Creative Zen Ships With Worm:
It looks as though Creative has shipped thousands of Zen Neeon MP3 players that are infected with a worm. That’s right, a worm…straight from the factory. That’s pretty creative (pun intended).

Looks like somebody turned off the virus scanner at the Creative production plant—it would appear that about 3,700 Japanese 5GB Zen Neeons shipped since July might have possibly been packing a W32.Wullik.B@mm payload.

Nintendo Patents Sanity?
Nintendo has officially went crazy and patented “in game†sanity levels. What the? Does this mean no more in-game insanity for other games? Funny stuff. Funny weird, not funny ha-ha.

A video game and game system incorporating a game character's sanity level that is affected by occurrences in the game such as encountering a game creature or gruesome situation. A character's sanity level is modified by an amount determined based on a character reaction to the occurrence such as taking a rest or slowing game progress and/or an amount of character preparation.
