This is a toy that comes as part of a kiddies meal on the Brittany Ferries boat. The game is fairly standard but take a look at the translation of the instructions on the back (presumably from Chinese).
Yikes!

It’s been done before, but never with such gruesome attention to detail.
The Sky Hawk RC glider (£250) streams a live 5 megapixel SD recordable video feed back to a 3.5″ (8.9cm) LCD screen on the controller.
The glider has an onboard gyro and can be switched to self-correcting autopilot mode for balanced flight.
The second delayed film from MGM that Chris Hemsworth stars in (the other was Cabin in the Woods) finally sees the light of day: a remake of the cliché-ridden 1984 classic.
This time, the Russians are replaced by North Koreans (the Red Menace was originally to have been China but a hasty rewrite was done so as not to offend the new paymasters).
We somehow doubt the heroes of this piece will be referred to as ‘insurgents’.
Bonus: the trailer for the original movie:

Payphone Art
at
Call Parade – an ongoing public art project on the streets of São Paulo in Brazil gives 100 artists a free hand to transform the hooded payphone booths of the city into whatever they see fit. The photos above were taken by Brazilian photographer Marianne Borgomani who sez:
When I lived in Sao Paulo every phone booth (whenever I needed one) were either completely useless or just vandalized. When VIVO (phone carrier) took over the Spanish Telefonica they came up with the Call Parade Project and yesterday I was in awe: when art interacts with people, people respect it. As a result, neat and functional phone booths.
Sure you’d nearly ditch the mobile on the strength of it.
All 100 designs can be viewed here.
