Mario in a Box: A different Mario game

Posted: 25 Sep 2011 02:58 AM PDT

During the years, we saw many Super Mario games, and we know that Super Mario has a large community of fans. Speaking of Super Mario fans, they have been busy, and they have managed to create a game called Mario in a Box.

Mario in a Box isn't actually a video game, it's is a side-scrolling game that is placed inside of a box in which you move Mario up and bellow using the potentiometer. In case you don't manage to avoid an obstacle, there are magnets behind obstacles that work as coalition detectors, and in case that collision occurs, the box will close itself using servo mechanism. As for the development, Mario in a Box has been developed by Adam Kumpf using Teagueduino open source hardware platform.

Mario in a Box looks interesting, and if you're Mario fan, you should probably check this box out. Sadly, it's not available for purchase at the time.

Since the public release of Google+, it seems that Facebook has decided to gear up, and after adding Top Stories and Ticker feature, Facebook is preparing a new feature called Timeline.


With Timeline, you'll be able to inform your friends about your recent activity in chronological order with new and innovative user interface. In addition, you can also add information related to past events as well, although adding past information is completely optional. You can add both videos, photos, and classify them by year, so that your friends can have chronological story about your past. Of course, you can hide segments of your Timeline from certain people and strangers if you're concerned about your privacy.

Facebook is seriously determined to enhance user experience, and now you'll be able to share almost your entire life with your Facebook friends. As for the release of Timeline, we should probably see it in next few weeks.
