I’ve seen these types of mini projector flashlights before, but a) they weren’t shaped like a miniature Wiimote and b) they didn’t project characters from one of the greatest video game racing franchises of all time. So if you happen to be as big a fan of Mario Kart as I am, and don’t need a pocket-friendly flashlight that’s particularly bright or useful in any way, head on over to ThinkGeek who are selling these mini projectors which are actually fully licensed by Nintendo. It seems you don’t get to choose which of the 6 characters they’ll send you (Mario, Princess, Luigi, Yoshi, Wario & Baby Mario) but at just $5.99 I don’t see how you can go wrong.

Kingston Releases 64GB DataTraveler Flash Drive

By Luke AndersonMost laptops today come with over 100GB of hard drive space, which is plenty for most people. Honestly, even with my entire music collection littering my MacBook Pro, I still have more room than I think I’ll really ever use.

Most laptops today come with over 100GB of hard drive space, which is plenty for most people. Honestly, even with my entire music collection littering my MacBook Pro, I still have more room than I think I’ll really ever use. However, if you deal with large file sizes and don’t feel like lugging around a portable hard drive, then you may want to check out the latest flash drives from Kingston.

My very first flash drive had a whopping 64MB of storage, which seemed pretty cool back when they were first coming out. When compared to this new 64GB DataTraveler drive, it seems downright puny. The drive comes in both 32GB and 64GB varieties and will set you back $69 and $129 respectively.

"AWS has finally terminated the frozen instances. But the EBS volume is still detaching and has been for hours. It doesn't seem like we will be able to get into it at this point. Some time in the last month or so, our EBS snapshotting of this stuck volume seems to have stopped working correctly.... We have gone back and run through all the snapshots, and the last good snapshot that we have is from October 1."Discuss

Casual Internet Use Is Good for Kids, 3 Year Study Concludes

Self Directed Exploration Uniquely MotivatingNew media allow for a degree of freedom and autonomy for youth that is less apparent in classroom setting. Youth respect one another's authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn from peers than from adults. Their efforts are also largely self-directed, and the outcome emerges through exploration, in contrast to classroom learning that is oriented toward set, predefined goals.New Forms of Learning Essential to Participation in Contemporary SocietySocial and recreational new media use as a site of learning. Contrary to adult perceptions, while hanging out online, youth are picking up basic social and technological skills they need to fully participate in contemporary society. Erecting barriers to participation deprives teens of access to these forms of learning. Participation in the digital age means more than being able to access "serious" online information and culture. Youth could benefit from educators being more open to forms of experimentation and social exploration that are generally not characteristic of educational institutions.Adults Should Help This ProcessYouth using new media often learn from their peers, not teachers or adults, and notions of expertise and authority have been turned on their heads. Such learning differs fundamentally from traditional instruction and is often framed negatively by adults as a means of "peer pressure." Yet adults can still have tremendous influence in setting "learning goals," particularly on the interest-driven side, where adult hobbyists function as role models and more experienced peers.Discuss
