Final car list for Forza Motorsports 2 announced
It's fantastic when the Microsoft juggernaut uses its massive expertise to get things spot on. Forza Motorsport 2, the sequel to original's four-wheeled bedlam, has better physics, better visuals, and according to the recently posted list, 310 cars to choose from. There's the mundane, like a 2006 Acura RL. There's the surprising, like a Bentley Continental GT. There's the juiced, like the the Saleen S7. There are the shoo-ins, like the Mclaren F1 and the NSX. And then there's the overkill: 18 Chevys, 20 Ferraris, 22 Nissans, 25 Porsches, and 25 Toyotas. That's the kind of "overkill" that's just right in our book. Seven of those cars can only be had with game pre-orders and the collector's edition. Other rare "unicorn cars" can be bought in the Turn 10 online auction, in case you can't get your lap times just right with the 310 standard options.
Australia: Specialty stores have the edge on supermarkets

By combining data from its retail measurement service, Homescan consumer panel and Winning Brands Store Equity Model, the 2006 Nielsen ShopperTrends Report provides unique insight into the current Australian grocery retailing environment and shopper behaviour. According to the report, supermarkets remain the dominant retail trade channel driven by frequent consumer patronage (98 percent of survey respondents claimed to have visited a supermarket in the past seven days).
Pen Shop makes write move

Virtual world gets its own travel agent
As virtual world Second Life gets its own STA travel agent, Ed Ewing says it's just a logical step for an industry that's already reinvented itself on the web several times over Monday marked a minor landmark in online world Second Life (SL). The virtual world got its own travel agent, courtesy of STA Travel. Why is this important? Isn't it simply another marketing gimmick? At first glance, yes it is. After all, Second Lifers can fly around their world for free. But at second glance it's not as baffling as it sounds. The travel industry has been reinvented by the internet several times over. Only a fool, the commercial thinking must go, would dismiss a growing phenomenon like virtual worlds. Blake Ives (aka Blake Stringfellow in SL), a professor at the University of Houston who teaches students about Second Life commerce, says STA has spent a "nearly six-figure dollar commitment" on developing its Second Life presence.
