[TECHNOLOGY NEWS] Look, a unicorn! Music video pays tribute to geeky gals and gamer girls

http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/09/11/5092629-look-a-unicorn-music-video-pays-tribute-to-geeky-gals-and-gamer-girls


"Hello friends, don't you want to meet a nice girl?"
So asks Seth Green — TV, movie and video game star — as he opens the "Geek and Gamer Girls" music video unleashed on the Internet Friday by Team Unicorn.
Seems Green knows where you can find all the nicest (and badass-est) girls: playing video games and hanging out in comic book stores.
The video, which pays tribute to all the women out there who love gaming, manga and all things sci-fi, stars the members of Team Unicorn.
These four women have got some serious game and geek cred. They are: Michele Boyd(actress from "The Guild"), Clare Grant (voice actress for "Robot Chicken" and Green's wife), Milynn Sarley (TheGamerChick) and Rileah Vanderbilt (actress from horror films "Hatchet" and "Frozen"). Grant and Vanderbilt also starred in the "Star Wars" fan video "Saber."
So why does they go by the name Team Unicorn? "Because like unicorns, geek girls are not supposed to exist," they told the Official Star Wars blog.
Go ahead, check out the video and see if you can catch all the geek references and spot all the geek supa-stars making cameos.
We, love Stan Lee (Excelsior!)
And Joss created all our favorite shows
We Frag
In our sleep
We will pwn your ass in Halo (Uh-oh)
Winda Benedetti is the unicorn who writes the Citizen Gamer column for msnbc.com. You can follow her tweets about games and other things right here on Twitter.

[INFORMATION] Today's Vision of Tomorrow: Tiny Robots Doing Your House Chores

Today's Vision of Tomorrow: Tiny Robots Doing Your House Chores BY Kit EatonFri Feb 12, 2010 Forget the robocalypse: Remember the robot-laden utopian home of the future, as portrayed in the Jetsons and a thousand sci-fi shows? It's on its way, and surprisingly soon you'll find many a household task in the hands (claws?) of a robot. At CES this year, Evolution Robotics wowed many a person in the crowd with its unbelievable cute little Mint robot. This diminutive machine, which is now available on pre-order, takes a leaf out of the Roomba's product manual, but instead of zig-zagging its way across your apartment's floors vacuuming-up crud, the Mint is actually a sweeperbot. And it's built around simplicity: There are only three buttons on the thing, and all you have to do to kick it off is stick either a new wet or dry Swiffer pad on its bottom and select the corresponding mode by button. Despite its simple UI, it's got inertial measurement systems,...

[LATIN AMERICA NEWS] How Hugo Chávez wins by losing in Venezuela

Ariana Cubillos / AP Posters for the September 26 legislative election. Failing Upward How Hugo Chávez wins by losing in Venezuela. by  Mac Margolis September 20, 2010 Consider what President Hugo Chávez’s “Bolivarian Revolution” has wrought on Venezuela. The national economy is deep in recession. Chronic power outages darken homes, factories, and shops. Inflation, at 30 percent a year, ranks among the world’s worst. Ditto for murders, which according to  official numbers  spiked to 21,132 in 2009—or one homicide every half hour. Just about anywhere on the planet, such failed leadership would prove toxic for an incumbent and bolster his challenger. But in Venezuela, where Chávez presides with a combination of fear, favors, cooked books, and rigged rules, the standard political calculus doesn’t always apply. Chávez has suffered, surely. Serial crises have galvanized his enemies, frustrated loyalists, and sunk his approval rating below 40 percent. That’s his lowest leve...
