Among all the new games revealed at the E3 show this year, one of the titles I’m most excited about is over 15 years old. Sony has secured a remastered version of Grim Fandango, a wacky adventure game from LucasArts and Tim Schafer, for the PS4 and PS Vita. We got an early look at a small part of the game at a Sony preview event this week. The remastering process is still ongoing, so the graphics I saw are far from final, but they do give a sense of what Double Fine has planned for the game. The original artwork for Grim Fandango was…

Every smartphone on the planet has a camera, sometimes more than one. And for every smartphone camera, there are – it would seem – a bazillion apps you can use to shoot, edit, store and share photos as well as fashion them into albums, books, postcards, cookies, you name it.

BING!
What’s more, if I type the name of a field that’s not already in the PivotTable over the existing PageField name:
…then Excel does something else intelligent: it says “Oh, you want me to bring that PageField into the Pivottable for you.”
The same thing in terms of adding new Fields goes for RowFields:
If you think about it, the adding of the fields is the same behavior as simply overtyping fields already in the PivotTable to rearrange them.
Regardless, now that this secret’s out, I don’t have to chip the sticky crap from my Mouse. As Phyllis Diller once said…Housework can’t kill you, but why take a chance? No, I don’t know who she is, either.
Instagram stopped working this afternoon, with the mobile apps not refreshing and the desktop page showing a “500 Internal Server Error.” We first noticed the outage at 4:50 PM ET, with staff in North America confirming the issue. The outage comes less than two months after the last bit of downtime. We’ve reached out to the company for more information and will update if we hear back. Update: Instagram tweeted the following: We’re aware of an issue affecting Instagram, and working on a fix. Thanks for your patience. — Instagram (@instagram) October 10, 2014 Update 2: And we’re back!
