Doom 3 and half-naked fairies
The Holy Grail in the battle for dominance of the graphics world has always been cinematic-quality performance. If you can get a game that's as graphically complex as "Shrek" or "Toy Story" to run smoothly on a PC, the theory goes, you'll open up the gaming industry to a vastly larger audience.
For years, nVidia and ATI have claimed to hit that milestone every time they have a new chip coming out – though that has generally been more PR bluster than fact. They're making the boast again about their latest releases. And while the skepticism is still thick, even critics are acknowledging that the gap between in-game and on-screen graphics is quickly shrinking.

Boy Sparks Inferno with Paper Airplane
A 12-year-old boy accidentally burned down a poolhouse and a summer pavilion with a flaming paper airplane, causing more than $40,000 in damage, police in southern Germany said on Thursday.
The airplane ignited a hedge next to the swimming pool building and summer house in the Bavarian town of Oberasbach on Tuesday.
By the time the fire services put out the blaze, both buildings were gutted and two garages slightly charred.
"The boy wasn't looking to start a fire," said police spokesman Dieter Eilert. "He just wanted to light his plane."

Water 'flows' on Mars
Dark streaks on crater and valley walls may indicate that brackish water currently flows across the surface of Mars.
New images and analysis suggest the slopes around the Red Planet's largest extinct volcano, Olympus Mons, contain dark stains caused by brine flowing down hill.
The discovery indicates that the substantial underground ice deposits on the Mars can sometimes melt and flow across the surface.
