Enjoy taxidermy? Yeah, me too. This is a real mouse, gutted and fitted with parts from one of those small laptop mice. PETA members may want to look away, or go jump off a bridge, but I’m sure the mouse died from natural causes. Read More…

Starcraft 2 will be announced to the public on May 19th at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitation (WWI). On April 25th, according to the game company Blizzard Korea Entertainment, it is confirmed that they will announce Starcraft 2 demonstrating it with both videos and images. Furthermore, the developers of Starcraft 2 will be there, and have time to answer the questions. Starcraft 2 is being developed in 3D and there will be new race and some specific changes to remaining races. Details of only minor parts will be released at WWI. Blizzard invited more than a hundred of broadcasting teams from around the world for this announcement. Prior to this very secret moment on May 19th, they will not release any information. However, from the people who previously worked with Blizzard, there is trusted word about this information. A person who recently retired from Blizzard said there is development of Starcraft 2 and there will be an announcement. The chairman of Blizzard Korea said “we cannot answer anything about Starcraft 2, we will have a new game on 19th so please come and find outâ€. He refused to answer if new game is Starcraft 2. The shout caster “Um Jae Kyung†said “I expect it to be very balanced but have concerns regarding E-Sports, but I doubt there will be changes about E-sports in regards to Starcraft I. However, there will be most likely be another league for Starcraft II and e-sports will be much bigger. Since I’m one of the gamers, I’m very excited about thisâ€. The 3rd WWI will be on May 19th ~ 20th in Seoul, and it seems there will be a lot taking place.â€
Romanian media on Thursday debates the death of Raluca Stroescu, a young manager for Ernst&Young Romania, whose passing was blamed by a newspaper earlier this week on exhaustion at work. Raluca was buried at a cemetery in Ploiesti, north of Bucharest in the presence of the family and hundreds of young people yesterday.
Experts could not provide clear information on the causes of her death on Tuesday and Wednesday and that the necessary data will be available within weeks, but told reporters that she might have died of heart failure.
The Evenimentul Zilei newspaper on Wednesday reported that the background cause of the death was physical exhaustion as she was working too much for a salary of a couple of thousand euro, which is a very good salary in Romania.
Gardianul on Thursday quotes Raluca’s former colleagues who say that prior to her death she “was looking like a ghost. She was in a hurry. She had to put up a reportâ€. According to the newspaper, “Raluca had worked so hard to become somebody until she collapsed. Still, who is to blame?â€
“Is it worth dying for a salary of 2,000 euro?â€, Evenimentul Zilei wonders in its edition today. The newspaper reports that Raluca’s death has sparked a huge public response about the conditions of work Romanian employees have to cope with and whether is it a good thing to abandon personal life for the sake of money and career.
The issue of career opportunities and what one can do to seize them is very hot in Romania where economy has been booming for years and salaries are still low compared to other countries, prompting major companies abroad to relocate businesses here.
Gandul quotes a doctor who examined the woman’s body, according to whom Raluca was underfed as she weighed less than 40 kilos. “She was not eating or she couldn’t assimilate food†the doctor said, while others said she also had problems with her heart and hormones.
Raluca, 31, had been working for Ernst&Young Romania for two years and a half. She previously worked for Vodafone. E&Y’s only manager that could be contacted by Cotidianul yesterday refused to comment the tragedy.
