English may have become the default lingua franca of many facets of the Web, but the fact remains that most people online speak a language other than English as their native tongue. For content producers, the myriad of different languages can be a headache, as it’s costly to reproduce words – spoken or written – for a multitude of markets.

Rapture. Big Daddies. Splicers. When 2K Games released BioShock in 2007, it captivated players with its decaying world, spine-tingling atmosphere and strong storytelling. Now, the game is available on iOS. As Polygon reports, the graphical fidelity has been lowered to accommodate various iPhone and iPad models. In addition, you’ll need to grapple with the new touchscreen controls – often an annoyance for first-person video games – or pair a Bluetooth controller to escape Rapture’s many dangers.

Samsung is again under-pressure over underage workers employed by its manufacturing partners in China. Barely a month after China Labor Watch uncovered underage workers at Shinyang Electronics, the same organization says that another supplier – HEG Electronics — has employed workers as young as 14 at its factories.
