Ben sent in this interview with the British hacker who is in the news lately for breaking into the US Army, Air Force, Navy, DOD and NASA computers.. to find out info about UFOs.
This story is a little old, but it's something I have ranted about occasionally. Activision have apparently been banned from using misleading scenes to sell games, thanks Matt.

AuphanOnline cover SED TVs, that they call "the plasma killer". First there was rear projection LCD, then DLP, then came Plasma. What's the next big TV technology just on the horizon?
Eroda sent in a link to Warhammer Online and there's a thread here in our Games forum. Unfortunately he provided no info about why this is interesting and I'm too sleepy to check it out in detail. :)
