A lighted pool table with built in speakers, MP3 player support and LED lighting for under seven hundred and fifty bucks? Now that sounds like a deal to me…and not just because the color matches my car. Hopefully this thing makes it to the market, it’d be a shame of it didn’t.

You know your site is popular when you get hit with phishing attacks…two days in a row. No worries though, Facebook is poking back…the situation is under control and the offenders have been unfriended from Facebook.
Unsuspecting Facebook users get a message from a friend urging them to “check this out” and including a link to a Web page that appears to be a Facebook log-in page, but it is a fake site that steals their information when they type in their username and password. The worm also sends a copy of the message to the infected Facebook member’s contacts.

Uh oh, the experts are all saying we will run out of bandwidth by the end of t…
Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 percent a year, will start to exceed supply as early as 2010 because of more people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry Web sites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC’s iPlayer.

It looks as though Valve has filed suit against Activision in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Valve claims that Activision is not honoring an agreement made earlier this month to pay the game designer almost $2.4M. Activision claims it had overpaid Valve in the past and has simply subracted that amount from the $2.4M agreement. Thanks to Ray Wilson for the link.
The arbitrator in that case awarded Valve $2,391,932, an amount that Valve says is less than it sought, but which it will accept because both parties agreed to be bound by the arbitration process. Activision, however, challenged the award, claiming that Valve had been overpaid by $424,136 in years past. For its part Valve alleges that Activision failed to properly raise this issue before the abitrator whom, the suit claims, refused to consider it for procedural reasons.

You guys should watch this video of Google’s policy analyst talking about actually owning the internet connection that runs to your house. I’m not sure how feasible it is but it sure makes you think.

Thermaltake’s Joseph Lin talks us through the innovative Level 10 chassis with it’s frankly awesome pod design…
“HIPER has done a very nice job with the Anubis chassis, producing a stylish case that is quiet and cools surprisingly well. I was also impressed with the build quality and finish. When HIPER says this is an alloy case, they mean it. I can’t recall a single plastic part, aside from the window, in the entire chassis.”
“Looking at the Fenrir from the front reveals some bent fins and the simple base with four large heatpipes running through, and grooves for the mounting bracket. The clearance from the lowest fin to the top of the base looks to be high enough to clear any motherboard heatsink or capacitor, while being short enough to fit into many computer cases. The side view shows the bent fins more, which are slid into place, where some companies solder theirs to the heatpipes. The pipes are angled away from each other as they rise from the base, spreading them out better into the fins for better dissipation.”
