Play Mythos before everyone else Mythos: related news

Play Mythos before everyone else! (Mythos)

We're already very much looking forward to Mythos. The prospect of a new Diablo-style PC MMORPG from the actual makers of the actual Diablo is embarassingly drool-inducing in itself, but combined with a free and easy, no-grinding-required philosophy, it could well turn out to be the MMO that it's actually cool to play. What next, Yoshi's Island Turf War: The FPS?

Play Football Manager Live before everyone else (Football Manager Live)

Wives and girlfriends the world over are rightly terrified of Sports Interactive's impending Football Manager Live. Over the years, the franchise has been responsible for the dissapearace of more males than any major military conflict you care to mention, and the prospect of the next edition going MMO could well result in a drastic fall in Eartth's human population in future generations. Still, when football goes online, there are more important matters afoot than frivolous breeding. Fancy playing it early? Of course you do.

Thoughts on phone privacy

It's 5:36pm and you're putting the food on the table for your family's evening meal. The phone rings. Everyone looks hesitantly at everyone else. Who's going to pick up the phone this time? Everyone can guess what the phone call is about. You're tempted to let the answering machine catch it but you're tentatively waiting for call from your boss. You pick up the phone and say, "Hello." Your family, who have taken their seats at the table, take one look at your face and all shake their heads. Their guess was right. You listen to a little of the spiel before you slam down the phone whispering obscenities toward the contraption.

Addiction to Video Games a Growing Concern

Ollie Morelli, 7, logs on to the family laptop before sunup to make sure his pet lion, Cedric, is set for the day. The character in the online game Webkinz would appear to be: His house, furnished by Ollie, boasts a football-shaped refrigerator, a football-helmet coffee table, a couch, and a flat-screen TV. Cedric requires hours of after-school attention, too—and sometimes inspires an outburst when Mom and Dad say, "Enough!" Like many parents these days, Ollie's have wondered uneasily where childish pastime begins to edge toward obsession. "The issue is not the amount of time," says Brian Morelli. "We can control that. It's the fact that he gets up before everyone else and sneaks onto the computer. It's like he sets his internal clock so he can play Webkinz.

Researchers Play Tune Recorded Before Edison

Tree131 writes "The New York Times is reporting that sound recordings pre-dating Edison's made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, a Parisian typesetter and tinkerer, were discovered by American audio historians at the French Academy of Sciences in Paris. The archives are on paper and were meant for recording but not playback. Researchers used a high quality scan of the recording and an electronic needle to play back the sounds recorded 150 years ago. 'For more than a century, since he captured the spoken words "Mary had a little lamb" on a sheet of tinfoil, Thomas Edison has been considered the father of recorded sound. But researchers say they have unearthed a recording of the human voice, made by a little-known Frenchman, that predates Edison's invention of the phonograph by nearly two decades.

Warne advice for visiting teams

Jaipur: Instead of cribbing about the turning tracks in India, visiting teams should learn to play on them as there is nothing wrong in the host side’s insistence on having wickets that work to their advantage, feels Australian spin legend Shane Warne. Here to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Rajasthan Royals, Warne said visiting teams should come prepared for turners. “I see nothing wrong. Every team visiting India expects such kind of wickets. Don’t the Indians have to play on hard and bouncy wickets in Australia or South Africa? That is the whole fun in cricket. You have to play on different kind of surfaces and have to prove yourself on them. It is a great challenge,” he added.

Software patents underlie a novel open source business model (video)

"Software patents are evil." Ask almost any free or open source software advocate, and they'll tell you that software patents kill creativity and keep computer science from advancing as rapidly as it would if everyone shared their basic work with everyone else, unencumbered by patents or other restrictions. But computer science professor Fred Popowich of Simon Fraser University says this is not necessarily true. So does attorney Larry Rosen, who spent many years as legal counsel for the Open Source Initiative starting (literally) before it had a name.

The Strange Case of the Army's Robot Thief

Back in July, the Army announced its biggest robot contract in its history. The so-called xBot deal would be worth up to $300 million and cover as many as 3,000 units — an unmanned surge. At first, the contract looked tailor-made for iRobot, the makers of those cute Roomba robo-vacuum cleaners, and military machines, too. But, as I discovered in my story for WIRED magazine, that was before the deal was discovered to some rather unusual items buried in the fine print. Before the accusations of intellectual property theft. Before the lawsuits, and the private investigators. Before the broken friendships, and the hidden players. You'll want to read this rather twisted tale of Pentagon millions gone awry until the very end.

What was Before the Big Bang? An Identical, Reversed Universe

So what did exist before the Big Bang? This question would normally belong in the realms of deep philosophical thinking; the laws of physics have no right to probe beyond the Big Bang barrier. There can be no understanding of what was there before. We have no experience, no observational capability and no way of travelling back through it (we can't even calculate it), so how can physicists even begin to think they can answer this question? Well, a new study of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is challenging this view, perhaps there is a way of looking into the pre-Big Bang "universe". And the conclusion? The Big Bang was more of a "Big Bounce", and the pre-bounce universe had the same physics as our universe… just backwards… Confused? I am…
