Mendis takes centrestage in final

Two days ago Sri Lanka had an opportunity to knock India - a more dangerous side than Pakistan - out of the competition, but they reduced their chances of winning by resting Chaminda Vaas and Ajantha Mendis. The move was obviously to keep Vaas fresh, and to prevent the Indians from getting first-hand experience of Mendis in case India made it to the final. As it turned out, India chased down 309 to progress to the title clash, ensuring that Sri Lanka go into the final having lost their last match, and that too to the eventual finalists.

Unlike the "Prince" from Versus and "Lightning" from XIII, this image has so far given everyone nothing but grief in uncovering its purpose or identity.

StreamingMedia.com Releases First Final Cut Studio Training DVD Focused Solely on Streaming Production

Final Cut Studio and Compressor are fabulous tools for producing streaming video, but the workflow can be confusing. For example, which de-interlacing option triggers Compressor’s vaunted Optical Flow technology (and which doesn’t)? How does editing in a custom Final Cut Pro setting or encoding with a QuickTime Export Component impact your options in Compressor’s Geometry Pane? Beyond workflow issues, does Compressor’s output quality match that of other Mac-encoding tools such as Sorenson Squeeze or Telestream Episode Pro, or could producers improve quality by using these third-party tools?

Final Fantasy is gone, is the PS3 dead in the water?

Microsoft fired off the shot heard round the world today at their E3 press conference when it was announced that the long time Sony exclusive Final Fantasy franchise would be making its way to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. The chaos that ensued from the ’Final Fantasy Exclusivity Crisis’ was evident across hundreds of gaming message boards. Square-Enix was branded a turncoat and sell out. ’FailStation’ doomsday proclamations were made. Hundreds of angry fanboys frantically scrawled out flames and flinged insults.

Is Sony dead in the water, and the PS3 rendered a $400 paper weight, as some have said?

The final will be STS-133, in which Endeavour "will carry critical spare components that will be placed on the outside of the station," including new communication antennas, a gas tank, spare parts for giant space robot Dextre, and the coolest of them all: "micrometeoroid debris shields."
