The NCAA is interested in Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor's cars. The state of Ohio says he shouldn't be driving one. > In this photo taken Monday, May 30, 2011, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor arrives for a players only meeting at the Woody Hayes Complex in Columbus, Ohio. Pryor, the highest profile recruit of former coach Jim Tressel's 25-year coaching career, is one of five Buckeyes who have already been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for taking money and tattoos from local tattoo-parlor owner Edward Rife, who pleaded guilty last week to federal drug trafficking and money-laundering charges. > Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor arrives in this Nissan 350Z, center, to a players only meeting Monday, May 30, 2011, at the Woody Hayes Complex, in Columbus, Ohio. Portalarium, the social and mobile game company founded by game pioneer Richard Garriott, has raised a second round of funding. Altogether, the Austin, Texas-based startup has raised $3.6 million to date. The financing includes money from m8 Capital in the United Kingdom and Founders Fund (the investment fund which includes PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel) in San Francisco. Garriott has vowed to create the same kind of fun games on Facebook as he did at earlier stages in his career. Earlier this year, Garriott said in an interview that Portalarium is aimed at exploiting the business opportunities in the "third age of video games." For those of you who didn't grow up playing games, it may help to know that Garriott was present for the first age of video games, with the debut of great single-player games such as  Ultima, which was followed by many sequels. In 1997, under his alter ego Lord British, Garriott extended his role-playing fantasy world to the online multiplayer game Ultima Online. Garriott considers the rise of Internet-connected games to be the second age of video games. Garriott tried to exploit that age with Tabula Rasa, one of the most ambitious sci-fi online ... (Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Codemasters, cert: 12, out now) _Dirt 3_ is the latest iteration in the Colin McRae Rally series and, although the late, great driver's name has now been removed from its title, it feels like he's still behind the wheel. Unlike _Colin McRae: Dirt 2_, there is less focus on customisation and, instead, a return to its roots as a no-nonsense, rally-racing sim. All that matters is shaving seconds off your time and reaching the finish line in one piece or, in the case of the new "gymkhana mode", racking up trick points and wowing the crowds. The result is a blisteringly fast, ultra-responsive and consistently challenging racer, undoubtedly, the finest game of its genre. The career mode is spread over four seasons with dozens of unlockable race events made available by earning reputation points, whether through race position or by completing in-race bonus challenges – hitting target top speeds or finishing the course with the car intact. Following their successful application in _Dirt 2_, "rewinds" thankfully also make another appearance, offering the ability to freeze and reverse time should you mistime a corner and become wrapped around a tree or take off ... Protein Wisdom blogger Dalreen Click links to the video of the Pima County raid, and writes: Radley Balko pursues the story. Glad this is on his radar. However, he asserts in another post covering yet another FUBAR raid "This is your war on drugs." Really? Set aside a moment the debate on the legalization of drugs and ask [...] Rounding up the apps that won't leave you stranded for fun The fear of getting stuck out in the big bad world without the ability to escape into a handheld fantasy land is driving more people to carry an iPod or iPhone. If you're one of them, these highlights will save you pounds and hours you would otherwise spend dredging the App Store. ## **Army Of Darkness Defence, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch** Stop the Deadites getting their rotting claws on the Book Of The Dead, using assorted medieval soldiery and a shotgun-equipped cartoon Bruce Campbell.

