Blog: Software 3DMark Makers Creating Game, Hot Graphics Promised
In recent years, Futuremark's 3DMark benchmark has been a utility not only to measure the performance of PC hardware, but it's also been a tool to help show off the latest in graphics technology. Many times after viewing 3DMark's manufactured game demo benchmarks, which simulate different game genres such as first-person shooters and racers, I often wondered what would happen if the talent behind the 3DMark demo would apply its technology to a full PC game. Late last month, Futuremark announced that it intends to pursue game development with the formation of Futuremark Game Studios. The new company is already working on a PC title that features the latest technologies while also promising that its game will run on modest systems. Interestingly enough, Futuremark itself was born out of game developer talent.

Defiant Amy Winehouse wins big at Grammys
Tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go," she pledged in the former, even though rehab is exactly where she's been spending a lot of time, lately. "I told you, I was trouble," she sang, dolefully, on the latter. When "Rehab" was named Record of the Year, she seemed overwhelmed, covering her face and collapsing into the arms of her backing musicians. The crowd in London chanted "Amy, Amy." Recovering her composure, she gave a brief acceptance speech, thanking her parents, her business and music associates, and her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Winehouse had been nominated for six Grammys, and won five of them, including Record, Song (songwriting) and New Artist of the Year. Also, Mark Ronson was named Producer of the Year, largely for his work with her. .
The Phantom Menace
Ethanol, methanol, rubbing alcohol it doesnt matter, as long as it gives their drinks the zing needed to dupe a few desperate drinkers. Distilleries and sugar refineries sell potable ethanol of varying grades. Cheaper still is industrial-grade alcohol, which is usually spiked with methanol or other toxins to prevent human consumption. Illegal operators either dont know, or dont care. In some countries, denatured alcohol is dyed green to make it instantly recognizable, but in Egypt it looks just like regular ethyl alcohol, says Maged Safwat, a downtown pharmacist. Pharmacies once had an annual quota of denatured alcohol to prevent them from selling off their 20-liter bottles to taht el-sillim spirit makers. Most now receive denatured alcohol in dispensable 100 milliliter plastic bottles, a practice that has reduced the incidence of methanol poisoning.
