Ask Engadget: best gaming mouse for first-person shooters?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Alex, who seems to be sick and tired (but mostly sick) of doing poorly in deathmatches due to a troublesome mouse. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com . “I’m thinking about getting an Alienware M14x. What’s the best gaming mouse for first person shooters?” That’s about as brief as they come, folks.

What. In. The. Hell. Have. We. Come. To ? One woman thinks she can predict the future of the economy based on Ben Bernanke ’s moon sign. (On a related note: What the heck is a moon sign?) She predicts that Bernanke will have great success sometime in the late summer/early fall, though this might not necessarily have anything to do with the economy. Maybe he wins a free ocean cruise vacation or something. And by October Bernanke is “really, really happy.” Well, that settles it, then. Show’s over, folks, you can all go home! The Fed Chairman is scheduled to be really, really happy in about four months’ time, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about! What’s particularly hilarious about this segment is how seriously Taylor seems to take this subject and how she tries to talk about serious economic subjects with individuals who make a living making up random crap about people’s lives. Her attempts to discuss unemployment figures and the debt ceiling with psychics are about as useful as discussions of foreign policy with Call of Duty players. Bang. Head. On. Desk. I get the fun aspect of psychics, horoscopes, etc. I check my and my husband’s horoscope in the paper. A psychic once told my husband that he would marry late in life and have two kids, which turned out to be true. But asking psychics to predict the state of the economy based on Bernanke’s moon sign? OMG. If I can get meta for a moment, I really think this is more insidious than stupid. The pundits that we see everyday on the 24 hour cable channels are no more qualified to predict the future of the economy than these psychics. Really, what special knowledge does Bill Kristol or Pat Buchanan have that qualify them? But there’s a subtle message by relegating discussion of the economy to psychics that economic recovery is something that is up to chance, or the stars, or Providence. That it’s something that takes a special sense to understand and that is just frankly b.s. of the highest order. Economics is not that mystical, nor is it that difficult to understand. But as long as the media keeps it something beyond explanation, you foster a sense of hopelessness and helplessness among the viewers, which makes them far more dependent upon experts.

Austin Hatch, Indiana Basketball Standout, Survives Second Plane Crash

Jeff Karoub, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — A standout Indiana high school basketball player with the promise of playing at the University of Michigan is fighting for his life after surviving the second plane crash of his young life. Austin Hatch, 16, of Fort Wayne, Ind., was in critical condition Saturday in a northern Michigan hospital after the Friday evening crash that killed his father, Dr. Stephen Hatch, and his stepmother, Kim. Austin and his pilot father had survived a 2003 crash that killed Austin’s mother and two siblings. The teen was “the apple of his dad’s eye,” and Stephen Hatch took great delight and pride in his son’s athletic accomplishments, Dr. G. David Bojrab, a colleague and close friend of the father’s, told The Associated Press. Austin, a junior at Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, Ind., committed earlier this month to play basketball at Michigan, where his father and mother went to school. He told the Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne for a story published last week that he talked to Michigan coach John Beilein by phone and accepted a full-ride scholarship. It was the first day that NCAA coaches could call recruits for the 2013 class, the newspaper said. “It was a very special moment for me,” Hatch told the newspaper. “There was no reason to wait. There’s nothing I don’t like about their program, and I couldn’t turn it down.” Canterbury coach Dan Kline, who spoke with Michigan coaches before the offer, told the newspaper it was Austin’s “dream” to play for Michigan. “They didn’t come right out and say it, but they told me he was a top priority in the state of Indiana,” he said. “They kept dropping hints.” Bojrab said the Hatches were flying to their summer home on Walloon Lake in Michigan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula, where Stephen Hatch and his brothers all owned property, when his single-engine plane flew into a garage near the Charlevoix Municipal Airport. It was the same home Stephen Hatch and the family were returning from nearly eight years ago when they crashed in Indiana. “He was such a strong proponent of flying and teaching people to fly. … I think he felt compelled to continue his passion,” said Bojrab, a partner with Hatch in Pain Management Associates in Fort Wayne. “He felt compelled to show people that accidents do happen. He didn’t want people to look in the other direction.” A 2005 federal report on the September 2003 crash found inaccurate preflight planning resulted in the plane not having enough fuel. The National Transportation Safety Board determined a utility pole the airplane hit during its forced landing, a low ceiling and dark night also contributed to the crash. Bojrab said his friend disputed the report’s findings, believing equipment failure caused the crash. “When he crashed, it was an inferno, which makes you wonder how he could have been out of gas,” Bojrab said. Hatch saved Austin, but his other children — Lindsay, 11, and Ian, 5 — died along with his wife, Julie, 38. “His wife and two children were in flames and he was never able to reach them,” Bojrab said. “Steve reached over to his son who was sitting in front with him and tossed him out the window to save his life.” Beilein said in a statement that the university was saddened to hear about the tragedy affecting the Hatches. “Austin needs as much support right now as possible and I know he will be in the thoughts and prayers of the Michigan family during this difficult time,” he said. Canterbury School said in a statement it released Saturday to “keep Austin and his family in your thoughts and prayers.” Bojrab said Stephen Hatch had planned to go to Spain to celebrate his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary with the rest of his family, but canceled the trip to spend time with Austin and his adult stepchildren. “Steve was a very big family man,” Bojrab said. Another of his passions was Smith Field Airport, a small, historic airport near Fort Wayne. Bojrab said Hatch led a campaign several years ago to save it and bought the Smith Field Service Center and its flight school. “He saved the property from being developed commercially,” Bojrab said, adding that Hatch was instrumental in getting it on the National Register of Historic Places. NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said investigators were on the scene Saturday and would be examining the aircraft, interviewing witnesses and requesting air traffic control communications and radar data. He expected a preliminary report within 10 days and a final report determining a cause within 18 months. AP Sports Writer Noah Trister contributed to this report. 2 dead, 1 in serious after plane crash: woodtv.com
