By default, if you enable this feature, you hear a bell “ding” when you hit someone with your gun. As of the 01/13/2010 update, Valve has enabled us to configure our own custom sound for this. The steps are simple: Get a custom file you want, Copy it to the appropriate TF2 folder, Edit the config file to tell TF2 where it is. That’s it!

Apparently due to some carefully targeted cyber attacks, Google is re-evaluating their relationship with China and has decided to stop censoring search results on Google.cn. Google has suggested the possibility of pulling business out of China if their government is not on board with this change. Big words from Google.

They have opened the doors to the general public to develop on the webOS platform. Palm is offering a great selection of options for developers to choose from. They can choose a $99 annual “full” account (fee waived for a limited time) or choose free options. Palm’s distribution differs from Apple in that they are allowing developers to use their own URL. All in all, it’s good news for Palm and its developers. For more information, visit this link: http://j.mp/8CHi8p
