Barack Advertises in Burnout Paradise
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Video Games
We already have seen evidence of advertising in video games. Still reaching out to techie voters, the Obama campaign now has a billboard in the Xbox 360 game Burnout Paradise. Any advertiser can buy space, including those with presidential ambition. On the other side of the fence, the McPalin group has sent a letter to YouTube complaining that the site doesn’t consider fair use in videos before taking some of them down. You can read the entire document at Techdirt.

Obama and McCain’s Playlists
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Music, Portable Audio / Video
The two Presidential candidates were asked what was on their top ten play list. Barack Obama listed “Ready or Not” by the Fugees, “What’s Going On” from Marvin Gaye, and Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” as his top three, while John McCain said that “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA, as well as Roy Orbison’s Blue Bayou” were his faves.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Editorial, Internet, Misc. Tech
While the two Democratic contenders battle it out in Pennsylvania today, we found proof positive that when it comes to silly Internet sites, politicos have too much time on their hands. Designer Adi Marom gives you all the instructions you need to download and make finger puppets of Hillary, Barack, and John. She also encourages you to send a photo of your paper creations to a special Flickr gallery. So far there are all of 36 entires. While it’s obvious that some of us have too much time here, too, we think it would be kewl if you also sent us your creations. And if you live in Pennsylvania, get out there and vote.
