More than 4,000 votes vanished without a trace into a computer's overloaded memory in one North Carolina county, and about a hundred paper ballots were thrown out by mistake in another. In Texas, a county needed help from a laboratory in Canada to unlock the memory of a touch-screen machine and unearth five dozen votes. [BostonGlobe-FrontPage] |

- When it comes to the genre of tactical shooters, there's only one name you really need to know: Rainbow Six. Although the long running Tom Clancy series first premiered on the PC in the late 90s, it really hit its stride when it landed on the Xbox last year. Rainbow Six 3 immediately rocketed to the top of the Xbox Live charts, spawning not only a PS2 version, but an expansion pack of sorts, as well (albeit one with new game modes and weapons). |

- From high-tech market research firm In-Stat/MDR, expects the Xbox successor to arrive in late 2005: The first next-generation console should hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2005 with the introduction of Microsoft's Xbox 2. In-Stat/MDR also informs about Sony's plans and how Nintendo fits in the middle: Sony, however, is not likely to give Microsoft too much lead time before launching its PS3 console, which should occur by mid-2006. Nintendo will try to launch its next-generation GameCube 2 console either before, or simultaneously with Sony, which Nintendo considers to be its primary competition. |

- Glitches in games are often amusing things; sure games that are packed full of them are no fun at all, however the odd occasional glitch in a game is often an amusing event, especially when the game is noted for it’s strength – we fondly recall meeting an American who took great pride in demonstrating everyone of the 12 or so glitches he’d discovered within Mario 64. |

- That's the message from Sony, which Tuesday confirmed what a growing number of holiday shoppers and eBay bargainers already knew--the company's PlayStation 2 video game console is in short supply at many retailers. But the company said it's ramping up production and doing all it can to get more consoles in stores quickly. "Consumer demand for the new PlayStation 2 has exceeded our expectations, and we are doing all we can to fulfill the wish lists of people who want a new PlayStation 2 unit under their tree this holiday season," a representative of Sony Computer Entertainment America said. |

- It’s no secret: I suck at Halo. I suck twice as much at Halo 2. Thank goodness our friend Sean Alexander found the Halo 2 Excel Workbook. For the Halo 2 fan who REALLY needs to prove what a bad-ass he/she is not just on the Web, in IM, or on Xbox Live but also needs to do it with an Excel spreadsheet, Sam brings us this… a data-driven spreadsheet that uses the Bungie. |

- L'utilisation du blogue, selon l'auteur du blogue de l'an 2000, est en effet un excellent moyen de s'exprimer, d'échanger, mais également d'apprendre. Il peut en effet s'avérer utile pour ceux qui désirent obtenir différentes opinions ou encore différentes versions par rapport à une certaine situation, ce qui est peu possible dans les médias traditionnels, victimes bien souvent de la convergence de l'information. L'opinion la plus farfelue peut également être publiée sans risquer de se faire pour autant censurer. Il est toutefois difficile de croire que le blogue pourra arriver à remplacer l'influence qu'exercent les médias sur la société. Enfin, j'espère!!!!! |

Laboral (Dec 01 2004 23:32 GMT) - Que no precaricen nuestras vidas La precariedad tiene muchas caras y nos afecta a tod*s, en mayor o menor mesura, seamos mujeres, inmigrantes, estudiantes, trabajador*s... Todos y todas somos precarias y como precarias decidimos rebelarnos. El cierre de empresas a causa de las deslocalizaciones es una realidad contrastable. Entre otras muchas cosas, lo que las empresas buscan es máxima producción con mÃnimos gastos. Sea o no la deslocalización una de las causas de la precarización de nuestras vidas, las cúpulas sindicales también ayudan a precarizarlas, pese a que muchas veces no puedan controlar hechos como los de la Phillips o los trabajadores de parques y jardines. |
