- Crackers deface Ferrari - Defacers turned motor sport fans
yesterday in a protest against the controversial decision to gift Michael Schumacher
victory at the Austrian Grand Prix. Ferrari-group.com was defaced by a group
called S4t4n1c_Souls after the race with a profane message criticising Ferrari's
management for ordering Rubens Barichello, who dominated the race, the make way for
Schumacher on the last corner, handing him an undeserved victory. "BARRICHELO ROX
FERRARI SUX," the message
reads, in part.
- Youth Says Video Games Led Him to Shoot Friend - Jury
selection started on Monday in the trial of a 13-year-old Dallas-area youth charged with
shooting his friend twice in a deadly attack the suspect's lawyer said was prompted by a
day-long binge on violent video games. The boy's attorney is arguing the shooting
occurred when his client cut school with his friend to spend a day playing video games.
The suspect mimicked the actions of violent games the pair had been playing, and
used his mother's gun to shoot his friend to death as he acted out the video game action,
he said. Police say the suspect knew the difference between video games and reality and
have joined law enforcement authorities in charging the boy with juvenile murder. If
convicted, he could face up to 40 years in jail.
- Firm sheds new light on keyboard design - Start-up Virtual
Devices has developed a flashlight-size gadget that projects an

to peck information into a handheld but doesn't want to schlepp a notebook computer
around. It uses cameras to track the location of a person's fingers in relation to a map
of a full-sized keyboard.

- Matrox Storms Back into 3D - Tim Sweeney, Epic's chief 3D
guru working on next-generation Unreal engine technology had this to say about it:
"We've had our hands on a Parhelia for the past few days, and have Unreal
Tournament 2003 up and running in triple-monitor mode -- it's very immersive, and
surprisingly fast (rendering at 1280*3 x 1024)." The UT engine has had adjustable FOV
for quite some time now, and UT 2003 obviously does too, so when that title ships this
summer, it will in all likelihood support Surround Gaming. Today, 17" CRT monitors
can be had for under $200, and some time in the future a three flat-panel setup will
become pretty affordable too. This is by far the coolest application I've seen to date for
multi-monitor technology, and Matrox deserves kudos for bringing this to market.
