An anonymous reader writes "The Seoul Metropolitan Government just rolled
out the [0]world's first commercial all-electric bus service. The buses
were designed to be as efficient as possible — each bus can run up to
about 52 miles on a single charge and they have a maximum speed of about
62 miles per hour. The vehicles' lithium-ion battery packs can be fully
charged in less than 30 minutes and they also feature regenerative
braking systems that reuse energy from brakes when running downhill."

[0]Hugh Pickens writes "Fox News reports that Sony has posted a
cautionary note on its Japanese website that 'vision of children under
the age of six has been said [to be in the] developmental stage,' adding
that 3D content 'delivers 3D images with different left and right images,
[which] [1]has a potential impact on the growth of children's eyes.' The
notice went to say that Sony recommends that all viewers [2]take regular
breaks while watching 3D video or playing stereoscopic 3D games (google
translation). Dr. Michael Ehrenhaus, an ophthalmologist with New York
Cornea Consultants, thinks Nintendo and Sony may be getting ahead of
themselves with these disclaimers. 'It's hard to say that it'll ruin
development,' says Ehrenhaus."

the dubious honor of being [0]the most pirated game of 2010. The PC
version of the game was torrented roughly 4,270,000 times, and the Xbox
360 version was downloaded an additional 930,000 times. (The most pirated
Wii game was Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Dante's Inferno somehow managed to
accrue the most downloads of Xbox 360 games.) Fortunately for Activision,
the game has still made over $1 billion in sales, and its 20,000,000+
players have [1]racked up over 600,000,000 man-hours of play time since
the game's launch in early November.
