Friday’s conversation topic articles. OK, the mid-term elections are over, out with the old and in with the new politicos that will lie and steal and cheat their way to a rich retirement. What’s that old line, “Don’t vote the government always gets elected”, no matter what government always gets bigger and our share to pay for it gets larger. That’s my political rant for this week, let’s move on to more conversational stories;

- Microsoft Kinect system is racist? In a story that was circulated yesterday, the online gamers site gamespot says that people of a darker color have a problem using the Kinect motion sensing system because of their dark skin while white players do not have any troubles. In a contrary report Consumers Report said their testing found no such issues. Gizmodo seems to like the system too.

- The largest plane in the world has engine troubles. Qantas grounded their 9 A380 Airbus planes after a plane lost an engine cover mid-flight. Generally I’m not afraid of flying but geesh… at least the plane did land safely after dumping a lot of fuel and a big left turn for the airport, Singapore’s Changi Airport.

- Has the popular hacker and commotion causing site 4chan finally been outed as an outlet for kiddie porn? Now that would be revenge on the revenge-takers, wouldn’t it?

- Bacon flavored soda pop? Sure, as they say, who has time to make bacon every morning, why not just drink it with your eggs? Ugh. taste test video below.

Have a great weekend!
