Whether it's local, international or viral, news has been present in our lives.
Surprised that there hasn't been a thread here yet (plus I'm super pissed that my tennis thread got removed), so let's start it with this:

The Montreal Transit threatening a CS:GO map maker for a "replica" of Berri-Uqam because of "copyrighted metro network"...

I live in Montreal and I find it silly that this guy is going under this for a simple CS map, plus that map looks nothing like Berri-UQAM!

Oh sweet, someone else who uses newsmap.jp.

I like to keep it on to impress friends with colorful news. Anyway, this thread does have potential so let's kick it off with a rumor.

According to 'sources' google is launching retail stores by the end of the year. 1. I think this totally goes with my theory that google is taking over the world. 2. I honestly hope for the best with these guys, especially with their supposed "X Phone" I want to see how exactly they move forward with this and see if they bring something new to the table that Apple and Microsoft don't already provide with their stores.

Sources: Wall Street Journal
BGR - X Phones

Edit: Forgot the sources :V

I'm having a pretty good time. Ask me things

You have obviously never heard of the deepweb, Google so puny.
And I honestly don't see the appeal of these smart phones other than applications, rather get a PSVITA instead of buying a phone just to play.

Apparently Raoul Castro will retire in 2018.
How do you even retire at dictating a communist country.
