Coming Tonight: The Biggest Announcement in WTC History
Last night, we gave you forums. Tonight, we’re dropping news of the biggest thing to hit the site since we started the VIP area early last year.
If you don’t already have a VIP account, you’re going to want one. It’s going to be a very merry Christmas this year.

The WTC Forums
UPDATE: Je-sus. More than 175 people have created an account in the past 24 hours.
UPDATE: We’ve received more than 40 applications for admin positions. Please bear with us while we sort through the emails and make our selections.
By popular demand (and a promise that we made to you guys quite a while ago), the official What The Christ? forums are now online and ready for use.
The rules are simple.
- Do not embed or link to anything illegal.
- Show respect to other users.
- Listen to admins.
Right now, you’re limited to ten images per post. Each image can be up to 2,048KB.
We’re going to be bringing on some administrators and making some changes and additions over the next few weeks – plug-ins, maybe a few more boards, etc.
If you’re interested in being an administrator, email me.
UP NEXT: We’re working on a permanent IRC channel.

Microsoft and Nintendo Cash In
This past week has been a good one for Microsoft and Nintendo.
MS announced that they’ve sold 2.5 million Kinect controllers in the first 25 days since it became available in stores. Nintendo, on the other hand, has been busy doling out the Wii and the new DS to customers like never before. In the past week alone, they’ve moved an astonishing 600,000 Wii consoles and 900,000 DS units.
And that’s not even counting the Cyber Monday sales spike.

80,000,000 Trees Added to Google Earth 6
The sixth version of Google Earth is now available for download – and it’s got Street View images and more than 80,000,000 rendered trees this time around.
The sheer depth of this software is really starting to surprise (and frighten) me.

Care Package Carnage
The odds of something like this are one in a million. This is why the Theater feature is so important. I wish more games implemented something similar.

271 Picasso Paintings Discovered in Paris
French police discovered that a 71 year old man was hiding 271 works of art created by Picasso worth roughly £50 million. The man claims that Picasso gave him the collection in exchange for odd jobs that he carried out at the famous painter’s home more than 40 years ago. Picasso’s son Claude, however, thinks that the works were stolen.
Police arrested the man, whose name is Pierre Le Guennec. It’s unclear at this time how he is to be charged. The Telegraph has the full story.

Major U.S. Bank is Next Wikileaks Target
Julian Assange revealed yesterday in an exclusive interview with Forbes that the next Wikileaks release will expose what he calls an “ecosystem of corruption” in banking. The whistleblower site supposedly has tens of thousands of internal documents that will make public the presumably shady internal dealings of a major U.S. bank.
It just keeps getting deeper.

Comcast Lashing Out at Netflix?
Level 3 Communications, an online networking company based out of Colorado that carries video feeds for Netflix, is crying foul over Comcast’s demand that they pay fees for delivering the content to subscribers. This undoubtedly has everything to do with the strain that Netflix streaming places on Comcast’s infrastructure, which is really beginning to show its age as new digital video streaming services beginning popping up.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this one plays out. I’m guessing that it won’t be long before lawyers get involved and the whole thing ends up in court.
