I'm not really convinced. Shouldn't our governments be tracking it anyway? All I got when I read this was a vision of a nuclear bomb going off about half a mile off, you see it coming, and your phone starts to bleep - warning - dangerous levels of radiation. Useful! A better warning might be... run like hell...!

Feed Engadget: Xbox 360 price slashed 13% in Japan (engadget.com)

Filed under: Gaming

Microsoft just trimmed 13% of the price from its Xbox 360 console in Japan. The move comes on the heels of Sony's own PS3 slash and launch of their new bare-bones 40GB PS3 console -- a move resulting in a dramatic uptick in sales for Sony. Nintendo Wii pricing has thus far remained unchanged for the holiday season. While we'd love for Microsoft to extend the discounts to the rest of the world -- we doubt they'll do so. This move is meant to shore up demand in Japan where Xbox 360 sales struggle against the homegrown Wii and PS3. Of course, we're more than happy to be proven wrong.

[Thanks, Tris]

richards1052 writes: "The Internet Archive, whose main claim to fame is the Wayback Machine, designed to archive the internet's web history, has created a new project: the Open Content Alliance. It's purpose is to open the nation's library collections to universal web search. A number of major library systems, including the Boston Public Library and Smithsonian, have refused to sign up with competing ventures by Microsoft and Google because they do not provide for universal access to digitized books. These commercial ventures prohibit books being accessed by competing search engines. So far, 80 libraries and research institutions have signed on with Open Content Alliance. They must pay for the scanning of their books while Google and Microsoft offset that cost for their participating institutions."

What at first may seem like any other feature length zombie film to the average web scavenger, the movie Human Residue is not. This movie not only has some very well done zombies, and it will be in HD, but it also aims "to be one of the first truly free feature films made available in the digital age."
