Report: Nerf gun assault leads to man being run over by car
Filed under: Etc., Government/Legal, Humor
Drive-bys are a little different in Quincy, Massachusetts. According to local news reports, a pair of teens stopped by a Wal-Mart, purchased a set of Nerf guns and commenced driving around their neighborhood shooting at pedestrians. Drive-by Nerfing - sounds like a typical Friday night, right?
All was well until the dynamic duo fired upon a pair of resting construction workers, who gave chase in their own vehicle down a dead-end road. With the teens cornered, the workers approached the vehicle and retrieved one of the guns from inside. That's when the driver decided to make his hasty escape.
The teen cut the wheel, threw the car into reverse and promptly ran over one of the construction workers' legs before driving forward over a 10-foot retaining wall and totaling the vehicle. Police have charged the teen with a litany of charges, including assault and battery, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and driving to endanger.
In this case, the dangerous weapon was the car... not the Nerf gun.Nerf gun assault leads to man being run over by car originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:59:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

This Rayman Origins trailer will charm your socks off
Rayman Origins may be one of this year’s best titles if its gameplay can live up to the absolutely incredible art direction it exudes.
To watch this game in motion is to witness the future of the 2D platformer - lush 1080P visuals and fluid animation coupled with sumptuous effects. The experience is highly reminiscent of how we felt back in the late 90s when we saw Heart of Darkness in action for the first time.
Rayman Origins’ awe-inspiring visual fidelity and style begs the question why there aren’t more 2D platformers which look this good competing for our cash. This genre may not be as popular or ubiquitous as it once was, but the sales figures for something like New Super Mario Bros. Wii proves there is still a large group of gamers who get satisfaction from the pure pursuit of getting from one side of the screen to the other.
We’re definitely going to be spoilt for choice during this year’s holiday season as some of 2011’s biggest titles square off in the retail ring. Rayman Origins will be competing directly with Sonic Generations when the two release across multiple platforms sometime in November. Unfortunately Wii owners will only have one candidate to vote for with their wallets (Rayman Origins) as the latter isn’t being developed for Nintendo’s console.
Do yourself a favour and watch this latest trailer for Rayman Origins shown at Comic-Con. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is as beguiling as game trailers get!

Banshee music player now works in Windows, supports Amazon MP3 downloads
A few moments ago, version 2 of the Banshee music player for Linux was released, bringing with it a whole slew of new features, and the addition of an official -- but alpha-quality -- Windows build. The Mac OS X build of version 2 is due later today.
The most notable new feature is support for the Amazon MP3 store -- you can buy and download music from within Banshee -- but unfortunately it's only available in the Linux build at the moment (OS X and Windows support are planned, however). There have also been some significant improvements to artist, album, and queue interactions -- and yes, you can finally right click a track, album or artist and select 'play after' to insert it into the queue.
Beyond actual playback, the user interface has been tidied up -- it now looks a whole lot smarter -- and the Ubuntu One Music Store and SoundMenu extensions have been made official. For a complete list of changes, additions and bug fixes, check the change log.
When Windows support initially appeared in February, we found it rough around the edges and fraught with stability issues. With version 2, Banshee for Windows is still a bit unstable, but it's shaping up to be a good alternative to Winamp, iTunes, or whatever other music library manager you use. It's almost as attractive as its GNOMEish brother, too!

Google Talk Guru answers questions via your IM app
Bots -- like the kind which automate IRC rooms and Google Wave -- are a good thing to know about. There are plenty of useful bots worth knowing about, too, including the Google Talk Guru.
Just add guru@googlelabs.com to your GTalk buddies, and you can start firing off questions. Lifehacker suggests that the same types of queries supported by Google SMS will work, though we didn't have any luck getting a response out of the Guru with phrases like "score detroit red wings" or "sushi R3N 1Y1."
Still, Guru does answer a good variety of questions and it works right within your favorite IM app. It's well worth adding to your friend list, especially for getting answers on the go on your mobile device of choice.Google Talk Guru answers questions via your IM app originally appeared on Download Squad on Wed, 30 Mar 2011 09:30:00 EST.

Mystery Lenovo Tablet tries to sneak through the FCC, 7-inch IdeaPad on the way?
Tell Sally Kimball to grab her bike, looks like we're gonna have to leave Idaville to solve this mystery. What appears to be a brand new tablet from the fine folks at Lenovo just tried to sneak its way through the FCC, bearing the model numbers IdeaPad A1-07 and LePad A1-07. There is a chance, however remote, this could be LePad successor CEO Yang Yuanqing said would be coming in September or October. But, with the K1 and P1 having only recently emerged from the shadowy back alleys of Leaktown, it's hard to imagine the Chinese manufacturer is already prepping a follow up. The "07" implies this could be a 7-inch sibling of those 10-inch slates, but we're just taking shots in the dark. The only thing we know for certain is the A1-07 sports Bluetooth -- not terribly surprising. If you're the type who likes line graphs and regulatory labels make sure to hit up the source link.
