The officer using the taser was Terrence Duren. He has been accussed multiple times of using excessive force. In 1990 he was accused of choking a student with a nightstick. In 2003 he shot an unarmed homeless man who was allegedly trespassing. Also, he was fired from Long Beach PD prior to working for the UCLA PD. http://civilliberty.about.com/od/historyprofiles/a /uclataser.htm http://www.bruinwalk.com/groups/DailyBruin/article .asp?articleID=79

European PS3 Launch Delayed to 2007 440

An anonymous reader writes "Sony has finally admitted that the November release date for the release of the PS3 is unfeasible. Specifically, it will not be available in any PAL territories until March 2007. Sony cites '(a) delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode', forming a critical part of the much-maligned Blu-Ray drive. With the Xbox 360 having been released for almost 6 months in overseas markets, and the Wii looming large, can Sony afford a delay like this?" Update: 09/06 17:58 GMT by Z : Just to make sure you caught it, the announcement includes the word that the U.S. will only be getting 400,000 units at launch in November, with Japan at 100,000 units. Go Sony.
