Atari Mod, Fth Avenue Mystery, Candidate Wives, and Operation Fair Game

Portable Atari 7800 - Master gaming modder Ben Heck has come out with another mod, this time a portable version of the Atari 78-- with a 7-inc screen, driving/paddle controller and A/V output jacks.

Court Overturns Grounding - In a rather bizarre case, a court judge in Canada overturned the grounding of a 12 year-old citing it unfair. The child was grounded for how she was using the internet and not allowed to go on a trip. He is in a custody battle with the ex-wife so you can imagine what her goals are and the child has very little to do with them. End result is the judge making a decision on what is a parental issue since clearly there were no child endangerment issues. The case should have been tossed and now maybe the judge too.

Cindy McCain Complains - About a month or so after Michelle Obama was attacked by republicans for her so-called lack of patriotism, Cindy (under fire for her tax secrets) has decided its just not fair. The wives should be left alone. Convenient this didn't come out on behalf of Michelle. They are selling their image to the American public as a means of selling their husbands which means they have allowed themselves to be put under the same scrutiny. If they can't handle it, then quit campaigning.

Mystery on Fifth Avenue - Interesting article about an apartment built with secret compartments and messages for a family that may now be turned into a movie by JJ Abrams.

Operation Fair Game: Stop - A video that covers some of the history of the Fair Game policy and the misinformation Scientology is trying to get out about it. Also discusses their tactics in trying to stop the poor press the Anonymous movement is causing them, all based on the Fair Game policy.
