...Burnout is a serious game, not just a tech demo - it's a polished, fast-paced racing game with high-end graphics, and I happen to have played a lot of it. With Project Natal, instead of using a joystick, you steer by holding your hands up in the air like you're gripping a steering wheel. To hit the gas, you move your foot forward along the floor.

Encouraged by the idealism of our “melting pot” nation, she would be gratified to see an African-American as president. Tubman’s humanitarian efforts now might span oceans to infiltrate regions of the globe where civil liberties are severely curtailed or tragically nonexistent.

"As frustrating as it is, we'll need more information before we can imagine any scenarios." But for Learmount, if a short-circuit fire is to blame, one thing is for sure. "We have to look here for the lessons we got from that [Swissair flight]," he says. "Airplanes should have heat and smoke detectors all over them ... so that if a fire started anywhere, you would know immediately...
