A few months back we realized that we don't know Kentucky from Kansas thanks to Statetris, an online game that combines geography with Tetris. At the time, all we could do is bungle the placement of US states. But now that Statetris has gone international, we realize just how little we know about world geography.Filed under: Fun, Games, Internet, Kids, Blogging, Web services, Social Software
One thing that tends to take a while in the Web 2.0 market is the expansion to non-English speaking markets. Even Google is guilty of waiting a while to open up services for non-English speaking residents of the world. Filed under: Internet, Kids, News, E-mail, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, Open Source

Microsoft is doing some connecting with leading edge suppliers in Europe to boost its Live service. Soon 375 millions people are going to be able to IM each other using mobiles or PC's though a deal with Orange in France. The new service will be called Orange Messenger by Windows Live. The application will essentially allow Orange customers to either use the IM tool online, or on their mobile devices to connect to other Windows Live Messenger users. Microsoft and Orange will be joining users in Spain and the UK as well in the near future. Microsoft chose to work with Orange because they are the leading edge supplier in mobile communications in Europe, and there are not many leading edge communication developments being made in the US.

"an array of multimedia tools for identifying and indexing images, sound and text," including "a
powerful translating tool which will be able to 'understand' audio as well as text," and available on mobile
devices and digital TVs. Beyond that, the article is tantalizingly vague, and includes this less-than-promising
passage: "The ambitious project will probably not be available anytime in the
near future. Quaero is still in the earliest stages of development, so early that none of the major players have yet
ventured a guess as to how much the project might cost. When Quaero does launch, it
will have a great deal of catching up to do." Good luck with that, Chirac.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
