Big Batman deals on Steam this weekend, small Batman not on sale

The Steam signal burns in the night sky and Batman answers the call, probably because he isn’t wearing his glasses and the clouds make the Steam logo look like a diagonal bat if he squints. Batman: Arkham City is half off ($ 15) and Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition is 66 percent off ($ 7) this weekend on Steam, sale ending Monday, May 7.

You’d think Bruce would have the money to get Lasik, wouldn’t you?

Comcast deals blow to net neutrality, says own video service is exempt from bandwidth caps

Cable network operator and Internet service provider Comcast reportedly confirmed earlier this week that it would give its own video streaming service a huge advantage over rival services like Netflix. Showing blatant disregard for net neutrality principles, Comcast said this week that its video streaming service Xfinity will be exempt from the 250GB bandwidth cap it foists on subscribers, Raw Story reports.