Sony announces portable pack for "grads and dads"; includes piano black PSP-3000, 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, and baseball and driving games. Real Racing is one of the best driving games on any mobile platform and its eagerly awaited sequel is adding real licensed cars. Japanese mobile social network Gree has purchased mobile social game platform operator OpenFeint for $104 million. Yes, it's time to start yelling "The Japanese are coming. The Japanese are coming." Gree's purchase of the Burlingame, Calif.-based startup follows the $403 million acquisition of mobile game firm Ngmoco by Japan's DeNA, which is a big rival of Gree's. The deal shows that mobile is heating up and multiple companies see the value of building a platform that helps mobile games get discovered. Like Ngmoco, OpenFeint operates a social platform for mobile games. By adopting OpenFeint's development platform, mobile game makers can make their games more social, more discoverable, and easily cross-promoted. OpenFeint provides features such as multiplayer challenges, leaderboards, and cross promotion. Gree has more than 25 million users and a market value of $3 billion in Japan, where it operates a social mobile game platform where users can buy games, socialize and interact with all sorts of content. OpenFeint has more than 5,000 games using its platform, and those games have more than 75 million users across iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) and Android devices. Gree is going to provide OpenFeint with additional operating capital to accelerate the ... Friend of IT Alison Brick checks out the Computer History Museum's new signature exhibition that explores life before IBM's Watson conquered Jeopardy!I've always been confused when people say they want to visit Silicon Valley. Stopping by Google for a tour... HP and AT&T on Wednesday announced that the latest webOS smartphone, the HP Veer 4G, will become available later this month as an AT&T exclusive. HP unveiled the bite-sized Veer webOS phone at a press event back in February, and at that time we thought the device was a tad too small for our liking. The Veer features solid specs, a crisp, bright touchscreen and a solid build, however, so petite AT&T subscribers seeking a sleek new smartphone should definitely check it out. The HP Veer 4G will cost $99.99 on contract in either black or white when it launches from AT&T on May 15th. Hit the break for the full press release. AT&T Goes Small With HP Veer 4G Facebook is no Google-money making machine, at least not when it comes to online retailing, according to a new study from the market analysis firm Forrester. The report, which looks at how retailers have used Facebook pages and its open graph, concludes that Facebook doesn't drive sales for most retailers and that Facebook's tools for businesses [...] New Mexico coach Steve Alford put some teeth into his stance against drinking and driving last week. After reserve Chad Adams was arrested, Alford suspended him for four games next season, removed him from scholarship for the summer, made him issue a public apology, and even took away the sophomore's car keys for the rest of his career. Gamers appear to miss their PlayStation games more than they might miss their money. A common trend among the 2010 winners of the Top Small Company Workplaces was to offer employee benefits outside of the typical package offerings. On such offering is providing time off to improve professional skills: not so uncommon. However, many companies offer it with or without pay and vary the weeks offered based on years of service. Outdoor clothing retailer Patagonia, based in Ventura, California, provides 16-week, unpaid sabbaticals at every year of service. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh-based technology consultancy MAYA Design offers six weeks of paid leave at five years of service. A Yard & A Half Landscaping, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, provides breastfeeding/pumping accommodations for mothers; and St. Louis-based general contractor Tarlton Corporation, has a family room furnished with books and games on their premises (pictured) where children can spend the day. Patagonia offers adoption assistance of up to $5,000 per employee and has an on-site childcare center. Air quality consultant All4 in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, provides full meals, enlisting a vendor to deliver ready-to-eat healthy dinners that employees can elect to purchase and take home to their families. San Diego-based e-business strategy consultancy Red Door Interactive offers on-site seminars on both stress and time management, and electronic ID ... With thousands of great games in the App Store, there's no doubt that the iPhone is a pretty nifty handheld gaming device in its own right. But that's not to say the fun levels can't be upped… One in 12 fans leaving MLB and NFL games were found to be legally drunk. CBS SPORTS reports 8% of of fans who took a breathalyzer test during a research project were loaded. 40% of them had at least something … Continue reading -> Phoenix Coyotes winger Scottie Upshall was suspended two games by the NHL on Wednesday for a hit on Philadelphia defenceman Oskars Bartulis during their game a night earlier. Upshall was driving the Flyers net and slammed Bartulis headfirst into the end boards. As a Dallas Mavericks fans, I've spent the last few weeks between a state of despair and glee. I've experienced it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. But one constant thorn in my side the last few days has been the radio broadcast on ESPN 103.3. Since that station carries the broadcasts of the games, I generally tune in to that station for all my sports needs. Plus, during my morning drive, Ben and Skin are diehard hoops fans in a Cowboys town, so they're generally talking about stuff I'm interested in (I even played pickup ball against them a few times, and they're crafty veterans, Mario Elie-style.) Anyway, as I noted a few months ago, I got a Sony HD radio unit for my car for Christmas. It's great! I love it! Except... when listening to ESPN 103.3 recently. The problem is the digital and analog signals. My new stereo will always lock on to the digital HD signal when possible. However, when that signal isn't strong enough, it drops down to the analog signal. Radio stations broadcast both their analog and HD digital signals on the same frequency, so there's no need ...
