- Ragnarok Online Developers Make "Paper" FPS - In an attempt
to create a different atmosphere than the typical military or science
fiction-themed FPS,
Paperman
is a 3D FPS where everyone is made out of 2D paper! Characters in the game
will have a Parappa the Rapper-style 2D cutout appearance as they move around
in the 3D environment. When shot, the paper beings will become full of holes
like in the classic comic books, fold in half, or burst into fire. Basically
the way the paper people react should give a feeling of fighting living paper.

- World of Warcraft hackers using Sony BMG rootkit -
World of
Warcraft hackers have confirmed that the hiding capabilities of Sony BMG's
content protection software can make tools made for cheating in the online
world impossible to detect. The software--deemed a "rootkit" by many security
experts--is shipped with tens of thousands of the record company's music
titles. Sony is offering a "patch" that can be of assistance in ousting this
ugly bug. This patch can be
downloaded from the Sony
BMG's Web site. In addition, another patch is available for anti virus
vendors only. Unfortunately, this patch will not remove the DRM, it just makes
it visible, you still have to manually get rid of it.
Also now everyone knows not to put a CD with sony copy protection into their
computer. Because it compromises the security of your computer!
