Mystery insect bugging experts at London museum

In this undated image made available by Natural History Museum, showing the tiny red-and-black bug which is thought to be a new species of insect, and that has appeared inside London's Natural History Museum gardens, according to information made available Monday July 14, 2008. The almond-shaped insect, about the size of a grain of rice seems to thrive on plane trees at the grounds of the 19th-century museum, but this insect is not the same as any of the 28 million insects currently classified by the museum, 'I don't expect to find a new species in the gardens of a museum,' said Max Barclay, Collections Manager at the Natural History Museum.

World at War Wii will not have online co-op

Destructoid writes: "In a sudden turn of events that have shocked the games industry, Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii will not have an online cooperative mode.

Spammers Announce World War III

schliz writes with the stub of a disheartening article at IT News: "Hackers are deluging web users with malware-laden spam claiming that World War III has started following a US invasion of Iran.

Fable II Pub Games (Xbox 360)

Fable II Pub Games is a collection of three games of chance popular throughout Albion, the world of Fable. The games themselves will feel familiar to anyone with a passing knowledge of common gambling games, and on balance, they're mildly entertaining. Their real appeal lies in their eventual integration with your Fable II game. Any gold or items that you win (or debt you accrue) can be passed on to your hero in Fable II, for better or worse. If you're not excited about Fable II, these games aren't anything special. But for those counting the days until October, the thoroughly Albion-esque presentation and the two reasonably engaging games make Pub Games an appealing purchase.

Inside Africa's PlayStation War

In the rugged volcanic mountains of the Congo the conflict known as Africa’s World War continues to smolder after ten grueling years. The conflict earned its name because at the height of the war eight African nations and over 25 militias were in the combatant mix. But more recently the conflict was given another name: The PlayStation War. The name came about because of a black metallic ore called coltan. Extensive evidence shows that during the war hundreds of millions of dollars worth of coltan was stolen from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The UN and several NGOs claim some of the most active thieves were the Rwandan military, several militias supported by the Rwandan government, and also a number of western-based mining companies, metal brokers, and metal processors that had allegedly partnered with these Rwandan factions.
