Electronic Arts signs deal with id

Electronic Arts announced Monday that it will publish a new title from id Software, one of the leading independent game developers. EA and id showed a short video of the game at an EA press event at the E3 games conference in Los Angeles. Dubbed "Rage," the game involves "action, exploration and driving," said id co-owner John Carmack. He did not say when the game would be released but said id would reveal more details at it's QuakeCon event in Dallas later this month. The deal is something of a coup for EA. Id, which invented the first-person shooter genre in 1991 with its "Wolfenstein 3D" game, has had a longstanding relationship with EA-rival Activision. Activision published id's most recent versions of its popular "Doom" and "Quake" franchises.

id Software's Tim Willits Talks Rage

At last year's QuakeCon, id Software gave GameSpy a first good look at its latest major title, Rage. Using the new id Tech 5 engine, the game was presented with a setting of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and gameplay that would be part first-person shooter and part vehicular combat. We haven't seen much since then, however, including this year's QuakeCon, where id showed off a new two-minute trailer but nothing more. So to dig a little deeper, we cornered id Software creative director Tim Willits, who offered some insight into the game's setting and backstory.

RI's nanotech industry in need of alliances

Tiny gadgets with vast numbers of features? Ultra-thin laptops with large amounts of memory? What else can the people of today expect? The potential of nanotechnology -- a new branch of applied science -- is seemingly limitless. By modifying particles on an atomic or molecular scale, scientists have been able to make leaps and bounds in a number of fields, including health, biotechnology and renewable energy. The Jakarta Post's Erwida Maulia spoke last week with Eniya Listiani Dewi, a prominent researcher of the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT)'s Materials Technology Center, also a member of the Indonesian Nanotechnology Society (MNI) on how Indonesian scientists are doing their bit in the development of this exciting new technology.

Public Art: Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls Transform New York

The buzz on "The New York City Waterfalls" was loud enough that a boatload of reporters chugged out into New York Harbor one recent steamy morning with the installation's artist, Olafur Eliasson, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg for a first, up-close look at the project: four cascades, ranging in height from 90 to 120 feet, installed at sites along the East River. The falls work by an elaborate system that pumps water up from the river, then lets it tumble down a tower of scaffolding. Not that you need to get on a boat to see them. There are good vantage spots along the river—and that's the point, says the 41-year-old Danish Icelandic artist. He wants New Yorkers to explore the waterfront that most of them have turned their backs on, to see their city in a new way.

Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law

JagsLive informs us that the electronics retailer Newegg.com is defying New York lawmakers; it has suddenly stopped collecting sales tax from New York online shoppers. The "Amazon tax," which went into effect June 1, requires online merchants to collect sales tax if they have any affiliates in the state. Amazon is complying but has sued the state on constitutional grounds. Overstock.com dropped all of its New York affiliates and then joined the Amazon lawsuit. Newegg started out complying with the law on June 1, but stopped collecting taxes for New York on August 21. From Newegg's letter to its customers: "After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008," reads an email the company tossed at customers late last week, including at least one l

Law Professors Want New Trial for First RIAA Trial Win - Making available issue could lead to new trial but not necessarily new outcome

Last fall RIAA got a big win in the courts when Jammie Thomas was ordered to pay over $200,000 in fines just for “making available” music downloads for sharing. Recently, the judge in that case said that he was considering giving that trial a second chance because nationwide cases indicate that solely making the files available for distribution (with no proof that they were actually distributed) isn’t actually a crime. A group of lawyers has submitted a brief for the judge’s review which does indeed suggest that a new trial should be granted because of this issue. This doesn’t mean that Thomas would be in the clear; she could still be found in violation of copyright infringement even if a new trial is granted but she would get a second chance to prove her side of the case.
