Looks Like the NYT was Wrong on Graphic Ads

On December 22, Marissa Mayer in the official Google Blog writes: “The recent announcement of the AOL partnership has been the source of a lot of rumors and misconceptions (...) There will be no banner ads on the Google homepage or web search results pages.”

SketchFighter 4000

This Mac OS X arcade game is made to look just like it would be sketched on paper by a creative and bored kid. From the site:

“Remember those super-cool space ships you doodled on graph paper, waging massive intergalactic battles in History class with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance? Well they have sprung to life in SketchFighter 4000 Alpha! Bringing together line artwork created with One Pen together with a killer resolution independent OpenGL graphics engine may seem like an odd juxtaposition... that is until you give SketchFighter 4000 Alpha a whirl!”
