‘The Bachelorette’ Recap: Man Claws!

This episode could have alternately been called “Bentley’s Ghost.” (Ugh.) Okay, romance and reality fans — it’s time to recap another (but decidedly unmemorable) episode of The Bachelorette. And if you thought we were done with Bentley, this episode was a depressing wake-up call of the lingering allure of the monotone bad boy. But first,

John King Turns GOP Debate into Bigger Joke Than it Already Was With ‘This or That’ Segments

Click here to view this media CNN’s John King decided to turn the second GOP Republican debate in New Hampshire, and I use that term lightly, into an even bigger joke than it was already with his “this or that” segments at the beginning and end of every commercial break during their broadcast. John King asked such hard-hitting questions as Leno or Conan to Rick Santorum, Elvis or Johnny Cash to Michele Bachmann, Dancing with the Stars or American Idol to Newt Gingrich, Blackberry or iPhone to Ron Paul, deep dish or thin crust to Herman Cain, spicey or mild wings to Mitt Romney and Coke or Pepsi to Tim Pawlenty. What was actually more pitiful was the complete lack of follow up during what was supposed to be some of the more “serious” discussions during this “debate” where the candidates were allowed to lie continually without being called out for it. Think Progress did a live blog of the debate that included some much needed fact checking that CNN’s John King was apparently unwilling to do during this fiasco here — Live-Blogging The GOP Primary Debate . King also inadvertently turned this into a running joke on Twitter where users there were posting their own questions as a substitute for King’s under the hashtag #thisorthat.

Shocker! Gamer behavior is actually quite predictable

Isn’t it curious how you always crack open a beer before settling in for some GTA ? Or how you tend to put an anxious hand over your wallet when logging onto PSN? No soldier, it is not curious. Not at all. But this is: Researchers at North Carolina State University claim they’ve found a way to predict your in-game behavior with “up to 80 percent accuracy.” After analyzing the decision-making of 14,000 World of Warcraft players, they noticed that different players prefer different types of achievements. These preferred achievements clump together into statistically significant groups, known as “cliques”, even if they have nothing obvious in common. So a WoW player who likes to improve their unarmed combat skills also, for some psychological reason, tends to want points for world travel. What’s more, the researchers believe that clique-spotting can be exploited outside the rather specific world of WoW , in which case their method could prove lucrative to game designers, online retailers and pretty much anyone with an interest in predicting your next move. Want to know more? Then we predict you’ll click the PR after the break. Continue reading Shocker! Gamer behavior is actually quite predictable Shocker!
