Quake 3 to get another point release
Shacknews notes that id is still working on a point release for Quake 3 Arena. This hopefully "final" point release is going to fix the bugs everybody was complaining about, but of course, it's not going to be released anytime soon. I just hope they get it out before Doom 3 is done.
IMG has the complete .plan update.

Lacie to ship faster FW drives
MacCentral reports that Lacie hasn't been sitting on its laurels and has developed a new line of FireWire drives sporting faster disks (ATA-100) and a new and faster bridge chip, allowing for 35MB/sec sustained and 45MB/sec peak transfer rates. That's only 5MB/s less than the current FireWire ports actually support, very nice.
