Your knowledge of web font usage is a bit out of date. @font-face allows use of custom fonts on the web, and works across all browsers[1]. As for your font rendering issues, either you need to turn ClearType on, or turn it off and on again

AAA games on PS3 don't usually make use of OpenGL ES, direct manipulation of the graphics hardware is where it's at (same with the Wii).

A news story I saw last night about synthetic sausages contained a vox pop from a woman who claimed that she would not eat them because it was "unethical". I have to say, my mind was blown by her apparent construction of ethics.

It would seem that lab-grown meat is the only one of those things that is not already available, though it seems the current state of "sex robots" leaves something to be desired. Perhaps lab-grown flesh could go some ways to improving that
