CALIFORNIAN FIRM AGEIA said its latest software development kit (SDK) supports physics stuff across a number of different platforms.

It said it had released the Physx SDKversion 2.4, which gives effects for nextgen gaming machines and using the Physx accelerator add in board which Asus and BFG are making.

The SDK will allow developers to work on both PCs and future game consoles. It said "collisions and interactions between multiple objects or fluids" will cause real life reactions on a "massive scale".

Ageia supports Softimage, Autodesk and Collada Physics import and export. Developers can get versions for both PCs and the Microsoft Xbox 360 from Ageia's web site.

The firm also said it is working to optimise performance on the Cell chip - that's the one that's gonna be used in the Sony Playstation 3, when that arrives. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
