Great graphics, good story and very relaxed atmosphere. These are old games -- released in 2002 & 2004 but still look pretty good even on a 27" screen.
And you can find them on Steam for less than US$ 10.
It needs to protect my phone from being abused by thieves & in this case the police -- and preferably screams in some kind of high piched funny voice "You TICKLE me!" when they connect a cable to it.
From the article: So how good is the camera? For endoscopy, pretty good. The resolution is 62,500 (250 x 250) pixels and can produce a frame rate of 44 per second at this resolution
The Apple-Challenge / Apple-Response is iTunes' method to verify that it's talking to an Airport Express; it may be similar to the DAAP one which has been reverse-engineered. These headers are optional when talking to the Airport Express, so it's possible for other programs to talk to the Express but it'll be difficult to get iTunes to talk to something other than the Airport Express.
Until we get the private key out of the AirPortExpress, it's not possible to convince iTunes to send anything to a non-AirPortExpress client (say, another computer pretending to be an AirPortExpress).

It is set in the (then) futuristic year of 2004, when Earth has been enslaved by a race of aliens known as the Orbs. The Orbs, who look like giant floating eyeballs, have implanted all humans with global tracking devices, forced them to wear nondescript robes and forbid them from speaking or communicating. The protagonist has been assigned by the Orbs to track down fellow humans who are believed to be forming an underground resistance.
What's more, the company is demanding that a federal judge order Google to surrender the IP addresses and other identifying information (PDF) of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page.
The INTERESTING bit here is in finding out how much, and what, Google actually logs and stores.
So does Google actually log visits by IP adress to a private YouTube page?
It was a court order, not a subpoena..... according to Rob Gongrijp (one of the EU citizens targeted) :
On December 14 of 2010, the US Department of Justice has had a court order issued to force Twitter to send them various bits of information regarding my Twitter account as well as of the twitter accounts of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, Birgitta Jónsdóttir and Jacob Appelbaum. In my previous blog post, I have erroneously referred to this order as a subpoena, which...
Anyone else would have taken the safe road, formed comities or a special interest group. These are all organisations which governments understand. They are easily managed and co-opted. Give them funding, ask them for regular reports, have a yearly dinner party and then threaten to cut the funding if they go out of bounds.
So yes, for something like Wikileaks to be successful you need a revolutionary.
Someone who persists in the face of governments and a general public happy with the status quo.
Assange being an asshat is Wikileaks only and largest quality.
The BBC is going to feel the heat in a much different way.
Publishers (eg. Murdoch) have been trying to roast the Beeb for competing unfairly with them online and they might have just been handed a stick.
Over the water in the Netherlands the newly installed Dutch government has stated that its undesirable for publicly funded broadcasters in the Netherlands to be competing with commercial publishers on the Internet. It wants to take this to the logical conclusion and shut down websites maintained by the various publicly funded (broadcasting) organisations.
Whether this is sanity or lunacy is of course debatable.

My father tried to sign up -- he received the "You are not old enough" message.
He was mumbling about having to be over 80 before you can qualify.
So far it seems all hot air with no substance beyond the GizMag article. No other news source picked this up.
No Australian company by the name of IAT21 is attending the 2011 Paris Air Show either.

Basically nothing changed since Clifford Stoll wrote his book The Cuckoo's Egg (book) back in 1989.
It wasn't the Internet and VOIP scams, but East European spies and 1200 baud modems. The FBI didn't care then either.
I played with it for a while at a toystore -- couldn't see the 3D no matter how hard I looked at the headache inducing blurred image.
This is the first time I am incompatible with an electronic toy, I urgently need an upgrade.
Houses on the other hand you can simply stop building so many and the ones you have go up in value eventually.
Seems the Chinese also build about 64 million houses they didn't need... whole cities in fact.

Aluminium is 3x lighter than steel.
If this material is 10x lighter than steel we would be able to build among others much lighter aircraft.
Of course, I hope we don't have to glue the plane together from A4 sized pieces of "paper".
I did think twice.
So I downloaded the portal I demo (free), and then bought Portal I (full). Cost me Euro 8 and I am enjoying it.
I don't have to think very much things priced under Euro 10 -- but something like Portal II at Euro 50 ... that gives me pause.
I can afford it, but why waste the money?
I most likely wait for another 1-2 years and then buy it at a discount.
So where can I find an app for this?

THATS where it is going.
Not independent author websites (too many too cluttered), or even pirated content (still too much hassle) , or itunes (why pay for a track?)
Simple, uncluttered access to everything you (n)ever wanted.
It will take a few years, it took the music industry 10+ years, so expect this to happen around 2020 or something.

Your point is that Amazon is a publicly traded bookstore. They don't sell items they don't like.
But what does this make Google ? They are a publicly traded library.
Google is also in the process of digitizing vast numbers of real world libraries. Presumably so that we don't have to visit libraries in the future.
Do they also remove (digitally burn) the books that contain words that are not compatible with their current/future corporate image?
