YoVille Achieves Record Daily Traffic Numbers Despite Protests
Over the weekend I wrote about the “massive protests” taking place in Zynga’s virtual world YoVille. I kind of poked at the protesters in the article because they are the vocal minority. When you’re in the midst of a protest it appears as if everybody is protesting. The new changes were controversial for those users who had spent time and money on the game over the past year or two. The main issue was that users are now forced to return to the game on a timed basis in order to earn revenue. I’m still not convinced it’s an unfair…

Though a person can always flush this out through regular bowel movement, there are fecal wastes that are accumulated in the colon wall that cannot be easily removed.
A healthy diet composed of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber is one of the…

Aceh passes adultery stoning law
The law was passed unanimously by Aceh’s regional legislature, said assembly member Bahrom Rasjid. Opponents had tried to delay the law, saying more debate was needed because it imposes capital punishment. Sharia law was partially introduced in Aceh in 2001, as part of a government offer to pacify separatist rebels. A peace deal in 2005 ended the 30-year separatist insurgency, and many of the former rebels have now entered Aceh’s government. “This law will be effective in 30 days with or without the approval of Aceh’s governor,” said Bahrom Rasjid. The governor of Aceh, a former rebel with the Free…

Zimbabwean minister denounces EU
Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said the EU delegation had sided with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

But Mr Tsvangirai accuses Mr Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party of continuing to persecute members of his former opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Mugabe’s early optimismAfter the EU delegation…

I-Swarm robot update
Back in October we reported on the I-Swarm robotics project. [Travis] sent us some more information. These tiny robots are programmed optically and are able to respond to programming commands via an infrared signal. Locomotion is facilitated with piezoelectric actuators and the power to the units provided through a solar cell. It is not clear that this project is still ongoing as the I-Swarm web page lists a project termination date of 6/31/2008. That being said, the video embedded after the break was posted two days ago showing swarm movement and detailing the programming, testing, and hardware specifics.
