o Senators Want Federal Ban on Sale of Mature-Rated Video Games to Minors

Washington - Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) announced on Wednesday that they plan to introduce legislation that would outlaw the sale of "Mature"-rated video games to minors nationwide. The "Family Entertainment Protection Act" also calls for a Federal Trade Commission investigation into "misleading" game ratings; an annual analysis of the ratings system; the authority for consumers to register complaints; and annual sting operations on retailers to determine compliance. "I have developed legislation that will empower parents by making sure their kids can't walk into a store and buy a video game that has graphic, violent and pornographic content," said Senator Clinton, who said impetus for the legislation came from the recent "Grand Theft Auto" "Hot Coffee" sex mini-game scandal, and a report issued on Wednesday by the National Institute on Media and the Family that found minors were able to purchase Mature-rated games 42% of the time. However, such bans on the sale of video games have been ruled unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds three times; similar bans recently enacted in California, Illinois and Michigan are also the target of game industry lawsuits. Hal Halpin, president of the Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association, a trade group of video game retailers, said in a statement that his group had "committed voluntarily to a self-regulatory enforcement system substantially similar to the motion picture business, which the very same legislators hold up as the 'Gold Standard'." Senator Clinton said she plans to introduce the bill when the Senate reconvenes in two weeks.

o "Cyber Monday" Traffic to Retail Sites Beats "Black Friday" Figures

New York - About 27.7 million U.S. Internet users visited retail web sites on "Cyber" Monday, eclipsing the traffic those sites saw on the previous "Black" Friday by 15%, according to new figures released by Nielsen/NetRatings. "'Cyber Monday' brought a surge of traffic to many online retailers as shoppers returned to work following the holiday weekend ready to tackle their holiday gift lists," said Heather Dougherty, a senior retail analyst for Nielsen/NetRatings. The firm said that shoppers were enticed to the sites by steep discounts on merchandise and free shipping offers. The top five online shopping destinations on Monday included eBay, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and Overstock.com.

o Intel "Viiv" Technology to Facilitate Media Downloads to PCs, Portable Devices

Santa Clara, Calif. - Chipmaker Intel announced on Wednesday that it is working with over 40 content companies to provide support for its Viiv digital home technology, which it says will facilitate the download of music, movies, games and other content to Viiv-enabled PCs, portable devices and home media networks. The Intel Viiv technology, set for release in the first quarter of 2006, will be embedded in PCs, laptops, portable media players, digital TVs, DVD players and other devices. In the second half of 2006, Intel said that content providers including British Sky Broadcasting, Movielink, TiVo, Loudeye, Napster, VirginMega, Capcom, Square Enix and Ubisoft will begin utilizing Intel software that allows their content to be shared across home networks. Intel will provide engineering support, specifications and verification tools to content owners, content distributors, portals, software application developers and device vendors to help deliver Internet-based content services and software applications that are tested and verified to work with an Intel Viiv technology-based PC.

o Microsoft, MP3 Player Makers Seek Universal Docking Port

San Francisco - Microsoft has joined a working group launched by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) designed to create a common docking port for MP3 players, so that all would use a common connection for third-party add-ons for cars and home stereos. The group aims to provide the same ease of use offered for Apple's iPod, which uses a single interface to connect any number of add-on devices; currently, the myriad other MP3 players on the market use different docking designs. "To safely enjoy today's portable information and entertainment products in the car, you must be able to securely connect the portable devices in the car through cradles and other similar mechanisms," said CEA vice president Brian Markwalter. "To accommodate this need, the portable device industry has thus far invented a variety of proprietary docking connectors that are not generally interoperable. This new working group will create an industry standard docking connector specification that could be adopted by any host or portable device manufacturer regardless of the format or protocol that it supports." Manufacturers that have joined the working group with Microsoft include Belkin, Bose, Creative Technology, iRiver, Nokia and Sirius.

o U.S. Team Sweeps Finals at World Cyber Games

New York - The team of video gamers representing the U.S. has swept the finals at the World Cyber Games, a video game tournament held last weekend in Singapore that awarded $2.5 million in prizes. The U.S. team beat out 700 gamers representing 67 countries to capture the world champion title for the first time, medaling in games including "Counter-Strike," "Halo 2" and "WarCraft III: Frozen Throne." The U.S. "Team 3D," which repeated as gold medalists in "Counter-Strike" for the second year, featured members from New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Des Moines, Iowa. Organizers of the World Cyber Games, sponsored by Samsung, said the event drew 55,000 live spectators, and an online audience of 530,000 who watched the live webcast; the finals were also broadcast on MTV. Next year's Grand Final is slated to be held in Monza, Italy.

o U.K.-Based Games Firm Mind Candy Raises $3 Million

London - Mind Candy, a U.K.-based alternate reality gaming (ARG) firm, announced that it has raised approximately $3 million in venture capital financing. Index Ventures, a venture capital firm with offices in Switzerland and the U.K., led the investment round. According to Mind Candy, ARG is a new type of game that combines real-world events, websites, text messages, TV, print and a wide range of other media to create an "immersive gaming experience". Founded in 2003 and based primarily in London, Mind Candy specializes in the design of a new style of puzzles -- "well beyond the boring and lifeless ones that have dominated for years" -- that weave together with ARGs and Cross Media Entertainment (XME).

o Report: France, U.K. and Spain Lead Europe in Internet Usage

Paris - According to a new report by the European Interactive Advertising Association (EIAA), the French -- followed by the British and Spanish -- spend more hours on the Internet than anyone else in Europe. The EIAA said the French spend on average about 13 hours online every week, while Brits and Spaniards spend about 11 hours online. Italians spend the least amount of time online, surfing the Internet just eight hours a week (the European average is currently about 10 hours and 15 minutes per week). The numbers should come as little surprise, as broadband adoption across Europe is booming, according to another report by research firm Datamonitor. "The current situation in many markets can be best described as one of rapidly increasing penetration, where broadband has effectively entered its growth sweet spot," said Datamonitor's Tim Gower. Gower claims that connection rates will level out at 60% of European households.

o N.Y. Times: Deadheads Protest Band's Closure of Free Downloads Site

New York -

The site's recordings will now be available only in streaming format. Fans of the band, known as Deadheads, have threatened to boycott the band's own merchandise -- which now includes an online store where fans can purchase downloads of many of the same recordings -- if the decision is not reversed. "One-to-one community building, tape trading, is something we've always been about," the band's spokesman, Dennis McNally, told The Times. "The idea of a massive one-stop Web site that does not build community is not what we had in mind…Our conclusion has been that it doesn't represent Grateful Dead values."
