Talk about old school games, backgammon is definitely one of the oldest as well as one of the more "popular" ones around?
Backgammon is a board game for two players in which pieces are moved according to the roll of dice. The winner is the first to remove all of one's own pieces from the board. Many variants have developed throughout the world, but most share common elements. It is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.
*Blah, blah, blah*
Eventually, "people" decided to digitalize it to suit us, as in you and me, who lives in this modern society. Thus, it marks the birth of backgammon online!

You know, as much as I talk about how 'baby fever' hits me and I wouldn't mind having 2 more children, and other times I tease my kids by telling them I just want to squish them and keep them small. Well, tonight while surfing the internet I stumbled upon a news story that made me stop and re-think what I've only been joking about up to now! Imagine if you had a child that did stay small! What

As a hobby and an industry, modern video gaming has become as much about social interactivity as it is about game design. This has become even more so thanks to the integration of online connectivity, allowing players to compete or play alongside each other regardless of geographic boundaries.The idea of online gameplay may seem old hat to longtime PC gamers, but in the area of mainstream console gaming this remains a relatively new concept, only recently beginning to come into its own with the latest crop of consoles.Microsoft's enthusiasm for bringing online connectivity to the home console market has proved notably successful for the company, with its latest statistic finding more than 6 million gamers worldwide using Xbox Live for the Xbox 360, a milestone reached several months ahead of the company's June 2007 goal.Building upon this, the company is also working towards its ultimate goal of connecting Xbox Live players to users of Windows Vista and Windows Mobile enabled device
Speaking with Gamasutra, group product manager for Xbox Live, Aaron Greenberg, laid down some new specifics regarding the new Live Messenger functionality coming in the spring update. First, and most importantly, the service will be completely free to both Gold and Silver members. Big surprise, right? The Live Messenger integration is compatible with other versions of Messenger across the board, so users on 360 will be able to chat with users on PC and even mobile devices. Users can open up to 6 separate chats, but group chats are limited to 3 people. Greenberg uses the example of a player on a 360 chatting with a friend at work on a PC and a girlfriend on a cell phone all at once. We're not sure how often that kind of thing comes up, but it's cool nonetheless.Greenberg also makes a point to allay fears regarding the new thumbboard peripheral. Greenberg notes that the device is very light and shouldn't interfere with the gameplay experience. Furthermore, Greenberg says that he uses
Hank Greenberg may be gone, but he is not forgotten. Ousted by pressure from NY State's new governor, Greenberg built what is arguably the most successful insurance firm in the world. He now works in exile, perhaps appropriately, but his multi-decade effort still bears fruit.AIG profits more than doubled, to some extent because it did not have the huge hurricane related claims that it did last year.Life insurance contracts, a very steady source of revenue, hit $7 billion for the first nine months.AIG now trades at about $68.Greenberg left AIG in early 2005, under a cloud based on financial irregularities found at the insurer. Before he left, the stock was at a two year high of $73. It has not traded above that price since then. Under Greenberg the stock rose 80x from 1971.As Morningstar said recently: "AIG's multifaceted moat originates in a series of long-ago decisions that established a powerful distribution foundation and the sustained execution that built one of the insurance wo
