Maxis Talks Spore IGN: That sounds great to me, but then again I play games all the time. How do you think a more casual gamer will respond to that sort of game design complexity? Lucy Bradshaw: Well, for one, you're guided. You have little contextual tutorials, you've got missions. For the more creator-types [of players], once you get to space you open up the last of our editors, and that's really the planet editor. You can sculpt and terraform your planets, you can create a sanctuary planet or a zoo planet, collecting some of your favorite things can housing them on a particular star system. You can explore the galaxy for different astronomical points of interes…

Interview with PC Power & Cooling Founder "That sounds reasonable. This is also for example how the single 12V rail got into place. Why exactly is one 12V rail better than separate rails, and why is this not a safety issue for the user? DD: One 12V rail is better because all of the power supply's capacity is available to the system. With a multi-rail 12V design, as much as 30% of the PSU's capacity can be trapped on under-utilized rails. For example, if one 12V rail rated at 18A is for the CPU, and the CPU only draws 8A, the remaining 10A cannot be utilized by other components in the system. That's true. I had an AnandTech reader writing me about a problem wi…
