Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters: "'The IBM Full-System Simulator for the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) processor, known inside IBM as codeword Mambo, is a key component of the newly posted offerings on alphaWorks.

Kotaku, the Gamer's Guide: "Nintendo hit the world with some pretty exciting online numbers this morning. In the first week since Mario Kart DS’ release, 45 percent of the game’s owners have already played the game online.

The game hit stores on Monday, Nov. 14 and by Sunday night more than 112,000 people in the U.S. had purchased the game. Of those, about 52,000 users logged into NiWiFi and got their game on, Nintendo says.

Not bad for one week, I’ll be interested to see what the number looks like after this holiday and the release of Animal Crossing: Wild World and Metroid Prime Hunters"

Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters: "'Capcom has announced Capcom Classics Collection for the PSP, featuring 20 games and wireless multiplayer. Featuring twenty classic games, wireless ad hoc multiplayer, and horizontal and vertical screen orientation, Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is sounding like the retro collection to buy in 2006. Some of the twenty games included in the collection are 1941, Avengers, Block Block, Captain Commando, Magic Sword, Quiz and Dragons, Street Fighter, Strider, Three Wonders, and Varth. Some of those titles aren't exactly well known, but the inclusion of Strider is sure to excite many a gamer. This was one of the notable absences of the recent Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, so the inclusion of the game on PSP version is a real feather in its cap. "
