Peter Preston: Stockwell is not the place for a soapbox (Jul 24 2005 23:59 GMT) - Uncertainty - simple, inevitable fallibility - isn't a crime. It's the human condition. What do suicide bombers do when the police have them cornered? In Madrid, one blew himself and the arresting officer up. Naturally, that makes police officers edgy. |

IE 7 to boost Firefox growth (Jul 24 2005 23:59 GMT) - The Mozilla Foundation is expecting to see a surge in interest in the Firefox browser from enterprise users once Microsoft launches Internet Explorer 7 next year. IE 7, which will be available in beta this summer, will not be available to users of Windows 2000. Asa Dotzler, the community coordinator at the Mozilla Foundation, said Tuesday that he hopes to attract many corporate Windows 2000 users to the Firefox browser, since they will be unable to take advantage of the improvements in IE 7. "We have high hopes that we'll do better and better in (the enterprise) space with Windows 2000 users," Dotzler said. "We're excited about Microsoft launching IE 7--it will remind a lot of people that if they want better features they have to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading" to Windows XP. |

Hydra of Texas hold 'em humbled (Jul 24 2005 23:59 GMT) - Supercomputers may be able to outdo grand masters in strategy games like chess but when it comes to the low cunning and judgment required in games like poker mankind still has the upper hand. Human Phil Laak this week beat PokerProbot, the Hydra of Texas hold 'em, in a face-off at Binion's Gambling Hall, Las Vegas. Laak, 33, also outsmarted three of the card-playing programs PokerProbot defeated to win the World Poker Robot Championship, an earlier three-day $100,000 competition to find the world's best poker-playing algorithm. Supported by a cheering crowd, Laak bettered PokerProbot's pair of kings with a pair of aces in a key hand and went on to defeat his silicon-powered opponent in the last of 300 hands in a three-hour exhibition match, The Los Angeles Times reports. |
