<description><![CDATA[Advanced Micro Devices claims that Intel and Nvidia cannot currently provide viable HD technologies for Blu-Ray movie playbacks. According to the company, the two chip manufacturers are not ready to deliver integrated graphics solutions able to hardware decode a high-definition stream. 
 
AMD also claims that Nvidia and Intel graphics can only play movies back as slideshows because they lack hardware-decoding capabilities. For instance, a recent demonstration illustrated the "wheel of fortune"...]]></description>

<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Genetics-Track-Down-the-Origin-of-the-Druze-People-85316.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[The Druze people are a religious community from the Middle East. Initially, it started as an offshoot of the Ismaili sect of Islam, but also incorporated Gnostic, neo-Platonic and other philosophies, a fact that made Islamic scholars regard it as a non-Muslim sect. A new research, published in the journal PLoS ONE, shows that the Druze people of Israel have a wide array of ancient DNA lineages which, in turn, would explain more of the history of this esoteric sect.

And it seems that those going with "sooner" are the winners, since we have a leaked pack of seven screenshots from what seems to be the second installment of Viva Pinata.
