IBM and Butterfly.net are working to create a new network for Massive Mutliplayer Online Gaming. They are hoping to license the technology to companies such as Sony. Here are some of the highlights:
Unlimited numbers of players within one persistent-state world
We all knowYahoo did this a little while back, and AOL did it before that. And how do we know?, well they told us. The fact that Hotmail did it without notification is typical of their business style. I only wonder how many other services (Earthlink, AT&T, etc.) either don't offer an opt out option or reset your preferences unknown to you anyways. As always you get what you pay for.
"In "simple" games like Quake III Arena, the Parhelia-512 will definitely lose out to the GeForce4 Ti 4600. In stressful DX8 games, Matrox expects the Parhelia-512 to take the gold - either performing on par or outperforming the GeForce4 Ti 4600."
I am having a hard time getting excited about a video card that is not out yet that will be as good as a video card that has been out for months
Out of curiosity I searched Ebay for Russian Space junk and came up with 112 items including someone selling a piece of a Russian Satellite for $12,000. Although currently no Space Shuttles are listed.
My CPU hours will remain dedicated to searching for a cure for diseases. If you would like to help check out the Folding@Home project that uses distributed computing to model protein folding to find possible cures.
I would like to see what kind of bug list and change log the Catastrophe Hedging Program has. I'm sure people would be fired for a rounding error or misplaced decimal. I could see Bill Gates face while using the program to handle his finances and get a blue screen before he could hit save.

Price Mistake Of The Day

It's kind of funny that after having trouble with this in the past, Buy.com has a "Price Mistake Of The Day" special on their front page everyday.
I have seen a similiar car used in California. They had the police footage on one of those "real video" shows. The car has cameras inside the vehicle showing the thief in action. After the car is stolen the Police activate a starter kill switch that not only stops the car but locks all the doors and prevents the windows from being rolled down. The video footage of the theif trying to get out is very entertaining. One car theif actually punched out the drivers side window at was half way out when the police caught up and arrested him.
The recording industry spends millions on market research, they know that file sharing services are not cutting into their sales. Many people have pointed out that they either download a song and then buy the CD or they download a song that is not available on CD. It's just easier to attack MP3 and file sharing under the flag of copyright violations.
What they are really trying to prevent is the trend for new and unreleased bands going to the internet and releasing their music instead of signing their soul away to a record company. When the record company gains all rights to a new bands music they don't just make money off CDs. They also make money off selling the songs to advertisers and gaining royalties for years. If all the bands started publishing themselves on the internet through MP3.com or their own website it would mean the end of the recording industry and that is what they are trying to prevent.
