Nintendo about to get into the theme park game

Sure, Disney have done a great job of turning their beloved and iconic movies and characters into tangible and equally magical theme parks, but there could be some new kids just around the corner. According to industry rumors, Universal and Nintendo are teaming up to deliver a theme park based on the properties owned by the Japanese gaming giant. We already know Nintendo has been working with Universal to revamp their current parks, but they will not stop there. According to ThisIsInfamous.com, Universal hope to split Nintendo's various major franchises into separate areas, as well as develop rides based on their games and characters in a third park. As you can probably imagine, a Mario Kart ride is apparently in the cards, as are zones based on Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda. Furthermore, there are also suggestions Universal are developing a literal World of Warcraft. This seems at least partly legitimate, as the studio is currently developing the upcoming movie adaptation. Personally, I can see this as an addition to their previous parks, as opposed to an area in a Nintendo park. The sources of the rumors claim the Universal development is mostly in response to Disney making their own improvements to their Disney World Theme Park. Currently, no one is entirely sure what these improvements will involve, but we're likely to find out at the upcoming D23 expo. These mysterious sources also claim Universal hopefully plan to open their video game inspired park sometime in 2021. But seriously, if any video game character is deserving of a theme park, it's Spyro. The original trilogy was just the best.

Windows - the way it was meant to be

Not really because that would mean Windows would be dead. But it ain't because Windows 10 is here and for the first time in a while, there's actual excitement about Microsoft's operating system upgrade. There's a sharper new browser that puts Internet Explorer to shame, Cortana integration, and an emphasis on a more productive experience in Windows. Windows 10 is so radically different that Microsoft even skipped over naming it Windows 9. Users who haven't already reserved a free upgrade in the Get Windows 10 app can still do so. Microsoft has the ambitious goal of rolling out the software to one billion users over the next few years. I wish them luck with that because Mac OS is the box they will eventually be burying it in.

BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Losing another Brown

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of late singer Whitney Houston, has died at the age of 22, some six months after suffering irreversible brain damage in an incident at her suburban Atlanta home, her family said in a statement. Brown, whose father is R&B singer Bobby Brown, was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her home by her partner and a friend on January 31. She was moved by her family to hospice care on June 24. She will be missed.

Deflategate II - not their future

NFL officials will be keeping closer tabs on football inflation this season, according to multiple media reports. Pregame pressure readings will now be documented and there will be random halftime and postgame rechecks, as reported by Fox Sports and other outlets. The new procedures also state that footballs remain under the watch of NFL officials, who will inspect each one and deliver them to the "kicking ball coordinator," who will take chain of custody of all footballs until 10 minutes before kickoff. Footballs will continue to be required to have at least 12.5 pounds per square inch of air and no more than 13.5 psi. If a ball falls outside of those numbers and the air pressure must be adjusted, it will be adjusted to 13 psi. According to the reports, which cite NFL officiating sources, the new procedures come in the wake of accusations of ball tampering by the New England Patriots in last season's AFC Championship Game. And now that they've taken care of the deflated pigskins, they can now look at changing the name of the Redskins, maybe to something like the DC Red Hawks.

Key and Peele are so over

The Comedy Central show Key & Peele, an absurdist sketch comedy that has become known for recurring skits like one in which an “anger translator” expresses emotions on President Obama’s behalf, will end after its current season. Speaking to the online entertainment journal TheWrap, one of the show’s stars, Keegan-Michael Key, said that it was time for him and his co-star, Jordan Peele, “to explore other things, together and apart.” Key & Peele premiered on the network in 2012 and won a Peabody Award in 2013 for its “inspired satirical riffs on our racially divided and racially conjoined culture.” The show, currently in its fifth season, received seven Emmy nominations this year, including a nod for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series. Both comedians are biracial and much of their comedy is given to exploring, mocking, and confounding racial stereotypes. In accepting the show’s Peabody Award, Mr. Key expressly thanked the network for allowing Key & Peele to tell a diverse set of stories. “We’d like to thank Comedy Central for giving us the opportunity to show the African-American experience as not a monolith, because it’s not,” he said. “It’s so many different stories and the danger of the world sometimes is trying to assign a single story to an entire group of people.” Mr. Key and Mr. Peele met as improv comedians in Chicago and performed together for five seasons on the Fox show “Mad TV.” Aside from starring on Key & Peele, both were executive producers and lead writers. Mr. Key told TheWrap that they plan to continue collaborating. “We might make a movie and then do our own thing for three years and then come back and do another movie,” he said. “There’s lots of stuff we have cooking up.” That's cool. Inside Amy Schumer is a much better show any day, and not because she's white - it's because she's actually funny.

