Microsoft's Halo Reach Game Exposed Too Early

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Halo Reach is scheduled for the
world's eyes on the 14th of
September, but showed-up on file
sharing sites.

The game is about players in the
role of an elite solider battling
for control of planet Reach.

This is the final chapter of the
series, which was developed by
Bungie for Xbox 360.

It's reported that the game was
exposed, leaked, after it was
opened to select journalists/
reviewers through Microsoft's
online Xbox store.

Videos of the game popped-up on
YouTube within hours of being
available.

"We are still investigating details
surrounding a claimed leak of Halo
Reach, and have nothing further to
share," Microsoft remarked.

People attempting to play unauthorized
copies of Halo Reach could face
sanctions, Stephen Toulouse cautioned
on Twitter- Director of Policy and
Enforcement for Xbox Live.

The End of Google's Wave

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

The Wave has not seen the adoption we
would have liked, and elements of Wave's
technology- including drag/drop and
character-by-character live typing are an
open source. Users can "liberate their
content from Wave", Google explained in a
post last night.

Google stated it will stop development on
the Wave cross platform tool that was launched
in May of 2009.

The Wave design appeared to replace e-mail,
and other tools.

The problem was it didn't appeal to many, or
people didn't know about the Wave.

"Remember, we celebrate our failures. This
is a company where it's absolutely okay to
try something that's very hard, have it not
be successful, and learn from that," Eric
Schmidt, Chief Executive.

Unfortunately, The Wave was one of those
failures.
