Description:
Enemies are invading the earth and it's up to you to save them. You have the protection of 4 Shields which will protect you until the enemies reach them, they will then erode as the enemies get closer. You start the game with 3 ships, every third level you earn a new ship. You move your ship left or right whilst avoiding the enemy fire and destroy all of the enemies before they land on earth. If you destroy them all then the screen will fill with another barrage of enemies, this time one step closer to the earth and depending on your level the number of enemies will increase (up to a maximum of 55). This continues until the enemies reach earth or you lose all your ships. Each new level the difficulty will slowly increase, with the enemies slowly increasing their pace and increasing their firing abilities. This is a game of strategy, endurance and skill. During game play you can pause the game and alter the settings. In the settings you can turn sound on/off, shields on/off or select one of four control schemes. Control Schemes: In the full version you have the choice of the Touch Control, Joystick Control, Button Control and Tilit Control. These are covered in the help screens and on the support site. To increase your score you can hit the random UFO which will appear at the top of the screen. This has a points value between 5 and 30 based which is calculated using a special formula. The full version of Invazion features a game saving ability. Anytime you exit the application (for example using the home key) the game state will be saved. In addition the pause screen in the full version features a save game option which can be used at any time. On re-entering the application you will have the option to resume a saved game.

She is cofounder of the art, technology and activist group, Preemptive Media, and currently Assistant Professor of New Media at Purchase College, State University of New York. She exhibits and lectures internationally, including at The Andy Warhol Museum; The Whitney Museum of American Art; and La Biennale de Montréal. With her collective Preemptive Media, Brooke was awarded the first Social Sculpture Commission by Eyebeam Art and Technology Center and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in 2005. She has received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), and Franklin Furnace.br / br / Brooke Singer's work explores and blurs the borders between science, technology, politics and arts practice. The form may include a web site, video, installation, performance, toolkit, workshop, lecture or combination of these elements. Her projects generally attempt to make the invisible visible (pollution, surveillance, databases) and turn dusty data into dynamic experiences. She views collaboration as a type of microcosm (or beta-testing) for the larger dialogue she hopes her work provokes.br / br / :: Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga is an artist based in Brooklyn and an Associate Professor of Art at The College of New Jersey.

Currently only citizens registered to vote may participate in the election for the next President. However within the borders of the United States reside nearly 40 million non-citizen residents, permanent residents, most legal, some undocumented, but all are active members of the U.S. economy and society. The artist feels that the majority of these residents would eagerly vote if given the opportunity.

GM made its position clear in a statement just released (read in full after the jump) that "bankruptcy protection is not an option." It's true that both automakers are in a bad way after yesterday's sell off. a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/general-motors-corporation/gm/nys"Shares of GM/a ended the day at 4.76, which gave the giant U.S. automaker a a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_capitalization"market capitalization/a (cost of a single share times the number of shares outstanding) of less than $3 billion, while a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/ford-motor-company/f/nys"Ford shares/a closed at just 2.08 to give the Blue Oval a market cap of $4.7 billion. Further adding fuel to the fire is speculation that the debt rating of each automaker may slip further into junk status. br /br /But how real a prospect is bankruptcy for these two iconic automakers? Though some consider the prospect a real, if almost inevitable, possibility, the reality is that neither GM nor Ford is likely to voluntarily enter Chapter 11 anytime soon. For one, both companies still have billions of dollars of cash on hand that should last them well into 2009, despite the fact they're burning through their reserves at an increasingly quicker pace. They also have still have untapped lines of credit and assets to unload. Ford has sold off a number of its brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover, while GM is seeking buyers for HUMMER and its medium-duty truck business. br /br /But the real obstacle to bankruptcy is the position that these two companies hold in the fabric of American life, which is both material and emotional. Combined they employ hundreds of thousands of people and indirectly are responsible for many times more. They're also more near and dear to our hearts than big investment banks on Wall St., so politicians would likely step in before it was too late. No one can predict the future, and the markets seem to be stuck in a self-perpetuating downward spiral at the moment, but that doesn't mean we should listen to alarmists on TV looking for higher ratings.br /br /[Source: a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-carstocks10-2008oct10,0,6199482.story"LA Times/a, General Motors]br /____________________________________________________br /emThis post has been Twittered. a href="http://twitter.com/therealautoblog"Click here/a to follow Autoblog on Twitter/empa href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/10/gm-bankruptcy-protection-iis-not-an-option/" rel="bookmark"Continue reading emGM: "bankruptcy protection is not an option"/em/a/ph6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"/h6a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/10/gm-bankruptcy-protection-iis-not-an-option/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"Permalink/anbsp;|nbsp;a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1338706/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"Email this/anbsp;|nbsp;a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/10/gm-bankruptcy-protection-iis-not-an-option/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"Comments/a pa href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~a/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=9FHtO9"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~a/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=9FHtO9" border="0"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=yiKxm"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=yiKxm" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=02Fum"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=02Fum" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~r/weblogsinc/autoblog/~4/416890256" height="1" width="1"/

Linux has come a long way in those intervening 17 years, which are a bit like dog years with respect to how computer technology (both hardware and software) moves at an accelerated pace compared to other technologies and areas of the economy. It is hard to say if Linux is middle-aged or not, since the successors to OS/360 are still around...br[a href=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/09/linux_at_17/ title=linklink/a] [a href=http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_at_17_What_Windows_promised_to_be title=moremore/a]
