What I should be doing right now is playing Tomb Raider: Underworld for a last minute slightly behind-the-pack review, but I nevertheless find myself distracted by indie game fancies. Night of the Cephalopods is one such entertainment that takes my attention. While the game itself - one of shooting floating octopi and running for your life - is a little underwhelming, it’s the presentation that really makes this an interesting oddity: your actions are fully ...

A recent study by Telefonica and Universidad de Navarra mentioned that 95% of people between the age of 6-18 access the Internet on a regular basis (not to be confused with Internet penetration).

The most popular activities online are communication - particularly instant messaging ...

As originally published in The New Republican Click here to discuss On Election Night, a Democrat, in his late 40s, wins the Presidency. His party wins majorities in the House and Senate. Conservatism is thought dead. Political pundits predict that the Republicans will need to wait a long while before vying for the Presidency again. President Bill Clinton was this Democrat in 1992. In 2008, Barack Obama followed suit. Although much speculation surrounds the next ...

Is blogging a serious crime? And is speaking up for others something which warrants punishment? Egyptian blogger Hanan El Sherif wrote about blogging and bloggers in Egypt (Ar) saying: التدوين وسيلة من وسائل التعبير عن الرأي، فى البداية كان لفظ مدون يثير للغرابة لسامعه للمرة الأولى ويتسائل ماذا تعنى كلمة مدون؟ وفى خلال شهور معدودة احتل التدوين مكانة بين العامة والخاصة بداية من كبار الكتاب والمشاهير حتى ما دون الثالثة عشرة عام وفى فترة وجيزة ...

A new book that’s been released by Vice in the UK that celebrates two of its most iconic youth tribes: skinheads and punks. It’s a sequel to Gavin Watson’s classic book ‘Skins‘ which documented the working class subculture and how its look was adopted later by right wing extremists. Now Gavin Watson publishes a book that mixes images of that tribe with the photos of the punk movement. The Vice site says: Skins & Punks ...

I'm in DC right now, gearing up for SSDP's 10th Annual International Conference, which I'm sure you already know all about. I'm actually burning the midnight oil with SSDP's eastern region outreach director Amber Langston. We can see Prince George's County from her house, a place where the county council just voted to do something very unlikely to achieve the goals the council hopes it will. I think it will do just the opposite.The council ...

В "Плоском мире" философ Фридман пишет о развитии мира так: Сначала были государства. Они собирали налоги и на эти бабки поддерживали нормальное фунционирование человечества на планете в целом. Это была первая стадия глобализации. До этого, типа, был совсем бардак. Потом были корпорации. Они стерли границы между государствами и в чём-то из заменили. Мир плясал под дудку прогресса, прогресс делали корпорации. Мы сейчас, говорит Фридман, живём как-раз где-то в конце этого самого периода и/или в начале ...

Mary Dollinger, qui est Anglaise mais vit en France depuis plus de quarante ans, vient de sortir un petit livre: "Et le bébé était cuit à point". Bon, il faut avouer que je n'étais pas enthousiasmée à première vue. Déjà, parce que Mary connaît beaucoup de gens dans la blogosphère et, logique, n'a obtenu que des critiques positives pour ce livre (c.f. le blog de Mandor). Quand je vois ça, mon alarme à copinage vire ...