Hulk made a hulkish mistake

Hulk Hogan's WWE contract has been terminated following allegations made by RadarOnline.com and National Enquirer magazine that he made racist comments on an unauthorised sex tape in 2012. World Wrestling Entertainment announced yesterday that they were releasing the Hall of Fame Superstar as reports broke on RadarOnline.com and via National Enquirer that Hogan had allegedly used the 'N-word' while complaining to ex-lover Heather Clem - the former wife of his friend Bubba 'The Love Sponge' Clem - about his daughter Brooke Hogan's apparent taste in men on an unauthorised sex tape recorded in 2012. The tape is the subject of an upcoming court case between the grappling icon and Gawker.com. A statement released by the company - who rehired the multi-time world champion in 2014 - read: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers, and fans worldwide." It serves him right. If my niece or nephew started dating someone of a different ethnic background, I wouldn't complain about it, and I most certainly wouldn't be using the applicable racial slurs about them.

THE FILM BEAT: Ant-Man

Great use of 3D. Great storyline. Great powers on the part of the titular superhero. The only thing that could be greater is if the Justice League and the Avengers were in a movie together, because seriously, when do you get to see DC and Marvel characters together?

La guerre de tabac starts to smoke

And speaking of smoking, the mask is being applied to speed cameras throughout France. And no, I do NOT mean Jim Carrey. I mean this: France's tobacconists are protesting plans to force cigarette companies to use plain, unbranded packaging, by disabling traffic speed cameras. The radar 'hooding' - by covering them with bin liners - is symbolic: a 'cover up' that deprives the government of money in the same way that the anti-smoking legislation will reduce tobacco sales, and tax revenue, the protesters say. The first hooding took place over a month ago, and, by this week, speed trap cameras in as many as 20 of 97 districts had been affected, according to the group representing France's tabac bars, the Buralistes Confederation. Many of the tabac outlets, with their distinctive red cigar-shaped signs, are also bars and cafes. Some sell stamps and newspapers too, but they point out that a key function on their monopoly on tobacco sales is collecting tobacco tax: €14 billion for the French Treasury every year, according to the confederation. No responsible treasury should need to line their pockets with funds obtained from the sale of such an evil poison. Those things are called cancer sticks for a reason.

Je suis Richards

A New Zealander who topped the French Scrabble world without actually being able to speak the language got a standing ovation after his win - but needed a translator to thank the audience. Nigel Richards, originally from Christchurch but now living in Malaysia, defeated a rival from French-speaking Gabon at the final in Louvain, Belgium, on Monday. He took out his competition, Schelick Ilagou Rekawe, winning two of three matches: 370-427, 484-376, 565-434. Scrabble blogger Dzibz said on an online post, that Mr Richards may have even won his first game, if only time had not gone against him and run out. The New Zealander received a standing ovation after his win - but needed a translator to thank his audience. He is said to be participating in more Scrabble competitions this week. On Wednesday he is to play a version of the game called Duplicate, where all players start with the same letters and play against a computer - eliminating any chance of luck. His newly-acquired French fans will be watching to see just how he can surprise them next. Dzibz says while Mr Richards was an outsider to the French scrabble world he didn't believe the Kiwi was done. I don't either.

BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Keeping this gem from us

And by gem, I don't mean the ones you get for breaking all the boxes in a level. Animation believed to be from a Crash Bandicoot cartoon series that never aired is in fact a cutscene proposed for the original game and likewise left on the cutting room floor, according to this video uploaded Friday by the game's producer:

"This video is test animation that was done for Crash Bandicoot," said David Siller. "Produced by Universal Animation early in the development of the game. It was based on ideas for where we were going with this IP at that time. It was probably too ambitious in nature and was also trying to be humorous," adding "it was never used or even embedded in the game as a hidden 'easter egg' treat. There are many close to the development of the original game that do not even know that this material even existed." Crash Bandicoot, which launched in 1996, was a production of Universal Interactive Studios, which brought on Naughty Dog to handle development. Siller said later in comments that the plan was for the animated scenes to be source material for a full animated series, provided the game was successful and well received. Then Sony got involved and licensed the game, and didn't want the animated scenes because "they were heavily pushing the 3D agenda" at the time. I think Crash should have his own animated series. Better yet, Spyro should get his own series.

Their Royal Heilnesses?

Buckingham Palace scolded Rupert Murdoch's top-selling Sun tabloid on Saturday for publishing a previously unknown film from 1933 that appears to show Britain's Queen Elizabeth performing a Nazi salute as a young girl. The black-and-white film from the year Adolf Hitler came to power purports to show future British king Edward VIII instructing his nieces, the current monarch Elizabeth, aged about six or seven at the time, and her three-year-old sister, Princess Margaret, how to perform the Nazi salute. Dancing and smiling with little apparent understanding of the salute's significance as a sign of obedience to Hitler, the two young girls are encouraged by Edward to briefly perform the raised right-arm gesture in the grounds of Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The Sun published the story and the 17-second film on its website under the headline “Their Royal Heilnesses". Edward also raises his arm, as does his sister-in-law, the Queen Mother. That's nothing compared to what the Queen and her sister got up to on VE Day. She did a good job keeping that night a secret for 70 years. I wonder what other hidden treasures exist from her younger days.

Guess who's back, back again? Blue Bell's back, tell a friend!

For more than a century, Blue Bell ice cream has played off its roots as a favorite Southern treat from tiny Brenham, Texas, to quietly become one of America’s biggest brands — the third-largest ice cream maker last year. Last year, it sold 6.4 percent of America’s ice cream. Now, it accounts for none. The company hasn’t sold a scoop since April, when it halted production after Listeria-tainted ice cream sickened people in four states. But months after the outbreak put the company in dire straits, it may have been tossed a lifeline by one of Texas’ most prominent businessmen. Earlier this week, the company announced a “significant investment” from billionaire Sid Bass, and the company says it may soon be able to start making test batches of ice cream again. But the only comeback I'm interested in is if Louis van Gaal can start bringing in some silverware. If Manchester United can win the Premiership, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the Champions League next season, then LVG would prove to be a major asset to the team.

The W-Fi extender to end all Wi-Fi extenders

Rhino Security founder Benjamin Caudill has created a tool to help privacy pundits (and criminals) connect to wireless networks from a distance of four kilometres, in a bid to foil eavesdropping authorities. The Proxyham Raspberry Pi hardware box is a complement to toolkits such as Tor that mask the source of web traffic. Prolific security prober Caudill told Motherboard the device would be placed at the Wi-Fi source to beam a signal at 900MHz to distant users. "We consider this the last or worst case scenario, the absolute fallback plan if everything else fails," Caudill says. "You can have it all the way across town, and worst case scenario the police go barge into the library across town." Caudill will sell the box at cost for about US$200. Users who wish to build their own will be able to check out the hardware schematics and open source software when it is detailed at Defcon in August. The device is about the size of a large router and sports three antennas. Caudill will work to alter the physical profile of the box cramming it into the form of a book such that it allows libraries to be turned into persistent hotspots. The box will also be upgraded with self-destruction features, capturing the surrounding audio during the unit's final moments to help the user identify their pursuers. It will come as no surprise that people on the sides of both good and evil would appreciate having such a tool available, including but not limited to the likes of privacy advocates, political dissidents, and would-be online drug lords. Having any good enough Wi-Fi extender, though, is better than nothing when you just want to use your home network on the go.

