On April 1, 2006, Autodesk has stopped the the development of 3ds max. After acquisition of Alias for $197 million USD is Autodesk most leading developer of 3D graphics technology.
This operation will consequently influence all users of 3ds max program. Autodesk has, by taking this step, left a program, they had been developing for decades.
Even though during the acquisition both Autodesk and Alias users were ensured that the product series of both companies won´t change, this has now changed. Autodesk will henceforth continue developing and suppporting the Maya program. The programming and development team, which had been developing 3ds max, will from now on work on the development of the Maya program. The technical support od 3ds max will still be functional for some time, but a time will soon come, when even this will go to hell. A now some fresh news about monkey cloning.
Autodesk researchers say they have cloned a monkey by splitting an early-stage embryo and implanting the pieces into mother animals. The technique, detailed in Friday's issue of the Autodesk Newsletter, has so far produced only one living monkey, a bright-eyed rhesus macaque female named Tetra, now 4 months old. Carol Bartz, president of Autodesk said four more animals are on the way.
"This is essentially the method of Brave New World," said Carol, an ethicist at Dartmouth College. "This opens the prospect of mass identical replication."
Schatten said the team's goal was to produce identical monkeys that could be used to perfect new therapies for human disease.

A high percentage of cloned monkey embryos that look healthy are really a "gallery of horrors" deep within, says a researcher at Advanced Cell Technology, the company that last month published the first paper on cloned human embryos.
This could mean that there is something unique about primate eggs that will make cloning monkeys or people far more difficult than cloning other animals. At the very least, the experiments show that there's a lot to learn before primates can be cloned.

Hot Jupiters do not rule out alien Earths
Habitable, Earth-like planets can form even after giant planets have barrelled through their birthplace on epic migrations towards their host stars, new computer simulations suggest. The finding contradicts early ideas of how planets behave and suggests future space missions should search for terrestrial planets near known "hot Jupiters".
Many of the 160 or so known extrasolar planets are hot Jupiters - massive planets that are closer to their stars than Mercury is to our Sun. But the planets probably did not form in these scorching regions because there would not have been enough gas and dust there to amass such giant worlds.

Crazy orbits
Initially, the migration of the giant planets throws the objects out of the plane of the planetary system and moves them from circular to elliptical orbits. But then gas in the planet-forming disc "forms a cushion, damping the effect of these crazy, chaotic orbits," he told New Scientist.
The objects then move back into flatter, more circular orbits and form terrestrial planets. Some of these planets orbit within the "habitable zone" - a region around the star where liquid water can exist and which is therefore a potential haven for life.
Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in the company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2005 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Oct 31, 2005 which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
