SEC Suing 15 With Nvidia / Xbox Insider Trading
Cesar at TeamXbox has reported that this week the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing 15 indivduals, including 11 Nvidia employees, for alleged insider trading in shares of the graphics chipmaker based on advance information that it would win a lucrative contract with Microsoft Corp. Five are being charged criminally.
From the TXB story:
The government claims that the defendants were privy to confidential information that the company had signed a $2 billion deal to supply graphics processors for the Xbox video game console developed by Microsoft Corp.The employees, nine engineers, a human resources worker, a financial analyst, and four friends and relatives, began buying shares on March 6, the SEC charged. They're accused of purchasing the stock before the deal was announced publicly and illegally profiting from it.
The government said when the company announced the deal days before it was to be disclosed publicly, the five committed securities fraud by purchasing stocks based on insider information.
Nvidia recently announced record sales and earnings, 15% of which they say came from Xbox chips.
Halo Multiplayer Guide At Truth And Reconciliation
Louis Wu posted at HBO that Bungie's T&R site has updated again. Now they have Part 1 (Weapons) and Part 2 (Players) of their Halo Multiplayer Guide.
Mumbo Jumbo Website Updated
The Mumbo Jumbo website has updated with some important Myth III information. The first bit of news offers a lot of hope to those of us worried about Myth III's future:
Regarding the recent postings concerning the status of the Myth III team, due to a change in developmental focus, we have decided to close our Irvine, CA office. We are continuing to develop and support Myth III in our Dallas, TX office. While we hope that many of the Myth III team members who have been affected will join us in Dallas, we know that they may not be able to leave their sun screen and surfboards behind.
Mumbo Jumbo also states that they expect the PC patch to be available by Thanksgiving. That's within three days, folks.
Also, there is some updated information about the Myth III demos. The single player demo for the PC will be released at the same time as the patch. The Mac versions of both the multiplayer and single player demos probably won't be out by that time, but we can expect them to be released simultaneously.
Pepper Heights .Tag Download
Kudos to MWA for answering my request to make the Pepper Heights .tag file available so that Mac users can download the map, which was previously only available in .exe (Windows executable) format. Now that it's .zip compressed, the download is only 3 MB.
You can download Pepper Heights at MWA's map page or just click here.
Mac Myth III Status Update
Nate Birkholz posted a Myth III status update for the Mac in the Myth Village forum. It says:
Yes Myth III is being worked on; Bill Heineman has been working on it for a couple weeks now, along with Chris Jacobson.The A-level bug list remains the same, but progress has been made.
Changes have been rolled in from the forthcoming PC patch.
The ship date has slipped to early December due to the delay in receiving the final version.
Webscreamer asked about the demo and if it would be released before the full version. Birkholz replied: indubitably .
Xbox365 Writer Is Now Officially Addicted
Jedi at Xbox365 managed to pull himself away from his new Xbox long enough to write a piece on how much fun he's having with his new toy now that's he's got it. And a lot of that fun is courtesy of Bungie's Halo:
What can I say about Halo that hasn't already been said. As much as this game was hyped i can tell you that it lives up to it all. I have reached level four and have enjoyed every moment. I am already thinking about how much fun it will be to start over from the beginning. I have never played a game any better than this one. It is graphically so incredible. You really get the feel you are in another world. I catch myself making my character look up at the sky alot because it is simply so life like. You can see the moon and the stars and watch spaceships flying around. This is a must own game. Anybody who loves playing video games on a console system owes it to themselves to play this one. The Jedi ranks it as the best home video game he has ever played. Halo takes us gamers to the next level. It shows us that the Xbox can take our television sets and turn them into a high-perfomance arcade machine. It's simply that good folks.
Jedi also notes that most places out his way only had units for preorders, and wouldn't be putting any up for sale to the general public for awhile.
Backup RHL Server Online
We've put up a backup for the Rampancy Hotline server at hotline://rampancy.net. We don't have any of the old files there yet, nor the accounts, but the server is running.
Marathon Palace Is Still Online
Anybody remember the 2d, avatar-based graphical chat environment The Palace?
It was supposed to be the next killer app, supplant text-based email and impersonal web pages, put a personal face on the Internet, and allow everyone to run their own online community.
Well, although it looks like email, Hotline and ICQ succeeded where The Palace didn't, there are still a few of them around-- including the Marathon Palace. The page with the Java interface doesn't want to load for me, but if you can get a hold of the software from someplace, there should be enough information at that page to connect to the server.
Thanks to Turtle who posted about it at Subnova HL.
