……No Strings (or Controllers) Attached. Really, Project Natal is what Microsoft is calling it, and its a new revolutionary way of interactive gaming.  Its sort of like taking the Nintendo Wii to the next level.  Remember movies like Minority report well its being reality year by year.

This is a must see, “It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.”

This is pretty old now, but a lot of people actually don’t know about it. It’s a great service from Google which works just like any other 411 service you may use just that this is free and voice controlled.
It is so innovative that you say a business name, city and state, and it gives you all the information. You can also actually say details and text message and it actually send you a text message with the address of the place you asked for. This is very useful you for instance if are looking for a location that your GPS does not have. You can easily get the address from Google 411, put in the address in your GPS, and then be on your way.

Who got fooled on april fools day by the conficker worm?

Not me! at least am hoping not. Apparently , this thing sits on your pc waiting for instructions from a hacker on what to do. Its like you send a person to travel around the world, picking up artifacts and memorabilia for you and when you are ready , you just send a text message saying come home and then, wow!, goodies!

Pretty interesting, I would say a way to kill the virus when detected would be to RE-instruct it to infect the hackers computer when the hacker tells the virus to send information to it. Watch this video , explains it all.
