Subjective reality

A recent study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that adults in their 60s and 70s who played an off the shelf video game (Rise of Nations) would increase the scores on memory tests and other tasks involving the brain. The type of game that requires players to build nations, feed virtual ppl and basically be the creator is the ones they refer to. It didn't mention anything about action games or racing sims but it is quite possible that most modern day games will have a similar effect. The Sims series, black & white, world of warcraft maybe. Or even handheld gaming consoles like the nintendo ds with brain age or cell phones strategy games. My favorite one to think one may recieve a mind boost from is half life, since the entire game is strategy yet incorparates very astounding graphics and high paced action parts as well. I love half life myself so this would be cool to test out.
About 3-4 months ago I recall reading an article in, i believe it was parade magazine, about how the mind starts to deteriorate at around mid-thirties. This was found out from some university researching alzheimer's. Now if only there was a way to use all 10% of our brain, but maybe we can't figure out everything on how the mind works because basically one would have to determine weather or not ones mind is functioning correctly using..their mind! ~MIndboGGlinG~ what color is clear? where is the end of the world?

the worlds most used web browser has a major security flaw. ok so here's what is said about it. Microsoft reported a significant increase in the number of users infected with malware targeting a vulnerability in Internet Explorer widely reported last week. The flaw affects all supported editions of IE.

Hackers have begun compromising Web sites to infect vulnerable computers with malware that exploits a zero-day flaw in Internet Explorer revealed last week.

Microsoft reported a significant increase in the number of infected users over the weekend, and researchers at Trend Micro estimated about 6,000 sites had been infected. The move is a shift in tactics for hackers, who had been relying on rogue Web sites to propagate their malware.

Microsoft is working on a solution which will come in the form of a security patch for the browser. They advise to use an alternate browser until then, such as Opera

Was yesterday (Nov. 22nd) *sigh* I really hoped it would be something I could share with my grandchildren someday. I can't even begin to discribe how bad it was! Mythbusters, charlie the unicorn and the guy on the piano were like the only decent things to happen. That beat boxer dude was annoying the hell out of me and the gay guy was swearing a little too much. Plus the audience either were not impressed by this event or the streaming video didn't pick up ambient sound very well. Lisanova was looking pretty (as always) What the Buck was pretty cool but his dancing skills suck! LOL Oh and the dancing guys, I forget the name. Check out youtube live for the videos of the event and post a comment if you have a channel.
