Lair has been bashed by almost every reviewer because of the mandatory use of the sixaxis control and its poor implementation. The folks over at ps3fanboy have found a work around. Apparently if you own a PSP and have Lair in your PS3 you can fire up the remote play feature and play Lair on your PSP (they have a video of it in action). Since there is no motion control on the handheld you are stuck using the analog stick to control the dragon and early reports are that it's a much more enjoyable experience. So with good graphics, good audio, an enjoyable story line and this new control scheme this game may be worth playing.

With Sony's announcement that they have shipped all remaining 60GB playstions there is one very importaint question. To buy a 60GB PS3 or wait for the new revision. Since the 60GB is the last that contains the emotion chip, no further PS3s will have close to 100% backwards compatability, however i've heard these games look horrible since they aren't anti-aliased when scaled up to HD. So could the new software emulated PS3s look better, and will there be enough support of past games to make it worth waiting?

Last November, it was reported that UCLA cops Tasered a student, who forgot to bring his ID, at the UCLA library. While an internal probe by UCLAPD cleared the officers of any wrongdoing, an outside probe by Police Assessment Resource Center has found that the police actions on Mostafa Tabatabainejad were indeed out of UCLA policy. The probe was conducted at the behest of acting UCLA Chancellor Norman Abrams.
From the report:
"In light of UCLAPD's general use of force policy and its specific policies on pain compliance techniques, Officer 2's three applications of the Taser, taken together, were out of policy. Officer 2 did not take advantage of other options and opportunities reasonably available to de-escalate the situation without the use of the Taser. Reasonable campus police officers, upon assessing the circumstances, likely would have embraced different choices and options that appear likely to have been more consistent both with UCLAPD policy and general best law enforcement practices."
