“Have you checked on the children?” – Review
This past weekend I went with a group of friends to go see When a Stranger Calls. The movie was not the best I have seen but it definitely got a 7 out of 10 in my book. It was of course a remake of the 1979 When a Stranger Calls. I guess they can't make anything new anymore, lol. The movie had a decent plot, but the suspense was what gave it the 5 out of 7 . At times during the movie, the entire audience would come out of their seats, even letting a few words fly from their mouths in panic. I honestly don't remember jumping that much in a movie in a long time. If you want a good scare, and possibly new fears next time your alone (says a friend who started having them...lol)(hey a few rustling heaving breathing prank phone calls might of helped...lol..but who..hehe), go see it!

"While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops."

Hyperdrive engine could let us reach Mars in 3 hours
The US military is considering testing the principle behind a type of space drive which holds the promise of reaching Mars in just three hours. Sounds like these guys have been watching too much Star Wars, but will it really work? I can see it 10 years from now,
Scenario:
(Kid gets ready for school, walks out to the bus stop then realizes he forgot something and runs back in the house.)
Kid: "Mom, mommm, I need you!"
Mom: "What is it Johnny?"
Kid: "I need you to sign my parental consent form for a field trip."
Mom: "No problem honey, Where are you going?"
Kid: "Ohh just Mars again. It should take us 3 hours to get there , we'll stay for about 2 hours, have our nice sack lunches, then head back home ."
Mom: "Ok Johnny. You be careful now, listen to your teacher. When she tells you to roll the window up, roll it up this time. And no poking holes in each others space suits, them things are expensive. And here take my 1000 mega pixel camera and get some good pictures of Cydonia while your there."
Kid: "Ok..Thanks mom!! See you this afternoon!!
