Filed under: Videos , Gaming While you were gunning down zombies on Mars, Vincent Ocasla, an architecture student living in the Philippines, constructed a city to support 6 million people in Sim City 3000 .

It wasn’t especially close either: An estimated 23 million people watched DWTS a week ago, compared to a respective 21.8 million and 20.5 million viewers tuning into Idol . A rep for Nielsen attributed the aberration to “the Gosselin factor.” Hmm. Happy, Simon ? [ AP via Yahoo! ]

The Treasury Department will offer more than $3,000 in incentives to lenders and homeowners. Nearly 5 million people around United States are seriously delinquent on their mortgages. Some may be able to save their homes if they can negotiate a loan modification with a lower payment from a lender. But others simply don’t have enough income even for that. > > Read More Anti-Foreclosure Program Aims To Spur ‘Short Sales’ is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →
