Chris Roberts' vacation fund has reached a new milestone.

With your help we can get this up to 1 billion, which will ensure that Chris gets to visit more places and can enjoy more of the local cuisine. Oh, yeah, and it helps the game get finished sooner, of course.

A massive crowd of around 20k people cheered "China! Serbia!".

I was having a discussion about filmmakers with a friend, and when Uwe Boll came up, I couldn't help but think about that meltdown over his failed crowdfunding campaigns when he uploaded a video titled "fuck you all".

Cindy Picos was dropped by her home insurer last month. The reason: aerial photos of her roof, which her insurer refused to let her see.

"I thought they had the wrong house," said Picos, who lives in northern California. "Our roof is in fine shape."

Her insurer said its images showed her roof had "lived its life expectancy." Picos paid for an independent inspection that found the roof had another 10 years of life. Her insurer declined to reconsider its decision.

Across the U.S., insurance companies are using aerial images of homes as a tool to ditch properties seen as higher risk.

Nearly every building in the country is being photographed, often without the owner's knowledge. Companies are deploying drones, manned airplanes and high-altitude balloons to take images of properties. No place is shielded: The industry-funded Geospatial Insurance Consortium has an airplane imagery program it says covers 99% of the U.S. population.
