Here is one of the most interesting mobile AR (Augmented Reality) systems I have seen so far. It uses S.L.A.M. (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) to make up for the limitations of the GPS and compass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBI5HwitBX4 It is still in a very early stage, but it will progress quickly from here I think.

Surprisingly Few People Collect On GTA Hot Coffee 343

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday June 25, 2008 @08:14PM from the simulated-murder-is-fine-but-simulated-boobs-will-warp-you dept.

Relin writes "Out of the millions eligible, less than 3,000 have come forward to collect their money in the 'Hot Coffee' settlement. While the plaintiffs' lawyer is surprised by the development, Theodore Frank of the Legal Center for the Public Interest at the American Enterprise Institute seems convinced that the lawsuit was 'meritless' and will result in no payment for the legal counsel opposing Take-Two."

Wii Update 3.3 Defeats Twilight Hack, Freeloader 125

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 18, 2008 @03:51PM from the wii-wii-wii-all-the-way-home dept.

Richter X writes "The newest update to the Nintendo Wii's Menu, version 3.3, contains code specifically designed to find and kill the popular Twilight Hack used by homebrewers to play unauthorized code on the Wii. The update also prevents the Freeloader software used to play imported games on the Wii. However, it does not seem to affect the Homebrew Channel in Wiis that already have it installed. The updated code is currently being researched in order to find what code has been changed. So far it has been confirmed that Nintendo included specific instructions to target the Twilight Hack. Work is also being done to update the Twilight Hack in order to bypass this new code."

From Apple's site: 'For business-critical server deployments, Snow Leopard Server adds read and write support for the high-performance, 128-bit ZFS file system, which includes advanced features such as storage pooling, data redundancy, automatic error correction, dynamic volume expansion, and snapshots.' CTO of Storage Technologies at Sun Microsystems, Jeff Bonwick, is hosting a discussion on his blog. What does this mean for the 'client' version of OS X Snow Leopard?"
