Paid ~$7M over 6 years, and now off to her next Moon-Shot. If only we could actually shoot them to the moon.

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.

The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster

We're looking for a new multimedia editor at Crikey. Details in the link. You might have noticed, there's quite a lot of news happening these days. It will be fun!
