Denial, downsizing, cost-cutting, and realignment. While there was lots to be positive about in 2009, these were the pervasive trends that you’ll see as we look back through the news stories of the past year. We saw studios close, and we saw frequent calls to both publishers and platform-holders to be more responsive to the market. As you read through this two-page retrospective you’ll no doubt …

From our friends at ProPublica.org: “NPV Test: Failed.” That was the red-lettered verdict on the computer screen of a CitiMortgage negotiator in June. The result: An 83-year-old widow in Illinois was denied a loan modification through the Obama administration’s Making Home Affordable program, even though the employee admitted in an e-mail, “I am unable to come up with a reason for the denial.” The Net Present Value test is a complex computer model used by loan servicers to determine whet

This may be starting to sound a bit like a broken record, but please, don’t shoot the messenger. I don’t make the news. I just report it.

Maybe Al Qaida was jamming iPhones on Hollywood Boulevard and as soon as I turned the corner I would see my beloved home screen agai

Is Atheism Just the Denial of Gods?

Here’s a quick excerpt
Sometimes contemporary atheists try to wall-off the psychological implications of becoming an atheist by saying: “Atheism is just the denial of gods. Nothing more.” But though this may be a reasonable starting definition for what an atheist is, it is ultimately disingenuous to stop there. The implications of becoming an atheist are much, much more far ranging than this. There is nothing casual about becoming an atheist. Take just one example: When you deny the existence of gods, for many peopl

This is a boast post - because I liked the way these turned out. I think the colours in the Denial banners turned out better, ( no I’m not just being Alliance biased) but It was interesting adding a real world object to fit in with the theme of the Occam’s banner, a razor
