  'Pulp Fiction' writer sues Microsoft
Time: 01:54 EST/06:54 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

Academy Award-winning screenwriter Roger Avary has sued Microsoft in California for purportedly stealing his idea for a virtual yoga studio after the software giant sought his advice for winning over women to video games, his attorney said on Tuesday. Avary seeks at least $30 million plus punitive damages and has asked a judge to stop Microsoft and co-defendant ResponDesign, an Oregon game publisher, from selling the yoga game, called "Yourself! Fitness."
