| [News] "What happened to...?" - RJ Mical | ANN.lu |
| Posted on 20-Oct-2001 21:11 GMT by Christian Kemp | 0 comments | |
In an old press release I found, surprisingly, in my referer logs, the following is said about RJ Mical...
Aug. 27, 2001 - Video game veteran RJ Mical has joined Fathammer as chief architect. Mical assumes the responsibility for designing the software architecture and development interface for Fathammer's mobile game engine, X-Forge™. He will oversee the integration of third party components as well as serve as a company spokesman and technology evangelist. [..] Fathammer's X-Forge™ gaming technology and suite of supporting tools allows game developers to create original titles and bring existing properties to multiple mobile platforms. The X-Forge™ 3D game engine pioneers a new category for handheld devices and entertainment software - Mobiletainment™ - enabling console quality gaming on popular mobile devices.

In a comment here on ANN, Amiga.org's Wayne Hunt confirms that Amiga.org has been hacked. The main database was destroyed, and even though there are (possibly compromised) backups, they are debating whether or not to bother putting it back up. I guess any help, words of encouragement or financial support would be greatly appreciated by the Amiga.org team. In the same thread, people are currently discussing, among other things, whether the person responsible for this should better be fed to alligators, or eaten alive by fire ants.

| [Rant] EyeTech preview AmigaOne tower | ANN.lu |

First pictures of purpose designed high-end tower for the AmigaOne "[..] So as well as impressing existing Amiga users we also expect the AmigaOne to produce some real head-turning and jaw-dropping amongst the Windows-using fraternity. [..]" If the preliminary pictures are anything to go by, then the side view certainly looks nice, but why would anyone put the CD-ROM drives at the bottom of a tower and have four external 3.5" bays but only three 5.25" ones? Please discuss.
Update: This seems to be the tower from which Eyetech's version is derived. And at 535€, it isn't exactly cheap.

Many complaints were voiced and people are thinking that ANN's quality is degrading because of the display of unmoderated postings on the main page. And this is certainly not what I intended. Posting on the main page has not been opened up to allow people to insult, or be troublemakers. "Just because you can, does not mean you should." I'd like to ask posters to refrain from posting jokes, sarcastic remarks, or unfounded/unproven criticisms. When posting, I'd prefer people to apply common sense rather than limit them with explicit restrictions. Thank you for your cooperation.

I fixed the poll script, thanks to Luca for letting me know (please always report when things you think should be working do not). Things are pretty busy around here, and I just wanted to remind people to remain civilised. Also, I've always tried to target the widest possible audience, so if you think ANN is evolving too much into one direction, please let me know in the comments, or by mail. As a final note for today, I'm thinking of attending the Cologne or London shows (two hours by car or eight hours by train, respectively), since I was thinking it might be nice to meet some people in person... Comments, anyone?
