...brawny sharks. In order to retrieve an important talisman from the sharks, the octopi kidnap a boy by substituting his school bus with an amphibious vehicle driven by a disguised octopus. After bringing back the talisman the boy gets folded into the shape of an envelope and returned via post to his parents. It goes on, but you get the idea. The nonsensical story exists only as a reason to make pictures. Printed with deep-blue ink, James' unconventional style evokes expressionist woodcuts. However, the lack of any real point in "The Octopi" ultimately detracts from its vaguely amusing pleasures...

Previous EyeToy games used your camera image onscreen, which meant you had to stand in direct light. But since AntiGrav needs to see only those gloves, you can play in just the glow...
...announced a deal with longtime rival Vodafone to offer the world's first fully converged handset that acts both as a mobile and as a fixed-line phone. BT's U.S. counterpart, AT&T, similarly announced an agreement with a big rival to offer AT&T-branded mobile services via the Sprint network. Why the rush back to wireless? That's where the growth is. AT&T's long-distance business is hurting, while a 1% rise in overall BT revenue for the most recent quarter hid a 7% drop in its core fixed-line business. BT re-entered...
