Microsoft wants an anti-trust investigation on Google buying DoubleClick. Samsung will release a dual Blu-Ray/HD-DVD player. Looks like STALKER didn't steal the the textures from HL2 and Doom 3.

Thanks to reader Rob S. for pointing out that the water textures used by both Valve and GSC GameWorld, the makers of STALKER, come from a texture pack sold by Marlin Studios. The chaps at Marlin make all kinds of exciting textures, including 'Home & Office Furniture - High Detail, Low Price!' and 'Traffic - Low Poly Pretextured Vehicles, SUVs and trucks you can even animate!'
