Well the commercials weren't as good this year as they were in previous years IMHO. Fortunatly the game was one of the best in a long time, so it evened out in the end. I was rooting for the Patriots only because they were the underdogs, and they had quite a finish. And thanks to a bad economy, one reporter was able to get a $100 ticket right before the game. Hope everyone had a good Super Bowl.

And speaking of ads, TechTV has an article on ad placement in videogames. Mainly they're just used to add realism to a game, which is fine by me. It's interesting to note though that one of the first advertisments found in a videogame were for Malboro in an arcade racer back in the 80's. How times have changed.

Have humans stopped evolving? Some scientists say that since almsot everyone lives, that natural selection no longer takes place to ensure that only the best adapted live on to reproduce. I guess only time (a LOT of time) will tell.
