Pony Play Penetrates Second Life

No amount of sex and animal combinations ever seem to satiate Second Lifers. Having sex with a unicorn to own unicorn babies certainly wasn't enough. Now, the world of pony play is emerging in the virtual world. Ponygirls and ponyboys are "submissive who like to roleplay the part of ponies in bondage and fetish scenes. There are also roles of trainers, grooms, and handlers for the dominant set of participants." We can hardly wait to see which fetish group will find its following in Second Life next.

Cyber-Sex Bot Socially Engineers Its Way To Stealing

Social engineering has become a form of hactivism both online and offline. On the internet front, a new program called CyberLove "can mimic online flirtation and then extract personal information from its unsuspecting conversation partners". The program works by using artificial intelligence to trick users to giving up personal data while getting hot in front of the keyboard. While it appears to only be attacking Russian sites, experts are urging the easily excited to be careful worldwide.

Paired with your phone, the bracelet vibrates when you have an incoming call, text or email. While the accessory is certainly a step up from shoving an annoying headset into an ear orifice, the use of bluetooth and a vibrator have so much more potential. A little tinkering, and the vibrating "bracelet" could become an excellent way to get excited about Monday morning conference calls.
