For the past few years, we have worked on expanding Steam beyond games and software by building a video platform that supports paid and free video content. In reviewing what Steam users actually watch, it became clear we should focus our effort on offering content that is either directly related to gaming or, is accessory content for games or software sold on Steam. As part of this refocus, we have retired the Video section of the Steam Store menu with an expectation that video content is discovered via the associated game or software store page, or through search, user tags, recommendations, etc. Over the coming weeks a number of non-gaming videos will be retired and will no longer be available for purchase. Previously purchased content will remain available to owners. via Steam RSS News Feed "http://bit.ly/2NfRYRV"

The Trump Administration has released a comprehensive National Cyber Strategy (NCS) that, if fully implemented, could address claims that the critical issue of current cyberspace threats are not being taken seriously enough. The report outlines a plan that spans all federal agencies, directing how they should work separately and in tandem with private industry and the public to detect and prevent cyber attacks before they happen, as well as mitigate damage in the aftermath. The NCS is the first formal attempt in 15 years to plan and implement a national policy for the cyber arena and takes the form of a high-level policy statement rather than the more targeted method of a Presidential directive. The plan offers plenty in the way of big picture goals, but critics will watch to to see whether forthcoming details will emerge in the coming months and years to fill in the gaps with specific action. With the release , the Administration formally recognizes that cyberspace has become s...
