Quote from Gizmodo
"When you look past the annoying voice of the fish, the technology is pretty cool. Dan Ros implanted a MBED chip in the fish and added an SD card with .wav files. But having the fish say recorded phrases was just boring so he came up with the Twitter idea, attached an Ethernet wire and wrote some MBED code."

Guilty of credit card fraud
By Dawn Tay
RECENTLY crowned Miss Singapore World Ris Low, 19, had earlier been found guilty of credit-card fraud.
The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.
The first-time offender was sentenced in May this year to 24 months of supervised probation, said a Subordinate Courts spokesman in response to a query from my paper.
Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing, he said.
Court documents show that Miss Low spent a total of more than $2,400 on at least four separate occasions, using at least three different credit cards in April and May last year.
She bought two gold anklets worth almost $1,000, a $698 mobile phone, and food and drinks at a swanky restaurant.
It is not known how she obtained the credit cards.
my paper understands that her previous employer, a healthcare company, made a police report about her in April last year.
It suspected that Miss Low, who worked there for five months as a patient-service assistant, had used credit cards belonging to its patients. It asked her to leave the following month.
Before leaving, she was said to have returned a part - an unspecified sum - of the total amount she had spent using the cards.
When contacted, Miss Low, now a student, said that she was "not in a position to comment".
The organiser of the Miss Singapore World pageant, ERM World, did not respond to queries as to whether it was aware of her criminal record during the pageant.
The international Miss World pageant will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December.
It is unclear whether Miss Low will be allowed to leave the country to take part in it.

Charged for calls, but SIM card was not even unwrapped
By The AsiaOne Techbot
One wouldn't expect STOMP reader Joe (not his real name) to be upset when he saw charges for SIM card use and mobile services in his latest phone bill.
The catch is, the SingTel customer had yet to use his phone, and his SIM card was not even taken out from its wrapper.
Writing to the citizen journalism website, Joe, who sent by the username xxxunseenxxx, said that the charges were found in his September phone bill.
He had subscribed to a new SingTel mobile phone line in early August, but due to various reasons, had never got around to using the SIM card.
According to pictures provided by Joe, the bill showed that he was charged for five minutes of outgoing local calls, and was subscribed to two ColourMe Tone services.
Joe was sure he never incurred any charges on his mobile phone line.
He told STOMP, "That's because the SIM card wasn't even detached from the original plastic sheet, nor taken out of the original plastic wrapper, nor put into a phone."
Calls to the telco's customer service hotline to dispute the charges were too, an unpleasant experience, according to Joe.
"Calling Singtel's line to dispute the charges, the CSO just blamed me for using my line without bothering to check up any facts. I was also told to call back because it's not their problem, I had to go settle with the billing department myself.
"I think Singtel has gone too far.
"I'm getting charges for phone calls I never made, for services I never signed up for, nor ever had a chance to opt out from.
"I think everyone needs to be more wary of what Singtel is putting into their bills."

PS2, Dreamcast Games May Come to PSN, Says Apparently Leaked Doc
PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility could be returning to the PlayStation 3, according to what appears to be an internal document accidentally leaked by Sega of America, one that hints at downloadable previous gen games available on a case-by-case basis.
That document, uncovered by French gaming web site Objectif-Sega, notes that "SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN," which may indicate a strategy similar to the one Sony has taken with original PlayStation games, released as "PSone Classics." The document appears to be a list of notes from a meeting between Sega of America and Robert Dyer, senior vice president of publisher relations for Sony Computer Entertainment America, dated from early August.
The notes mention two titles, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and an unspecified Sonic the Hedgehog game—there are seven Sonic-starring games for the PS2—as examples of candidates for release.
If the document is legitimate and the notes are accurate, the plan to offer downloadable PlayStation 2 games makes a good deal of sense. Sony just recently announced the God of War collection, which bundles the first two games in the series on a Blu-ray disc for the PS3, with a handful of enhancements. The ability to offer individual games certainly makes a greater deal of business sense, considering the PlayStation 2's 1800 game strong library would offer ample opportunity for profit on digital downloads.
The same document also mentions what appears to be downloadable Dreamcast titles for the PlayStation Network. Those titles don't appear to be exclusive to the PlayStation 3, however, as the rumored meeting notes read "If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they're interested in having exclusively."
We've attempted to verify the validity of the document and are seeking comment with Sega of America and Sony Computer Entertainment, but did not hear back before publishing. And, for the record, the above image is merely a Kotaku-created mock up.
Also, the folks at Objectif-Sega appear to have retracted their story at the request of Sega France. For me at least, the document in question appears to still be live at Sega's press FTP.
