-cool website from Ars Electronica that tracts predictions for future technologies for the next 25 years. Very cool, you can make your own predictions and vote on others.
- the rebirth of The Bard's Tale is looking like it will one of the funniest things on your computer.
- RIP, Fred Whipple, comet and satelite pioneer. He invented aircraft chaff, discovered that comets are "dirty snowballs", not flying clouds of dust, predicted artifical satelites long before Sputnik.
- surprisingly funny crayon review by Spiderman. Just look at it.
- how stupid is this? The company that originally sold 9/11 toys with a plane flying into 2 buildings now sold a Bin Laden toy. The comapny deserves to go out of business.
-Apple releases the new iMac G5. I'm not impressed. It'd look cool with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but the ports are hard to get at and the wires coming off of them would look ugly. I'd rather have a Power Mac and a new Cinema display.
- video game sales predicted to shrink slightly. I don't believe it, not after this Christmas season.
- Wired.com has a piece on vote swapping sites. These sites have sucker written all over them.
