Toshiba is cooperating with Sony and IBM on a chip that might be used in the PlayStation 3. Production of "Cell", the name the chip bears, will begin as early as 2004. It is capable of handling intricate graphics and sound over the Internet and will be produced using 300 millimeter (12 inch) silicon wafers. This larger size may reduce production costs as much as thirty percent compared with standard 200 millimeter wafers.
Sony expects Cell to be used in several new consumer electronics, but declines to comment on the use of the chip in its new gaming console. A spokeswoman at Sony Computer Entertainment, however, did state: "Cell would obviously be the central chip for our next generation products. We're developing Cell in preparation for the time when every computer is linked to the Internet."

continued from front page: I never saw GOLK, so I couldn't tell if the code was taken from it, but after looking at another engine based on it, it seems to be. While I don't find it to be the same code I put in Q2E, there are several similar things.
GOLK was apparently early dev code, so that should explain some differences. But it still looks familiar enough to come from a trusted, legal source. I'm still looking for that Q3 renderer I used, but since the search feature is broken in the forums, I have to go thread by thread.
Anyway, believe it or not, that's not up to me.
The thing is that I used some code based on an illegal engine, and that also makes Q2E illegal in one way or another.
So I think the right thing to do is to shut it down, and also find other engines based on GOLK, or using code from GOLK-based engines, and report them to id Software.
That's all I guess...
And thanks for the support guys
