GTA IV gets 1.01 patch, freezing not fixed [Updated]
Looks like Grand Theft Auto IV got a little band-aid patchwork today with a 1.01 update. It's a small little tweak at 18 MB, and it supposedly will fix up those freezing problems everyone's been getting antsy over. So far, we've been playing with the new patch for the past few minutes and everything seems to be going smoothly.
[Update: Looks like the freezing issue has not been fixed after all. Many gamers are stating the problem is persisting. Apparently, this update only fixes multiplayer connectivity issues.]

Japan news: Worries about weak digital demand from Olympics
May 5, 2008 - The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing this summer have long been touted as a potential windfall for consumer electronics, but a pair of reports out of Japan suggest the numbers won't add up as high as previously hoped.But wariness among firms, particularly Japanese, has now entered the picture because of worries about the US economic slowdown and "tepid" domestic consumption, the paper notes. Orders and shipments typically spike at the start of an Olympic year in anticipation of soaring sales of TVs and related products just before the Games, but such supply activity hasn't happened this year.The Dai-ichi Life Research Institute has lowered its expectations of consumption of Japanese products this summer by about 25%, to ¥345.4B (US $3.27B), down from a forecast of ¥459.3B ($4.36B) back in December, notes the Nikkei daily. Consumption is lower than in previous Olympic years (e.g., the 2004 Athens Olympics saw a spending rise of ¥440B/$4.18B), partly because of rising prices and economic pressures on consumers.

Cruise Ship Mona Lisa Runs Aground Off Latvian Coast
RIGA, Latvia (AP) -- A stranded cruise ship off Latvia with nearly 1,000 people on board
will be evacuated Monday, the country's coast guard said.The Mona Lisa's captain had agreed to evacuate the ship after unsuccessful efforts to free it from a sand bank off Latvia's coast
coast guard officer Ruslans Kulesovs said.
The coast guard will evacuate passengers and crew onto two naval ships which will then sail to Ventspils, a port city in northwestern Latvia, Kulesovs said.He could not say how long the evacuation would take nor could he specify how many crew would remain on board the Bahamas-registered vessel.
Mona Lisa was on its way from Kiel, Germany, to Riga with 984 people on board when it ran aground early Sunday on a sand bank about 17 kilometers (10 miles) from the Latvian coast, officials said.
The cause of the accident has not been determined.Coast guard officials said the ship was not damaged and the passengers, mostly Germans, were safe and not at risk.
Once in Ventspils, the passengers will be shuttled to Riga some 160 kilometers (100 miles) to the east. The Mona Lisa is a luxury cruise liner that went into service in 1966.

Bad News Bears
The Bad News Bears is a 1976 film directed by Michael Ritchie. The film was followed by two sequels, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training in 1977 and The Bad News Bears Go to Japan in 1978, and a short-lived 1979-80 CBS television series, none of which were able to duplicate the success of the original.1
In “Bad News Bears,” grizzled former professional baseball player Morris Buttermaker (Thornton) is bribed by a straitlaced lawyer (Marcia Gay Harden) to coach the Bears, a woefully inept youth baseball team. Buttermaker’s got to find a way to drive this gang of 12 misfits to a championship against their hated rivals: the Yankees and their overbearing coach (Greg Kinnear).2
One of the movies that started all of the cliches of the down and out team of ragtag misfits and losers. The Bad News Bears manages to do it in a realistic, interesting and funny way.3
When a little league team named The Bad News Bears are in need of a coach, one of the boy’s fathers turns to Morris Buttermaker (Matthau), a has-been minor league baseball player who now supports his alcohol and smoking habits by cleaning and maintaining pools. Taking the dysfunctional team under his wing, Buttermaker at first sees the kids as a lost cause because, let’s face it, the kids suck at baseball.4
Hollywood’s tradition of remaking classic movies continues with this 21st-century updating of the 1976 romp, THE BAD NEWS BEARS. Acclaimed director Richard Linklater (THE SCHOOL OF ROCK, DAZED AND CONFUSED) pays respect to Michael Ritchie’s original film by updating it rather than reinventing it.5
Yahoo! Stock Likely To Get Ripped
Shareholders of Yahoo! (YHOO) stock are likely to lose a high percentage of their investment later today when the markets open. YHOO stock closed Friday at $28.67/share.The stock had risen $9.49 over the past month due to Microsoft’s (MSFT) bid to buy the company for $30+ a share. Reports indicate that MSFT offered $33/share Saturday to Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang. Yang turned down the offer and countered with $37 bucks a share. Microsoft wisely walked away from the table, ending negotiations in the process.So Yahoo! shareholders and experts alike agree that the stock is set to get hammered today. It could fall up to 33% according to some pundits. Some predict it will drop all the way back to $19.18/share.
