Unity was actually born out of a failed game called GooBall. While the game was not commercially successful, the developers recognized the value of the engine and tools they had created, and decided to roll them into their own separate project intended as a developer toolkit. It was a hit and it birthed the Unity we know and love today.

I think one of the craziest things I discovered is that a huge amount of all the media in America is controlled by just a few companies. Some of them are GE (Comcast, NBC), News-Corp (Fox, NY Post), Disney (ABC, ESPN), Time Warner (CNN, Warner Bros.) and CBS.

In the 1980s for example, 90% of the media was shared over 50 companies. Now that has become 6 companies.

Hey. I have put up a message on http://www.truthbot.org/.

Basically no one was signing up or contributing and I realized it was fundamentally flawed. I am working really hard to get the new version out.

I love the Associated Press. But with Truthbot I hope to be able to read articles from anywhere and be able to get the whole story.

I honestly don't know how we got here. As I discussed in another answer a huge amount of the media is controlled by a staggeringly small amount of companies.

I think the desire for those companies to protect their interests often gets in the way of good journalism. I think it needs to be more decentralized, which is what I'm trying to do.
