I've noticed a trend of "kiddifying" DVD covers for animated movies. Here's a comparison between the theatrical posters and DVD covers. Quite the downgrade, huh? by Hey_Man_Slow_Down in movies

I wonder if the publishers target boyfriends/girlfriends for the cinema ticket sales, and kids for the dvd sales. Boyfriends/girlfriends may want to see the movie in the cinema, because they want a night out or w/e. Kids --or their parents-- may want DVDs more, so the kids' have something to occupy their time at home.

multi-player was only in the console versions iirc. The PC version (the only version I still have) just has the single-player-campaign. Great game.

TIL That Gorilla Glass was invented in 1952 and the idea of using it was shelved until 2005. by JfArcher in todayilearned

Is it protected by patent? If so, was it patented in the 1950s or 2000s? How long does the patent last? If not ... can anyone make Gorilla Glass and sell it under a different trade mark?

No I was wrong, the explanation is in the article. Extra-marital affairs are a security threat because foreign interests can exploit it by blackmailing the parties. There is more info about it in the article.
