The makers of Hogfather have made a movie of The Colour of Magic based on the 1st 2 Terry Pratchett Discworld novels. It will air in the UK over Easter weekend and later this year on Ion TV in the US. The cast includes Sean Astin, Tim Curry, Christopher Lee, and a cameo by Jeremy Irons. The next adaptation will be his newest book, Going Postal, which will have a larger role for Jeremy Iron's character. Check out the official website for more info.

Saturn's second largest moon appears to also have rings.
A new computer controller is being developed that is a magnetically levitated joystick. It tracks movement in 6 directions: forward/back, left/right, and up/down, and can simulate resistance to weight by magnetic force.
