Mars Mission: A Game From Lego
I saw this advertised while waiting for a movie to start: Mars Mission by Lego. I have to say that Lego has really come a long way from when I was a kid. All we had were a bucket of plastic bricks. None of these fancy-shmancy bells and whistles. I’m jealous. 
Anyway, if you have a child who likes online games and Legos, then they’re in for a treat. The game is simple. You’re an astronaut on Mars, being chased by aliens. You use your mouse (not the arrow keys, strangely enough) to jump over obstacles. To the right you see an indicator for how far behind the alien [...] Continue Reading…

Philips has designed this rather cool device enabling anyone to draw on walls with light. No mess, just fun.
I still can’t tell how it works exactly, but it looks very easy to use. You dip your wand into a “bucket” of light, stir it around to choose your color. and let loose on the wall. You can even have your drawing animated.

These Guys Aren’t Even Trying Hard To Fool People
These PayPal phishing emails are becoming more and more popular it seems, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the people behind them are getting any smarter.
This last message I received was still dripping with urgency, but they must have missed the class that explained how to hide the true destination of a link. Check it out:

Stickam: Possible Connection To Online Porn?
Back in March I reviewed a site called Stickam, a community of approximately 600,000 members, mostly made up of teens. They gather online to chat with other people using their web cams — a full audio-visual experience. The trouble is that you’d be hard-pressed to find these exchanges NOT taking place in someone’s bedroom.
Well, I just learned of some more trouble. According to an article in the New York Times, a former Vice President of Stickam, Alex Becker, has accused the company of not doing enough to protect their members. In fact, the same company shares office space — and sometimes employees — with online porn companies.
The parent company [...] Continue Reading…