WHO DID IT BETTER: The embedded SIM

Apple and Samsung are reportedly in talks to collaborate on a shared format for hardware to replace SIM cards - hardware which would be embedded in the device and thus would not be swappable between devices. This is according to the Financial Times, which claims the two tech giants are seeking a standard that would see the SIM card embedded in devices and reconfigured on the fly. The talks are also reported to involve a number of major phone carriers from around the world. Vodafone, AT&T, Orange, and Deutsche Telekom were listed as some of those involved. Apple have, in fact, already gone on the record as looking for a way to cut the removable SIM out of its products. Last year, Apple equipped its iPad Air and iPad Mini models with a soft SIM card that was able to switch between carriers. A standard for embedded SIMS would have some benefits for all parties involved, but this new development will have one drawback: you can't put the same number in another device or change the number - or at least not by swapping the SIMs. But if the embedded SIM does become a thing, the question will be one of whether it was Apple or Samsung who did it better. So who do you think will do it better?

New flag in town

Let's face it - New Zealand has had the same flag since 1902, and some of us think it's time to ditch it. First off, there is a huge eyesore in the top left called a Union Jack. Not only can the Union Jack be confused with a Confederate flag, it's Britain's flag and should not be foisted onto those of other sovereign nations. Second, it's too similar to some other countries' flags, including but not limited to Australia. But there is talk of changing it, and even I'm throwing my hat into the ring. Here's my design:

Either love the scumbags or leave the Emirates

They could have just washed her mouth out with soap, but instead Abu Dhabi officials threw Austrailian Jodi Magi in jail for posting a picture of a parked car online, Australia's ABC News reports. It started in February when Magi, annoyed at a driver who took up two handicap-parking spaces in her apartment's lot, posted a photo of the car on Facebook. The 39-year-old didn't include any identifying elements in the photo, but the next thing she knew, a complaint was filed and she was in an Abu Dhabi courtroom, where she was found guilty under a UAE cybercrime law of "writing bad words on social media about a person," hit with a $2,700 fine, and told she'd be deported from Abu Dhabi, where she's lived since 2012. Asked by the ABC what she had done, she replied, "I have zero idea. I used the Internet." She adds she was forced to sign documents written in Arabic, with no translation provided. I think the problem here is the inconsiderate scumbag who parked on two handicap spaces. They shouldn't have even been parking on one of those spaces unless they had a permit.

BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Photographers who muck about

Prince Philip, the 94-year-old husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth well-known for occasional verbal gaffes, has been caught on camera swearing at a photographer. At an event to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain between the RAF and the Luftwaffe in 1940, TV footage showed an exasperated Philip appearing to lose his temper during a photocall. More specifically, he was quoted as saying "Just take the f****** picture". Maybe we would be better off if the photographer would just take the f****** picture.

Just installed the iOS 9 beta

And so far, it's not that different except for the new font and the small letters on the keyboard.

Guess who's back, back again? Stability's back, tell a friend!

That's right, guys - the most stable iOS yet is available in beta form. Just to be clear, iOS 9 beta is now available to the public for the first time ever and users can download it on their iPhones and iPad. Users can sign for the iOS 9 (and OS X El Capitan) public beta access here. Apple warns you that this a beta version of the OS, which means it is still full of bugs and errors and that ideally you should not install this on your primary iOS device, but rather an older device if you have one. So what’s new in iOS 9? Well in terms of design it looks pretty similar to iOS 8, other than the big font change. As The Verge notes, iOS 9 ditches Helevtica Neue for San Francisco font by Apple. Additionally 9to5Mac reports that the iOS 9 beta 3 which was released to developers has a separate album for Selfies and that Siri does not make the usual ‘Ding’ sound when activated. But seriously, this is a beta so proceed with caution.

How much Moore can his Law take?

Not too much because IBM are loading 20 billion transistors on a chip only 7 nm thick. Sounds too good to be true, but it ain't.

THE BIG REVIEW: Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac

This is the last of four candidates to replace the Bad Idea of the Week later this year. In this feature, I will post a review of anything in particular. This month, the Big Review will be the newly-released Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. More once I've actually tried it out.

Whoa, hold on - is that car seat in the front seat?

