    Worried about online security? You're not alone. Plenty of others worry, too; in fact, some even go so far as to do fewer things online because they're concerned about security and privacy.

    Well, it was fun while it lasted. If you're looking to flex your creative muscles and possibly trying out some game creation, you're going to have to look somewhere other than Microsoft's Xbox One platform—at least, if you're in that gray area between 'have no idea what you're doing" and "planning to develop and sell games for real." The company has officially cancelled its Project Spark half-game, half-platform, which allowed buyers to create their own little games within one big, console san..

    Dog fossil found in Maryland Could Reveal More about 'Bone Crusher'
    A 12-million-year-old fossil unearthed in Maryland represents a new dog species with a strong bite. The Journal Paleontology has published a study wherein the University of Pennsylvania researchers have explained Cynarctus wangi, a creature nearly the size of the present day coyote that probably would have acted slightly like a hyena. The dog would have roamed on Earth during the middle Miocene and belonged to an extinct family of dogs called bone crushers, because of their strong jaws and huge..

    There are some obvious concessions to gameplay (a medic probably wouldn't be carrying crutches around), but even some of these make sense. That British soldier carrying a German anti-armor rifle? There are many examples of one side using the other's weapons in a pinch. In fact, the trailer is more realistic than The Great War suggests. That seemingly implausible metal body armor you see at one point is the "Sappenpanzer Gesichtsmaske," an uncommon form of protection given to machine gunners..
