Set phasers to litigate
Many Trek fans are unhappy with Enterprise and the general state of the Star Trek franchise but Activision are going one better and suing Paramount over it.

Shake down
A rather lush Flash trailer for GTA: San Andreas is now online.
Pre-order the game from Amazon. You know you want to.
Boiling a frog
The argument against extreme weather as evidence of global warming is that we’ve had floods before. A fair enough point, but they are becoming more regular as the system heats up, and thousands of small pointers tell us the scientists are right.
Space house
I want one! Designs have been drawn up for self sufficient buildings which utilise materials and technology from space exploration. This link is for my sister, who’s looking into low impact/ eco housing at the moment.
The technology could be used in a German Antarctic base. Check out this hi-res image of a concept model, complete with Pingus.