Yes. Yes, it is. You heard right - car maker Volvo is turning heads and creating buzz online with its new concept for child-safety seats in an unexpected area of the vehicle — right next to Mom or Dad. The company said the new approach could make it easier for parents to get their kids in and out of the car and keep an eye on baby as they drive. "Volvo Cars has completely re-imagined how children could travel safely in cars of the future," the company said on its YouTube channel. "Shown in the XC90 Excellence, this concept is innovatively designed to make it easier to get the child in and out of the seat without compromising comfort. It also provides a safe rear-facing seating position that brings parent and child closer together, and includes smart storage for vital child accessories." The new concept involves removing the front passenger seat and replacing it with a raised platform outfitted with child-safety seat that can swivel and then lock in place in a rear-facing position. When the infant or toddler is buckled in, he or she can choose to babble at the driver or at passengers in the backseat. But is it safe? In the United States, young children are required to sit in the backseat for safety reasons, and depending on state, parents are urged to keep them back there until age 12. For its part, though, Volvo said of its new child-safety seat that "from a safety perspective there is no difference between the rear seat or front seat, given that the airbag is disconnected." Here's how I see it: I don't have kids, so I won't be needing this for the foreseeable future. My sister might want one, so they can have one parent sitting in the back beside Hazel (my 29-month-old niece) and also being able to keep an eye on Oscar (my 8½-month-old nephew), who will be riding shotgun in the included seat.

Subway dumps Jared

Investigators raided the Indiana home of longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle yesterday, seizing electronics in a search that the sandwich chain says might be linked to the earlier arrest of someone who once worked for him. Agents took computers from Fogle's home in Zionsville, just north of Indianapolis, after arriving at about 6am local time, Fogle attorney Ron Elberger said, without disclosing what they were looking for. Elberger said Fogle, the man who soared to fame 15 years ago after saying he shed more than 200 pounds in part through a Subway diet, has not been arrested or charged with any crime. The raid comes more than two months after Russell Taylor, former executive director of the Jared Foundation (Fogle's organization that aspires to combat childhood obesity), was arrested in Indianapolis on federal child pornography charges. Authorities haven't said anything linking the search at Fogle's home to that case or any other investigation. Fogle became the Subway restaurant chain’s pitchman after shedding 245 pounds more than 15 years ago, in part by regularly eating Subway sandwiches. Subway began featuring Fogle in commercials soon after, and his story was instrumental in giving the sandwich chain an image as a healthy place to eat. During a search of Taylor’s home in May, federal investigators say they discovered a cache of sexually explicit photos and videos Taylor allegedly produced by secretly filming minor children at the home. They said they also allegedly found more than 400 videos of child pornography on computers and storage media recovered from Taylor’s home office in his Indianapolis residence. And if they find any more of that crap on the stuff seized from Jared, then I hope he gets what's coming to him. And speaking of coming, an NYPD sergeant has been suspended after a co-worker claimed he threw semen on her inside of police headquarters. The sergeant, identified as Michael Iscenko, allegedly tossed semen on the unidentified woman near a freight elevator at 1 Police Plaza. The victim — who worked with Iscenko in the Organized Crime Control Bureau — reported the recent incident immediately after it happened. The substance that was splattered on her was tested and determined to be semen, but it has not yet been determined if it was Iscenko’s semen. That is just disgusting and he should be fired.

BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Taxless tobacco

A World Health Organization report says taxing cigarettes to more than 75 percent of their retail price is the most effective way to reduce tobacco use, but that too few governments levy high enough taxes. The WHO's 2015 report on the global tobacco epidemic, released in Manila today, says more than half of the world's countries, encompassing about 2.8 billion people, have implemented at least one of six sets of agreed-upon tobacco-control policies. But it says many nations continue to have very low tobacco tax rates or no taxes at all. The report and officials say tobacco taxation could be a key source of funding to implement health and development goals. Seriously, there's plenty of money for governments the world over to be making from Big Tobacco. They've been making undeserved profits from pumping their poison into our lungs for too long and it's time somebody stood up to them.

X Factor auditions to be X'd

'The X Factor' auditions have been cancelled following the death of Simon Cowell's mother. A spokesperson for Syco Entertainment has confirmed that the planned events - the first of which was set to take place in Manchester later today - will not now go ahead after the death of 89-year-old Julie Brett, which follows a lengthy health battle that Simon had chosen to keep private. Speaking last night, the spokesperson said: "They were due to start tomorrow and carry on into Tuesday and Wednesday. Tomorrow's have been cancelled and we have not made any decisions beyond that." Meanwhile, a show insider has revealed the news has upset everyone connected to the ITV programme. They should cancel that crap altogether. The entire genre is the worst excuse for "entertainment" that the world has had to suffer through.

