We be burning

Found on Games Asylum

Emergency Mayhem might ring a bell with
you - it was one of the games that Acclaim were working on before they
ran into money troubles. Despite originally being announced way back at
E3 2004, Codemasters have somehow managed to salvage the remains and
are readying it for release on Wii.

A
PlayStation 2 version is also highly likely but is not yet confirmed -
this news comes from the latest issue of the The Official Nintendo
Magazine. They claim that it’s very similar to Crazy Taxi, only instead
of a cab you get behind the wheel of a police car, fire truck or
ambulance. Once a destination has been reached mini-games occur, which
range from defusing bombs to saving people from burning buildings.

Codemasters seem to have good faith in the Wii, with Heatseeker and
Dance Factory also both due out soon. That’s more than double their
entire GameCube output.

Review of ethernet over power.  Instead of wireless or cat5, use your wall plugs.

bit-tech.net

Ethernet over power gives you the best of both worlds. It’s just as reliable as true cabling, has a decent turn of speed, is inherently more secure than wireless and a lot simpler to set up. Imagine being able to turn any power outlet in your house into a network port.

Dell to recall 4.1 million exploding laptop batteries

A Dell spokesman said Monday that the Sony batteries were in notebooks shipped between April 1, 2004, and July 18 this year. They came with more than 30 laptop models and also were sold separately.

“In rare cases, a short-circuit could cause the
battery to overheat, causing a risk of smoke and/or fire,” said Dell’s
Ira Williams. “It happens in rare cases, but we opted to take this
broad action immediately.”

Dell launched a website, http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com, that described the affected models. Williams said the website tells consumers how to get free replacement batteries from Dell.

Dude, your Dell is on fire

Microsoft to let players design own games

USATODAY.com - Microsoft to let players design own games

Microsoft wants to do for video games what YouTube has done for video: open it up for do-it-yourselfers.

The first step toward that goal, to be announced Monday, is the release
of a free set of game-development tools called XNA Game Studio Express
on Aug. 30. Prospective do-it-yourself game developers can download the
program (from www.microsoft.com/xna) to their Windows PC and create games for PCs and for Xbox 360 systems.
