| Unity game engine updated for Leopard
Unity Technologies has announced the release of Unity 3D 2.0.1, an updated version of their 3D game design engine for Mac OS X. The free update for registered 2.0 users is ready for download. The software runs on Mac OS X but enables developers to deploy across multiple platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows and the Web. It incorporates an integrated editor, asset importing, shadow and light support, optimized graphics for both OpenGL and DirectX, terrain modeling, shaders, scripting support, networking, physics, audio and video support and asset management. New to the 2.0.1 release is support for Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard," along with some necessary documentation updates that “enhance the documentation for both pre-existing and new features introduced with the initial Unity 2.0 release," according to the developers.

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Fed cuts funds rate 3/4, markets ready to plunge again. On Saturday, NewsBusters addressed the break of the five-year bull market trendline.

With all this in mind, is the current stock behavior a repeat of 1987, vis a vis a market event predicting a recession that isn't going to happen? Or, are the markets right this time, and this economy is in big trouble? .
Woods focuses on 1 course, 2 tournaments
The course might not look the same, except for the routing of the holes, the refurbished lodge, and the unending views of the ocean. The U.S. Open already has built two new tees, on the par-5 13th and par-3 16th, that will not be used this week. The greens figure to be much firmer and faster. The splotchy rough will be uniformly thick. Woods won the Buick Invitational last year at 15-under 273. Chances are, no one will be under par in June. "I actually think that if the conditions stayed the same at Torrey Pines as any other golf course, I think Torrey Pines is the hardest golf course in the country," Mickelson said. "Because it's 7,600 yards at sea level, with no bailout on any hole, bunkers are left and right, pins are tucked and there's no letup." The Buick Invitational was expecting a stronger field than it got because of the U.S.