He's gonna start the marriage

Billy Joel has married his girlfriend Alexis Roderick in a surprise ceremony at the singer's Long Island estate. A spokeswoman for the star, who has been married three times before, revealed that the couple exchanged vows while they were hosting a Fourth of July party celebrating Independence Day. She said the small group of family and friends at the get-together did not know the couple were planning to get married. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo presided over the nuptials and those in attendance included Alexa Ray Joel, his 29-year-old daughter with model Christie Brinkley. But all I can say is congratulations. Just don't stuff it up like many other couples do.

To boldly name what nobody has named before

The quest to find out the new title of the Star Trek franchise's next movie is finally over. Director Justin Lin has just revealed on his Twitter account the title of the next film. "Let the next Starfleet voyage begin! #StarTrekBeyond #LLAP," he posted. That's right, "Star Trek Beyond" will be the next title of the film. He also made reference to Spock's famous saying, "live long and prosper," and posted a picture of the Starfleet: United Federation of Planets badges from a costume. Paramount Pictures also shared the picture on their official Facebook page with the caption, "JUST ANNOUNCED #StarTrekBeyond." And speaking of beyond, it will be beyond horrible if the Hurricanes win tonight. At time of posting, it is almost half-time and they are losing 6-0. Final score will be posted later tonight.

UPDATE: The Highlanders beat the Hurricanes 21-14 in the Super Rugby final.

ONE-LINE CHALLENGE: The Super Rugby Final

The Highlanders better win tomorrow.

Dukes to be duked

The Wi-Fi at my house may be back, but this hot piece can't wait until later tonight. US cable network TV Land has pulled re-runs of the 1980s sitcom Dukes of Hazzard, amid controversy over portrayals of the Confederate flag, which is notably featured on the show's "General Lee" vehicle. Viacom-owned TV Land declined to comment on why it has pulled the re-runs, but there has been growing criticism of displays of the Civil War-era flag in the wake of the shooting of nine black churchgoers in South Carolina last month. The man arrested in the shooting, Dylann Roof, is a 21-year-old white man who had posed with a Confederate battle flag in photos posted on a website that displayed a racist manifesto attributed to him. Dukes of Hazzard ran from 1979 to 1985 and centered on the fictional Duke family, who lived in rural Georgia. An orange car bearing a Confederate flag design of the roof and nicknamed "General Lee" was regularly featured in the show. Fans of the program took to social media to express frustration with TV Land's decision. A Change.org petition to bring the show back had more than 6300 supporters as of Thursday morning. This marks the latest effort to banish the racially charged Stars and Bars from pop culture after various states began debating whether to remove the flag, and it's one of the few that have gone too far. The General Lee, believe it or not, is one of few places where a Confederate flag belongs. And with today's photo-editing technology, they could've just digitally removed the flag in scenes featuring the car for the time being if it's that big a deal.

BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Forgetting it was supposed to be done on the Tuesday

But let's not worry about that because Donald Trump is suing Univision for US$500 million after his disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants prompted the leading Spanish-language broadcaster to drop its July telecast of the Miss USA pageant. The suit, filed in New York by his Miss Universe Organization, called Univision's decision "in reality, a politically motivated attempt to suppress Mr. Trump's freedom of speech under the First Amendment as he begins to campaign for the nation's presidency." He accuses Univision of violating their multi-year deal. "Always fight back when right," Trump tweeted. Univision Networks' president of programming, Alberto Ciurana, was named as a co-defendant. In a photo he posted to his Instagram account, Ciurana compared Trump to Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old man charged with murdering nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church. That is a rather unfair comparison to be making, but if that's how Univision feel about Donald Trump right now, then they were right to drop Miss USA from their lineup. And besides, beauty pageants are one of the biggest wastes of airtime around, even without the excessively dolled-up children you see at some of those things.
