MV Agusta F4 - Click above for high-res photo gallery
You can't breathe a word about Harley-Davidson these days without being swirled into the rumormill.
Even the financial analysts
have chimed in to speculate about a
possible buyout. The official news traveled fast regarding the corking of the Buell bottle, but
that still leaves the better-looking Italian cousin. What will become of
MV Agusta?
Word on the street indicates that Harley may be in talks with a few different - and equally
interesting, we might add - buyers, the first of which is Paul Berlusconi, brother of Italian Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi. For a brand that couldn't be more quintessentially Italian, an
MV/Berlusconi marriage seems rather appropriate, or adatto as they may say it in
Italy.
The buyer behind door number two is where things get more exciting. Rumor has it that BMW has shown
serious interest in MV Agusta.
Can we get confirmation from either party? Of course not, but stay tuned for updates as this story
develops. Either way, we hope to see MV Agusta on two wheels (or, you know... sometimes just one)
for years to come.

Nearly nine years after September 11th, Hollywood is still figuring out just what to do with the
tragedy, the war on terror, and related subjects. On one hand, of course, the staunchly apolitical
Iraq War indie The Hurt
Locker just won the Best Picture Oscar. On the other hand, Paul Greengrass's Green Zone -- a partisan tract
on a nine-figure budget -- bombed at the box-office last weekend, proving that audiences are still
cautious about broaching the subject as entertainment. The most successful attempt to distill
current events for mass consumption has also been the best: Ridley Scott's Body of
Lies took a step back from the hot-button issues and snuck devastating commentary on our
Middle East quagmire into a breathless spy thriller.
On the other hand, documentary filmmakers, blessed with reduced commercial expectations, have been
able to attack the subject from all directions, to the point where you could use their work to put
together a degree program in post-9/11 world affairs. No End in
Sight was the non-fiction equivalent of Green Zone, serving as an
all-purpose condemnation of the Bush administration. Why We
Fight tried to frame the Iraq War in a broader context, repeating Eisenhower's warning
about the rise of the military-industrial complex. Gunner Palace was a
verité punch in the gut, following a platoon of soldiers on the ground in Iraq. Control
Room looked at the war zone from the point of view of the beleaguered Middle Eastern news
network Al Jazeera. New World Order, a SXSW hit last year, took a deeply skeptical look at
the 9/11 "truther" subculture.

Comics Should Be Good! -
40 minutes ago
It only took about fifteen years to get there, but Extreme Justice is getting props it never got
when it was first out.
So, the other week Colgate Max Fresh (with mini breath strips) began a pretty major ad campaign
in DC Comics.
It's a three-page ad spread (which couldn't have been too cheap).
The first page is a comic strip about a date (and the big kiss at the end, aided mightily by
Colgate Max Fresh, which has mini breath strips, donchaknow). The strip is fair enough - pretty
standard fare.
But then there is a double-page spread where they celebrate DC's 75th Anniversary, specifically
"75 years of the hero getting the girl" (that is on one half of the two-page spread).
Now you might very easily take some issue with the latent sexism there, but we'll leave that
alone for a moment and take a look at the other half of the double-page spread, where they show a
kiss from DC Comics history.
The first week....
Okay, fair enough, Superman and Lois Lane - pretty darn iconic (and hey, it's Frank Quitely, so
that's awesome in and of itself).
This past week?
Oh yeah, you know it! Extreme Justice, baby!!!
I suppose Colgate wanted some ethnic diversity, and it's not like DC (or Marvel for that matter)
really has all that many covers featuring a black character kissing someone, but still, Extreme
Justice?
Hilarious.
It's especially amusing considering Amazing Man has been dead for, what, fourteen years
(basically the instant Extreme Justice ended)? And Maxima's been dead for close to ten.

The iPhone's iteration of
Google Maps has been shown up time and time again by Google Maps
Navigation on Android, but a quirk this big just has to be linked to some Skyhook database
issue. According to a new report coming from NorCal, select iPhone users in southern San Francisco
are seeing their GPS software linked to Boulder, Colorado, and the issue has been going on for
around a week now. What's curious is that the erroneous positioning affects other third-party
iPhone GPS apps as well, and an ABC report notes that a "spokesperson at AT&T said the
problem is with Apple." So, have any of you SF-based iPhoners found yourself navigating to Folsom
Stadium when trying to find your way to SoMa?
[Thanks, Charles]

Difficile d’identifier ce soir une personnalité politique qui se détache
parmi les nombreux leaders composant la “gauche plurielle”. En 2004, la large
victoire du parti socialiste lors des élections régionales n’avait pas permis
à Ségolène Royal, de nouveau très nettement réélue,
d’emporter les élections présidentielles.

Since there's a lot of people enjoying the game (including me :drool:) how about we form some kind
of clan like the old times.
Simply create a new profile and tag it with [Rage3D] with your Forum nick name so we can obviously
recognize you (IE [Rage3D]JonZ). Or you can simply put it in the Clan tag but I like the idea of
creating from scratch to reflect your stats based on Rage team play :)

In light of the recent news, we caught up with Final Destination franchise producer Craig
Perry who gave us the inside skinny on what is going on with Final Destination 5. " If we find the
right storyline for FD5 and we're working on it then we'll take the lessons we learned from TFD and
make the necessary improvements to deliver what audiences expect from this franchise, going back to
the original," he tells Bloody Disgusting. " What I know for sure is that it will be in 3D
and deliver inventive, suspenseful, fun kills. That I can promise!" Again, what would you guys
like to see in the fifth battle with Death? |

Publisher attempts to make an impact on the sale of second hand games by using DLC
to create long-term value or encourage new purchases doesn’t work, according to GameStop
CEO Dan DeMatteo.
"Through our years in the used business, we have learned that the second-hand user is a
value-oriented consumer... we don't believe that a $10 add-on piece of DLC is compelling to a
used game buyer," he said, in reference to schemes such as Mass Effect 2’s
Cerberus Network.
