After Spitzer scandal who got the gets Virgin treatment and beginning today, Virgin Mobile Canada is giving Canadians the chance to vote for Barack Obama by voting for their favorite Obama “You Call the Shots” ad at Metronews.ca.

“Virgin Mobile Canada has political fever, and
is calling on Canadians to cast their vote for Barack Obama and tell them
which Obama-themed ad should be the next in Virgin Mobile’s “You Call The
Shots” campaign.
As part of its latest campaign to introduce their new “no-con” contracts
to mobile phone lovers from coast to coast, Virgin Mobile has run a new series
of ads in Metro News featuring politicians who are making the news. First
Hillary Clinton wondered if she could get her bill under control. Next, former
New York Governor Elliot Spitzer was lamenting about how tired he was of being
treated like a number.” [CNW]

NewScientist posted a video on youtube which talks bout about a new computer game that guides children as they brush their teeth.

Here’s a novel way to encourage young children to brush up on their oral hygiene – turn a toothbrush into a simple version of a Nintendo Wii remote and turn a chore into a fun computer game.Parents or professionals trying to teach young children to brush their teeth are faced with two problems. Many youngsters are unwilling to brush their teeth in the first place. Then, even if they can be persuaded, they often lack the skill to brush them effectively – for example, the average five-year old brushes only a quarter of their teeth.” [NewScientist]

He also argued that excessive - as he put it - sending of SMS’s or computer gaming should be put into the same category as an internet disorder.”[Cellular News] via [American Journal Of Psychiatry]

The Osborne 1 was the word’s first self-contained portable personal computer. Many of the design decisions and innovations first seen in the Osborne 1 are still being used today some 25-plus years later. We could not resist taking a look inside this piece of computing history.” link
