Yahoo Readies New VoIP Service

Rob writes "Yahoo is readying to capture a larger piece of the VoIP market and will announce a new VoIP product during the next two weeks. The new service would be comparable to Skype Technologies SA's, said Safa Rashtchy, senior research analyst at Wall Street researcher Piper Jaffray Co, which makes a market in Yahoo stock. The impending move by Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo into the VoIP arena would potentially be disruptive."

Thanks for the completely off topic reply.

Roger Rabbit? How do you get that? Download it and have a go.. if you can't find a server with anyone on, just join an empty one, wait 10 minutes and someone will show up, play for 5 minutes and 4 other people will show up.. it's freakin' weird. It's a popular game but there isn't the critical mass needed to keep the servers full 24 hours a day.

Why do so few people play Cube [fov120.com]? Is it the lack of debs/rpms?

Because it looks like yet another fps among hundreds of other, confusingly similar games. When the selling point on the front page is "...high precision dynamic occlusion culling..." you know gameplay isn't high on the list for the devels.

You want to make a mark as a game developer? Do something different, not crank out another copy of the same old ideas.

When I still did play, it was under Linux.

What game was that? Quake II or something?

I know the reason I've never played Cube is not for lack of packages (I use Gentoo, so it's not a problem) but because there's no indication on the website that it's an actual game. As far as I could tell, it was just an engine and demo.
