While vacationing in France, you find a DVD of Ishtar. Score! (It’s never been released on DVD in the US). But when you get home, you discover that you’ve purchased a Region 2 disc, which, in your Region 1 player, is as useful as a coaster. This raises two questions: Why do you want to watch Ishtar? And why do we still have region codes?

The answers: taste and money, respectively. Though there’s no accounting for the former, those codes may soon be gone.

Mothers, lock up your gamers. The PlayStation phone has arrived.

And while it’s a bit on the chubby side, we think that, for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play, big is beautiful.

You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.

Le niveau de sécurite dans les aéroports est tellement sensible que l'on doit être en mesure d'éteindre en moins de 3 minutes tout début d'incendie. Le meilleur moyen pour y parvenir est de remplir de mousse un hangard d'un volume considérable. Afin de vérifier le respect des niveaux de sécurité, un test de mousse est régulièrement effectué. C'est toujours autant impressionnant de voir autant de mousse en si peu de temps ... Il est même étonnant qu'un night club ne soit pas équipé d'un tel engin. Comment font ils pour se débarrasser de la mousse une fois le test terminé ?
The level of security at airports is so sensitive that one should be able to put out an early fire in less than 3 minutes. The best way to do this is to fill the shed of a substantial volume with foam. To verify the compliance with security levels, a foam test is regularly performed.
