  1. Lightsaber: Input Device Of The (Near) Future

    Games · Games · · posted by timothy · from the the-force-is-strong-in-this-one dept. · 126 comments
    Jacek Fedorynski writes: "Take a look at Project Earthlight, described in this interview. Basically, this guy took a webcam and a lightsaber toy and turned them into a virtual saber duel. Sounds supercool to me. Plus, he gets a style bonus for quoting Carmack's .plan." (Admit it -- you're swinging your hands and making lightsaber noises.) Since I grouse a lot about the disconnect between controllers and game actions, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.

    Jacek Fedorynski writes "Rumors have been floating for a long time now, but this time it's official. Castle Wolfenstein 2000 is currently in development at Xatrix Entertainment, the creators of Kingpin, and is scheduled to hit the stores by Christmas 2000. I can't wait to see it. " The confirmation is at the end of the article - anyone have more details?

  3. No Next Q3Test

    Jacek Fedorynski writes "The Quake god recently interviewed on Slashdot, John Carmack, updated his .plan with word that there will be no next version of Q3Test - the next release will be a full demo with bot support and one more map (for beginners). The date of the release hasn't been set yet. Carmack also comments on the new Macintoshes. "

    Jacek Fedorynski writes "This CNN article titled "IBM putting a Big Blue stamp on Linux" confirms that IBM will support Linux in both the hardware and software areas. " Sort of position piece from IBM - recognizing the importance of open standards, and staking much of their future with Linux.

  5. IBM's Colorful Notebooks

    Ibm · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the i-want-one-of-#006666 dept. · 111 comments
    Jacek Fedorynski writes "This Yahoo article says that the new ThinkPads will have swappable snap-on covers - something like Nokia 5110 meets the iBook. :) Initially there will be seven colors to choose from, they will probably introduce more later. Another company realized that many people are more interested in how the machine looks that what it has inside. " Slashdot Green please. The interesting thing is that PCs have reached a point where most PCs are "Good Enough" and manufacturers need to get mindshare by doing something, anything special. Pre-Install Linux? Multi-Colors? Internal Wireless Networking?
