How to play Live Roulette Posted By : Bob Tharten
Roulette itself is an easy game to play it is in the betting where the game becomes a bit complex. At one table you can play with 8 people. There is a dealer who will act as the banker as well as the person who will spin the wheel and spin the ball. Each player will choose a different color chip so the dealer can tell between the different players and their bets. If you win they will exchange your color chips for cash chips. Once you receive your color chips you place the chips on the color and number space on the printed table. You can choose any number you want, if other players are on the number you want you can still play that number. You can even play the zeros.

Bryan Adams Sends Copyright Bullies After Fan Sites
One of Prince's more absurd moments of fan abuse came when he threatened various fansites for hosting photos of him and including images of album covers on their sites. Yes, these were fansites, promoting Prince and his music... and Prince threatened them. It appears that musician Bryan Adams is now doing the same, hiring WebSheriff (one of the companies that tries to track down file sharing) to bully and threaten Bryan Adams' fansites for daring to help promote Adams. Now, I know what you're thinking: Bryan Adams has fansites? But, beyond that, it does seem like WebSheriff is going beyond legal boundaries in its threats. Its big complaint seems to be that some of these sites link to unauthorized versions of Adams' music. But linking isn't illegal in most places, so it's difficult to see what sort of legal leg they have to stand on. If I ran a fansite helping to promote a musician for free, and then started receiving legal threats over it, my instincts would be to simply stop helping promote that musician's work for free -- and let the musician know that if they wanted me to continue promoting his work, he should pay up.

Asus unveils netbook with touchscreen that swivels
Asustek Computer on Tuesday unveiled its latest Eee PC netbook, with an 8.9-inch touchscreen that swivels and can even fold down to convert the device into a tablet PC.
The new touchscreen Eee PC, the T91, is similar to a netbook Giga-byte Technology launched earlier this year, the M912, which also boasts an 8.9-inch touchscreen that swivels.
[Read InfoWorld's Notes from the netbook revolution to learn how this new class of less expensive machines can serve as excellent desktop, laptop, or even BlackBerry replacements.]
The two devices run Microsoft's Windows XP OS, have Intel Atom microprocessors inside, and have the same size swivel touchscreens.
The M912 differs slightly in using a more powerful 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor, while the Eee PC T91 carries a 1.33GHz Atom that has slightly better power savings and includes support for a few technologies such as Intel Virtualization.
In the T91, Asus goes a step further on the software side to make touch navigation a little easier.
The company developed its own touch mode software at research and development centers in Taiwan and China, said Jonney Shih, chairman of Asustek, at a news conference in Las Vegas ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show, which opens Thursday.
The T91 also comes with a TV tuner so people can watch their favorite shows on the road, and GPS (global positioning system) technology to transform the netbook into a navigation device.
Shih said the Eee PC T91 will be on the market within the next three to six months. Pricing information was not immediately available.
Netbooks are miniaturized notebooks about two-thirds the size of a normal laptop that have become popular for mobile computing and Internet use. The devices are designed with less powerful chips and other components so they're more battery efficient, cost less and usually weigh just a few kilograms.
