Velcroman1 writes "The former island home of anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee burned down Thursday afternoon under circumstance he told FoxNews.com were 'suspicious.' It's an odd choice of words from a man whom the Belize police found suspicious, following the November 2012 murder of American expatriate Gregory Faull, a well-liked builder from Florida who was shot at his home in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye. 'I believe that there are a select few with great power in Belize that will go to great lengths to harm me,' McAfee said. 'This fire was not just a strange coincidence.'" Watch for more from McAfee soon. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

For today’s edition of Deal of the Day, Amazon offers 33% off or more (+ free shipping) on all versions of BioShock Infinite (Xbox 360/PS3/PC). BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you’ve never seen. Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins, and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with deep emotional bonds. [33% Off (or More!) on BioShock Infinite + FREE SHIPPING]

In association with Studio Ghibli, England’s Whole Hog Theatre premiered its stage adaptation of Hiyao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke earlier last month, and every show played to a sell-out crowd. Whole Hog recently brought the show to Japan, appropriately enough. To emphasize the ecological theme of the story, all the puppets were made from recycled materials. [Via Crunchy Roll]
