In 2008, Marvel Comics released one of their most famous movies, Iron Man. This movie was the first in a series of new comic book movies. In September of 1963, writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby created a team of superheroes called the Avengers, which consisted of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Incredible Hulk. Now, with the Iron Man movies out of the way, they are going to be making a movie based on the Avengers.

Marvel has decided to make a few movies for some of the other characters before putting them all into one movie. A movie about Captain America be released in July of 2011, along with Thor in May of 2011. So far, a movies based on Hawkeye and Black Widow have not been announced. The Incredible Hulk has had a plethora of movies, but a different actor will play Bruce Banner in the Avengers movie, which is scheduled to release in 2012.

Micron Technology is a company most famous for producing DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), a type of flash memory for computers. They are the largest memory chip producer in the United States, and are based in Boise, Idaho. They have announced that they will be purchasing Numonyx Memory Solutions, another huge flash memory company. They will make the purchase for $1.27 billion. No date has been set yet, but the agreement has been made. So, that being said, Micron is going to be impossible to catch, and will have a monopoly in the flash memory business sooner or later!

The above screenshots are from Infinity Ward’s new game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game’s controversial level, “No Russian”, has you filling the shoes of a CIA operative working undercover for a terrorist organization. In an attempt to get to the bad guy, you must follow him through a Russian airport, and begin shooting down innocent civilians. You make your way through the airport, and out onto the runway. On the runway, you face about 40 Russian police officers, and you shoot all of them as well. Little do you know, the bad guy knows that you’re an undercover American the entire time, and just as you’re getting into the getaway vehicle — you are killed. The bad guy shot you so that the remaining police officers would find an American body on the scene. The point of the shooting was to make the Russian government think that the Americans were responsible for the airport massacre, in an attempt to get the Russians to attack the United States. Well, their plan worked now the United States is going to be invaded by Russians — all on a false premise. (Remember, this is just a game.)

Writer’s Note: I myself have played through this entire game, and I must say, that without this scene of the game, the game would make no sense at all. The game would not have been complete, and would not have made me feel as though I had to complete the game and had to get back at those people for doing that. I think this is what Infinity Ward was trying to do with the scene in the first place, and I think that they succeeded in every single way.
