level of publicity. Though it did get attention, the matter died out shortly afterwards.

On February 5th, 2007, Michael Geist cited the MPAA’s (Motion Picture Association of America) claim that 23% of all camcorded pirated movies are sourced from Canada. While a modest claim by now, the claim seemed to be just like any other number. Many criticize the MPAA and other organizations that make up the copyright industry for either cherry-picking statistics, not releasing data in full, or simply not disclosing the sources for their statistics at all.

Apple iPod hacked into iTop handheld

We’ve seen a plethora of devices that seem to convert your iPod into a laptop of sorts without voiding the warranty, but after you’ve broken the screen and have nothing to lose, why spend money on a pre-fabricated alternative? The iTop is essentially a hacked iPod that now resembles a white MacBook in some strange parallel universe, and while it’s definitely a stretch to deem this thing an iPod laptop, it can reportedly run a full build of Linux. Of course, the protruding hard drive may detract from the overall appearance, but at least it performs the task of holding the device upright whilst sitting. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many details to assist those who’d like to replicate this feat, but click on through for a few more snaps of this bizarre creation.
