Did you know that there are more emoticons accessible in Skype than the 56 that are displayed during chats ? I’m not sure why those additional ones have not been included in the menu where you can choose the emoticons. The only way to add them to your text would be to enter them manually.

If you wonder what a interactive radio would look like you should visit the Musicovery website. The main part of the website shows songs which are connected by lines to each other. Clicking on a song centers and plays the song and all the adjacent songs are displayed as well. The left menu displays either a mood graph with that shows energetic on the top and calm on the bottom, positive on the right and dark on the left. You can click either on the graph to navigate or click on certain songs to reach a certain position in the graph.

Some of you probably remember the 1991 classic Another World which was released on the Amiga system among others. I loved the game, it had fantastic animation and graphics for the time and it played just fine. Was pretty hard as well but I probably was not that good at playing games at that time. The game was using vector graphics and someone decided that it would be a nice idea to scale the vectors to offer a high res version of the game. You can see and download the results at the another world fanpage. Downloads are only available for pc but that should not be a problem for most. (with the amiga system being nearly dead and all)

I thought about writing on this topic for some time, I think it started with the movie Independence Day. You know, the movie where aliens invade the earth and destroy some major cities and the like. They defeat the aliens by uploading a computer virus to the alien mainframe which of course is compatible to the virus.
