OLPC XO caught playing Super Mario Bros. 3
We've always considered computers to be entertainment machines first, means to an end second, and tools for learning a distant third, so it's no surprise to see thrill-seekers everywhere squeezing every last drop of excitement from the recently-shipped OLPC XOs. While we've already witnessed someone getting their fix of 1992 by hitting up a few rounds of Doom, the latest case of "installing noneducational software on laptops geared for learning" involves none other than Super Mario himself, as a clever individual has not only got Super Mario Bros. 3 up and running on the XO, but captured a video of the feat as well. So go on and click through to sneak a peek yourself, you know you can't resist.Mario question cube girls let off
Remember those five teenage girls from
Ravenna, Ohio, who on the eve of April first placed seventeen Mario Bros. inspired question cubes around town? Well,
after HAZMAT, the Fire Dept. and the five-O were called in and the dust settled it looked like those little ladies were
in for some serious trouble. Though it turns out the town of 12,000's dropping the case against them, the case
prosecutor stating of the squeaky-clean teens he does "not believe that they had any bad or malicious
intentions." Gee, ya think? Sure, we can understand a little why some people who didn't ever play Mario (unlike
Engadget or our readers) might have gotten concerned at the sight of these boxes, but we're just glad that a slight
case of Midwest terrorist hysteria didn't ultimately result in some crazed teenage witch hunt.[Via Joystiq]
