Vue6.grid modeler + video tutorial
Chipps working hard on a new module for vue6, a pretty smooth and easy to use gridmodeler.
Now, what one should keep in mind is that vue is a terrain and landscape application which lets you create atmospheres,terrain and plants, it´s great at what it does and probably the most userfriendly app i´ve ever used while still managing to be very powerful at what it does and as can be seen in this video tutorial vue has a very powerful and complex editor, however it´s entirely possible to model in vue aswell.
Vue isnt a modeler and shoudnt be used as one, but for simple and especialy architechture driven stuff vue works real well, the vue userbase have seen such modules as vuetools previously been released and now is the time for the gridmodeler.

ps3 40gig, 36k units sold in one day.Japan
Aparently 31 000 white ps3 40 gig´s where sold the first day in Japan and 5 000 black 40 gig ps3´s.
Not a bad day by any accounts even without adding 60 and 80 gig ps3´s into the mix and white seems to be the color of choice aswell.

Japan goes Playstation 3
i´ve never seen one system holding the nr.1,nr2,nr3,nr4.nr5,nr7 and finaly 11:th position in the top ten(11) chart and some of them have sold out, which of course is both good and bad, depending on how you look at it.
No im not talking about software and stuff, we´re talking about the console itself, yep it´s correct, right now the various versions of the ps3 system is holding those spots, looks pretty bizzare but im sure Sony must be enjoying it both for the amount of sold consoles and the increase in spiderman 3 movies that gets out there (blu-ray)

Blu-ray vs Hd-dvd
The numbers speaks for itself.
week ended 4 Nov: Blu-ray 71% of movie sales and hd-dvd 29%.
Year to date: Blu-ray 64% hd-dvd 36%.
Link to nielsens numbers
The transformer boost aparently only lasted for a week for the hd-dvd camp, and not even that week had them outperforming blu-ray.
Now, take into account the new and more affordable ps3 40gig unit and realy, why would anyone go hd-dvd, not even xbox 360 users has a real incentive to pick up the hd-dvd ad on for their console, it´s pretty pricy and ad´s one more unit in front of their tv, so if you´re going to have two units anyway and you already have one x360, far better picking up the more then affordable 40 gig ps3 and use that for your hd movie pleasure, not that big of an difference in price compared to the hd-dvd adon for your x360 and it will allow you to enjoy blu-ray movies instead of just hd-dvd movies and blu-ray is the winning hd movie format.
Secondly, picking up a low priced ps3 gets you access to even more games and since both x360 and ps3 have some neat exclusives this year (think uncharted for ps3 and ratchet and clank and haze and warhawk first and foremost) well that is of course much better then picking up a hd dvd adon for your x360, as of now, hd-dvd is going down the drain, the outsold ratio is increasing, not decreasing, and every hd-dvd exclusive movie will sooner or later end up on blu-ray, as were disney and sony will never release their movies on hd-dvd.
Simple pick aint it? With the exception of some die hard x360 fanboys it would be fun hearing what you sane x360 owners thinks of this.
Oh and dont forget that your lovely ps3 already supports the holy blu-ray 2.0 features, except for the software of course, but unless you´r living in a void like some do, you already know that sony´s lovely ps3´s blu-ray player keeps getting updated firmware per firmware and what it can do today is far beyond what it could do at launch, and when it launched it was already one of the best blu-ray players.
In other words blu-ray 2.0 wont be far away for the playstation 3 which is something that cant be said for early stand alone blu-ray players.
Final verdict is that you just got to love being a ps3 owner as far as high definition entertainment goes (games, movies, music).
