Interactive barcodes in newspaper ads
This article is about interactive barcodes.
There is a new offering from google that allows you to purchase advertisements with special barcodes. These barcodes have to be decoded and the message will give you a website address. This form of advertisement has already taken off in Japan.
To decode these barcodes, you will have to have a decoding software that allows you to see the hidden message. This will help advertisers measure response to their ads. Right now the software is only on about 1% of phones, but in the future more phones will have this feature. Right now this method will not be utilized until it is further developed.

NASA – Virtual World
This article is on NASA using virtual space.
NASA hopes this virtual space game would help find the future scientists and engineers needed for the future. They already own an island on Second Life. They hope that one day the public will be able to take part in virtual missions through it. NASA has asked interested organizations to respond by the middle of February so they can start developing the platform.
