Echoes
Echoes

A great free game, Echoes is Asteroids on crack.  Binaryzoo.com describes it best,

"Yeah, it's a bit like Asteroids hyperactive, drug crazed brother displayed in blur-o-vision© and viewed through psychedelic sunglasses in a cheap nightclub."

The controls do take a little getting used to (mouse & keyboard combination) but the game is a lot of fun.

Swedish company Ericsson initiates the Bluetooth Technology movement in 1994. Bluetooth is a wireless radio standard designed for low power, short-wave device communication. In February 1998, five major companies found the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). Today, many devices such as cell phones, PDAs, computers, and hands-free devices include integrated BlueTooth technology.

VNES
VNES
Play your favorite Nintendo Entertainment System games online with vNES.  They boast the largest online collection and have many of your favorite titles.  How about a round of Super Mario Brothers or MegaMan.  I chose to play Marble Madness and Mrs Pacman but I'm sure your favorites are listed.  Controls are simple, arrows keys to move, Enter key for Start and Z/X for action buttons.  If controls don't work right away, simply double click on the Java screen.  Enjoy it while it lasts, it can't be legal.  If it is, maybe the owner can explain to us how he's doing it without Nintendo riding his, or her tail.

This video is in no way shape or form a tech clip.  I am not posting it to show you any type of new technology.  It just made me so sick to my stomach that I had to share it to spread the word; to show you how, this particular slaughter house, handles their ummm products.  Warning:This is very graphic!  I'm not sure if I will ever eat a steak and not think about this clip.  Yes, I will continue to eat meat if your wondering.  Still very sad indeed.  What are your thoughts on this?

Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita establish Sony on May 7, 1946. The company begins modestly as a maker of a rice boiler. The Sony name is derived as a mix of the Latin word sonus, the English word "sunny," and from the word "Sonny-boys" which is Japanese slang for "whiz kids."
