I remember when video games were about getting Mario to save the princess and, when you were done, the console would leave you the hell alone. The new Xbox one apparently wants to put an end to those days by turning the beloved game console into a 24/7 surveillance device. The Xbox One will bundle the Kinect – a device that captures motion and sound - with every console and its camera and mic will be always on by default. In fact, Xbox One will actually refuse to work if the Kinect is not connected to it. So the camera and mic will work even when the console is turned off. And the camera will even work in the dark. Yup. It will also be able to read your facial expressions and count the people in the room with you (there are also talks of charging Pay-Per-View movies PER PERSON in the room). Read more »

Get ready for QE2. The asteroid, that is…not the cruise ship.
It’s not the doomsday asteroid, but it is paying us a visit — from a safe distance.
The asteroid, designated 1998 QE2, will pass us at about 5.8 million km, or about 15 times the distance between Earth and the moon. Although it may seem like that’s pretty far, astronomically speaking, it’s close enough.
Astronomers believe the asteroid is about 2.7 km long. That would be 9 Queen Elizabeth 2 ship-lengths.
The asteroid will make its closest approach at 4:59 p.m. EST on May 31st and astronomers are anxiously awaiting its arrival so they can observe the asteroid and learn as much as they can about it. Read more »
