aLtNXZ vs iVn.weTTowel in the finals at VroomVroomVroom cast by Duckvillelol, there is spoiler at the end of the VOD about who won.
Unfortunately Duckvillelol doesn't have enough time to put entire series on his youtube channel, was a Bo7, of the two games on his Youtube I like this one (Game 2?) the best, Game 1

Nerd News: Higgs Boson
The Higgs Boson discovery, announced July 4, 2012 is big news in science, but if your not a Physicist you are probably wondering what the big deal is, this youtube from MinutePhysics does a good job of explaining it IMO.

WhiteRa vs Kas Mothership Rush!
Figured everyone has heard about this from previous post of mine or Reddit or TL, so not spoiling it by saying it is a n awesome Mothership Rush ^_^
Very cool game.
Another very cool Mothership Rush from WhiteRa

NanMan recently cast an Event where Jacks faced another Toss that tried this build, but it failed, like Jacks said, he is probably the best defensed Terran vs this build, since WhiteRa did to him so long ago ^_^

ACTA defeated in EU

Good News.
As always with Ars, I suggest reading through the comments, often you will find more information in comments section of Ars than in the article itself.

Nerd News: Retroactive Security?
http://bristolcrypto.blogspot.com/2012/07/retroactive-security.html
Link above is to a Cryptography/Computer Security blog I follow, mentions a talk by Butler Lampson from Microsoft Research, Lampson suggets using Banking security model as example to follow for computer security.
I don't think I agree with that at all, there are such huge problems with online Banking that at least some experts suggest using a Live CD to reduce vulnerability.

Nerd News: "Top EU court upholds right to resell downloaded software"
Some really big news IMO http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/07/top-eu-court-upholds-right-to-resell-downloaded-software/
Maybe this is the start of a more reasonable balance between current situation, and consumer rights?
What do you think?
I know if us followed suit on this, it would probably change my buying habits.
I don't spend much money on software, including games, for various reasons.
I do buy the best hardware for my needs as I can afford, but I have to be careful with how many games I let myself have, because it is to easy for games to take over my life, so I get nothing else done.
Additionally, for software in general and games in particular, I don't like spending a big chunk of money on something that I will only use for a few weeks.
I do put a lot of money into books, but if I spend $25-30 on a book, I know that 5 or 10 years later I can read it again no problem, or if I know I won't want to read it again I can sell or trade it for another book.
With computer games, or other software, after 5 or 10 years, I might not be able to play the game at all, or if I can I will need additional software to let me run it, usually with bugs and crashes, on modern computer and OS.
