Pokemon vs. Cancer!

The deal is, a doctor found the gene that causes cancer. The thing is, it's the POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic gene, so he nicknamed it Pokemon. Nintendo freaked and called the guy up and now he's changed the name to Zbtb7 instead.

Hackers vs. the Xbox 360!

The Xbox 360 is basically a computer, so a bunch of hackers messed with one and, after a lot of poking around, managed to hack it, a bit. They did something that let them use an "extractor tool" to copy games. The problem is, the games only work on an Xbox 360 and burned copies of them don't work at all. So the hack is useless!

Marvel Comic Book Superhero Lookalikes Online!

The online role-playing game City of Heroes is famous for letting you make any superhero you want. But, Marvel Comics got cranky when folks started making superheroes that look a lot like Wolverine, Daredevil, The Incredible Hulk, and the rest of the X-Men! Marvel got some lawyers and made some noise about a lawsuit but, they just dropped the issue. So, City of Heroes players can keep playing their fave Marvel mutant lookalikes online.

What's the Deal With a New Xbox 360 Game Console?

The Xbox 360 is a smokin' hot gaming system, but it has a serious flaw - the CD-reader. It's just a regular DVD reader that can handle up to 8.5 GB of info per disc. The Playstation 3 is going with a Blu-ray disc drive that can hold 45 GB per disc, more than five times as much gaming info! So, rumor is that Microsoft will release a new Xbox 360 with an HD-DVD drive that can handle 30 GB per disc. This means that gamers with an ordinary Xbox 360 would be hooped when HD-DVD games come out.
