IKEA WALKTHROUGH v2.3.1
=============================================================

IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows
you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about
home furnishings. In traversing IKEA, you will experience a meticulously
detailed alternate reality filled with garish colors, clear-lacquered birch
veneer, and a host of NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs) with the
glazed looks of the recently anesthetized.

=============================================================
OBJECTIVE
=============================================================

Your goal is to successfully traverse the five awesome worlds of IKEA
before your patience runs out. On your first few tries this may seem
like an impossible task, but with practice (and this IKEA Walkthrough!)
you will soon be able to muster the sense of numb resignation
necessary for victory.

=============================================================
WORLD ONE: PARKING LOT
=============================================================

Your adventure begins! Drive your vehicle into the IKEA
underground PARKING LOT. Your task is to find the fabled
PARKING SPOT hidden deep within this toxic cavern. Your search
will not be easy, as the PARKING SPOT may not appear until you
first qualify by completing several dozen laps. As in all worlds,
time is of the essence: If you are unable to find the PARKING SPOT
in 180 minutes or less, you may become irritated and leave.

Although your vehicle comes equipped with a braking mechanism
(the "B" pedal), the secret to success in this world is to never decelerate.

Digital Cam media safe to fly with

Technocrat.net : "Recent tests found no evidence of X-ray scanner damage to digital camera media cards or to the images they hold. The tests of scanner models currently in use in the U.S. transportation industry were jointly conducted by the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A), the leading global association for the imaging industry; SanDisk Corporation, a manufacturer of digital media cards; and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). These findings mean that digital cameras and their image storage media can travel safely in either checked or carry-on bags, which will be reassuring to holiday travelers. And though they were not explicitly tested, it is likely that images on camera-phones will be safe in either situation as well. More care is needed for cameras with film, however, as the X-ray scanners for both checked and carry-on luggage can fog both developed and undeveloped film."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
BW Online | March 1, 2004 | Software : "As Stephen and Deepa emerge this summer from graduate school -- one in Pittsburgh, the other in Bombay -- they'll find that their decisions of a half-decade ago placed their dreams on a collision course. The Internet links that were being pieced together at the turn of the century now provide broadband connections between multinational companies and brainy programmers the world over. For Deepa and tens of thousands of other Indian students, the globalization of technology offers the promise of power and riches in a blossoming local tech industry. But for Stephen and his classmates in the U.S., the sudden need to compete with workers across the world ushers in an era of uncertainty. Will good jobs be waiting for them when they graduate? 'I might have been better served getting an MBA,' Stephen says."
