Ender's game is easily one of the greatest books of all time. It's the story of a child genius. If more kids aspired to be smart like the children in the book, the world would be a better place. Not reading a book won't protect children from the read world.

In a video, a driver wears a EEG head cap, which records brain activity. Software converts the neural signals into steering and acceleration commands, feeding the data into the car's drive-by-wire system. The brain-car interface, which the researchers call the "BrainDriver," is far from being commercially viable. But it could one day allow disabled and paralyzed people to gain more mobility. It could also, the researchers say, help people control autonomous vehicles, like a future driverless cab; just by thinking, passengers would tell the cab where to go."

Mirror's Edge was such a great game. I mean, I honestly must have beaten the campaign on every difficulty at least 11 or 12 times, on both consoles. I mean, the story was fantastic, the gameplay was great, the soundtrack for the game went so perfectly with the game, and to be honest, next to FF7, and a couple other games, Mirror's Edge is up there with my favorite games of all time. They really are making a mistake.
