Unreal Engine developer kit now freely downloadable

This will be a boon to teachers looking to involve students in projects that will have them programming simulations. It’s a little too technical for me to implement, right away at least, but I can definitely see the potential. A commercial 3D gaming developer kit, made free? Teachers everywhere rejoice!

Mozilla Raindrop: don't call it another Google Wave

“Raindrop is not another email client. We started from scratch with fresh ideas about what a communication application should be … ” Sound familiar? That’s the same promise we heard from Google Wave a few months ago. Raindrop is similar to Wave in some ways, but it takes a completely different approach to dealing with integrating different kinds of communication into one service.

Super.
