Improvements to Mesa done by LunarG and sponsored by Valve in a new open-source patch-set means that popular Linux games should take significantly less time to load -- including titles like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive -- by speeding up the shader compilation process...

An anonymous reader writes "Unsurprisingly, Oculus VR has denied claims that John Carmack stole technology when he left Zenimax. From the article: 'Oculus VR just sent across an email outlining in seven points what it views as ZeniMax's specious claims about Doom-creator John Carmack and Oculus' virtual reality technology. Last week, ZeniMax accused Oculus VR Chief Technology Officer (and former id Software Doom mastermind) John Carmack of taking "proprietary technology and know-how" with him when he departed the Rockville, Maryland-based Elder Scrolls and Dishonored publisher for a job with Oculus.'"

A passage from the book Matisse on the Loose, as translated by an optical character reader:

"When she spotted me, she flung her anus high in the air and kept them up until she reached me. 'Matisse. Oh boy!' she said. She grabbed my anus and positioned my body in the direction of the east gallery and we started walking."

It's all explained Sarah Wendell, editor of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books:

"So if the text is old, and it says 'arms', the OCR [optical character recognition] scanner will see it as 'anus.' OMG," Wendell tweeted. (She was referring to optical character recognition, the process by which printed texts can be scanned and converted into ebooks.)

Via The Guardian and Melville House, where there are additional examples of the error.

A thrown toilet bowl ended the life of one fan.

A fan in Brazil was killed at a match on Friday when a toilet bowl was thrown and struck him on the head. A police officer confirmed to the AP that the fan died from the injuries caused by the toilet bowl.

Santa Cruz and Parana fans clashed in a second division match at Arruda Stadium in Recife and, according to the police officer, this led fans to rip three toilets out of a restroom. All three were then thrown into the stands and the one that left one fan dead was the only toilet known to cause injury. There were no reports of additional injuries from other violence at the match, which finished in a 1-1 draw.

The 2014 World Cup begind in six weeks, but Arruda Stadium is not going to host any matches this summer. Recife will host four World Cup matches, but they will be played at the newly constructed Arena Pernambuco.
