Wii and PS3 numbers are reversed
The Wii has sold 8.8M in the USA (as of MS's announcement of passing 10M, although with the 700K of the last round of NPD numbers they're up to 9.5M), with the PS3 at 4.1M. Editors Reply: Thanks for spotting that mistake, the numbers have been changed accordingly
Top quality video on your PC: Splendid!
Splendid Video Enhancement
Unfortunately there must be a bug in the Splendid Enhancement because it imparts a bright green tinge to some videos as well as splashing a silly logo saying Splendid at the top right of the screen while playing a video. No choice but to disable it - no discernable detrimental effect. Splendid name tho'.

HP considering EDS buy
HP buying EDS
Certainly it is the right time now for HP to do so, since they were planning to buy Price Waterhouse prior to COMPAQ merger but now with the COMPAQ consolidation over and HP being the largest IT hardware company, this move will take them to being the larget IT solution and services company and also make a great competition with IBM

Freak UAE rain showers manmade
Artificial Rain
What chemical was used? Many years ago the Russians did the same thing using silver chloride. It worked but the chemical is toxic and was stopped (except over unpopulated areas, eg forests and deserts).

Yesterday: it was scary to learn from a friend this was an artificial rain…
Since I have seen the movie: The Avengers (1998) I have been fascinated with ‘making weather’. When last week just before leaving for work around 8am heard thunders and then seen lightning (Dubai), looked through the windows to see very strange dark clouds as we see them in Johannesburg just before a thunder storm (Johannesburg has lots of metal in the ground causing it to be a city with most lightning). The Dubai rain however was not that strong but what made me scared is a very powerful wind out of nowhere which I did not see in Dubai yet (living here last 3 years), just as if beginning of cyclone (you should have seen the garden/park for those few seconds). I do understand that the region is desperate for rain however God and Mother Nature have created a balance via million/billion of years and playing God is not healthy and am convinced that if we do one thing we unbalance another. I personally am not worried about motorists as people will have to learn and quickly, what concerns more is Mother Nature's retaliation.

They do this in Thailand every year when the reservoirs are running low, or the forests are ablaze.

Well if this is really so it would be a godsend to the middle eastern region. A Way to make the desert green again without having to desalinate water. I hope this will work and many more gulf countries will follow with the applied science of seeding clouds. bravo
