Loading ...In a week when Irish jockey Kieren Fallon stands trial for alleged race-fixing at the Old Bailey, Andy Murray and Tim Henman have outlined the perceived scale of the problem in tennis. The testimony a week ago of Arvind Parmar, their former British singles colleague, was startling by its simplicity. “A guy I’d never seen before just walked up and asked me to throw a match,” said the retired Parmar of an incident that occurred on the low-key ATP Challenger Tour.

(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...Microsoft’s game titles such as “Halo 2,” “Gears of War” and “Project Gotham Racing 3″ outnumber those from other publishers at most events. By comparison, rival Sony (NYSE:SNE) SNE, the maker of the PlayStation game consoles, is nowhere to be found at these competitions. Young men are hard for marketers to reach today, says Matthew Bromberg, chief executive of Major League Gaming. They play video games and surf the Internet rather than watch TV.”Telling the story to advertisers has been the most exciting part of our business,” Bromberg said. Mountain Dew’s sponsorship of pro video gaming, or e-sports, is a natural extension of the brand’s support of action sports, says Frank Cooper, vice president of marketing for Pepsi-Cola North America, a unit of PepsiCo.

By Teddy Peterson on October 9th, 2007
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...Thompson first worked with Allard on the original Xbox business. Allard knocked on his door, pitching a game console business that Thompson had also been considering. Several of their early Xbox cohorts are already on the Zune team, making Thompson’s new gig all the more appealing. “We’re getting the gang back together,” Allard says. And he believes that Zune is in much the same position as Xbox was in its early days. Thompson has built several businesses from the ground up at Microsoft. He joined the company in 1987 as a product manager on Microsoft’s mouse business. Four years later, he was named general manager of Microsoft’s hardware operations and became a vice-president in 1996.

The Use of Illegal Drugs to Aid
By Teddy Peterson on October 9th, 2007
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...In stridently denying the use of illegal drugs to aid a highly successful sprinting career, especially over the past three years of intensive investigation and persistent media speculation, Jones was only doing what so many of us do in all walks of life, even without a reminder from our insurer. Whether the issue is infidelity or political impropriety, the guiding principle of “It wasn’t me!” is religiously adhered to by a multitude of devotees who cut across every ethnic or social grouping in our part of the world. That is, of course, until the evidence to the contrary becomes overwhelming or the burden of living with such a major lie-or both-proves to be too much to bear that the truth eventually comes out.

Demand and Supply of Wii Consoles

People are crazy about the products which are short in supply. Anyone remember the Christmas rushes for the Cabbage Patch Kids, Tickle Me Elmo and Furby? “The scarcity — if it happens — will only serve to make people want the Wii even more, driving the price up on eBay,” Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Morgan analyst, told TechnewsWorld. “I think Nintendo is trying to manage capacity and demand. Excess capacity costs money, and I’m sure the company expects the shortage to be short-lived.”

Complex Video Games
By Teddy Peterson on October 1st, 2007
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...Complex games operate partly on a player’s own computer and partly on central servers run by the game companies. Essentially, the individual computer reports to the game on the mouse clicks or trigger pulls performed by the player, and the game registers the appropriate response. That’s where cheating hacks often occur: Tell your computer to report 100 trigger pulls for every one actually made, and you’ve turned a pistol into a machine gun that racks up points much faster. McGraw and Hoglund offer ideas for how game makers could seal up such holes. And they argue that the entire software industry needs to be watching, since these “massively multiplayer online role-playing games” are at the leading edge of computing.
