Report: Kinect Based DRM for the Xbox One May Apply Additional Fees Based on the Number of People Watching a Movie
An old patent filed by Microsoft for the upcoming Kinect bundled with the Xbox One may serve as a very restrictive and annoying form of visual DRM. The technology at work in the patent will utilize Kinect's always-on camera to determine how many people are sitting in an area watching a movie on the Xbox One. If the number of...

A rather significant and probably appreciated update was just released for the Team Fortress 2 beta mere moments ago. I say appreciated, because server owners will notice that the install size is now reduced by about 7.5GB.

Changelog for Team Fortress 2 beta for February 27, 2013
- Fix custom audio sometimes using data from wrong sound cache.
- Sound cache for official shipping content now updated with the game, clients no longer need to compute it
- Misc audio system optimizations
- VPK structure changes. Deleted "models" and "materials", added "textures".
- Reordered files in VPK's to optimize load times by limiting disk seeking.
- Dedicated server: removed textures and sounds from dedicated server distribution. Installation size reduced by approx 7.5GB
- Synced with TF release

Please note that, as a result of the VPK reordering, this update will be a large download. The server download is approximately 500MB. The client download is approx 2GB.

You can hop into the TF Beta yourself through your Steam client, or simply wait it out for the update to leave beta later on down the road. If you do test, be sure to report bugs where appropriate!
