Microsoft entertainment and devices unit President Robbie Bach confirmed Thursday that Microsoft is buying Massive, a company that specializes in serving up ads that appear inside video games.

Announcement of the deal, which was reported last week by the Wall Street Journal, was timed to coincide with the advertiser conference, which ends today.

His brother describes the bomber as a good person. Tell that to the families of the deceased and wounded. Has the world changed the definition of a good person since I was in school? Such nonsense from people who feel that suicide bombings, torture, beheading, and outright murder are justifiable.

Grow up Bub... the government claims we're in a "war". What do you think... that it's okay to assassinate them with drone aircraft, but it's somehow "unfair" for them to retaliate?
