Electronic Arts has announced that SimCity 4 is in development at Maxis Studios. SimCity 4 features new simulation and graphics engines, new regional game play and the new ability to track the lives of individual Sims as they go about their daily routine. SimCity 4 will make its debut at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition in Los Angeles (E3). Here's is a little bit of the blurb on the sim: Unlike earlier games in the series, SimCity 4 cities do not live in isolation from the world, they are part of an entire region. Each city a player now creates will become part of an ever-growing tapestry of municipalities that, once connected by transportation networks, can share and compete for resources. Depending upon the choices made by a player, this multi-city game play can result in a variety of outcomes within that region. Adobe has a law suit against Macromedia alleging that the user interface of Macromedia's Flash Web animation tool infringes on Adobe's patent for tabbed palettes, a feature that allows users of design software to rearrange the work space on the PC screen. Macromedia of course responded with a countersuit saying that Adobe's Photoshop image-editing software and its GoLive Web design software infringe on 2 patents that Macromedia holds for editing tools. Read more on the whole mess here <news.com.com Source Magazine has published a round-up <www.tekbug.com of USB 2.0 devices that are on the market now for purchase. here's a bit from the article: Enter USB 2.0 (also known as Hi-Speed USB 2.0). It has the same physical connection as USB 1.1, is completely backwards compatible, and is even (slightly) faster than IEEE 1394. With a theoretical speed of 480Mbps, 40 times that of its predecessor, USB can now step out of the trailer park and onto center stage. Of course, a newer and faster IEEE 1394 is right around the corner, lurking to take back its performance crown. But isn?t that how it always is with technology?
