'Can it run Doom?' is a clever way of reminding us that everything, from toasters to tealights, are general-purpose computers underneath the polypropylene. Though Doom in the browser is nothing new, Doom in a captcha in a browser as a test of humanity is a potentially...
The Wombles are Britain's counterpart to the Smurfs, the Gnomes, the Trolls, and so on: in the 1960s and 1970s, every European country had its own cast of counterculture-influenced yet eminently franchisable creature cultures. The Wombles are hedgehog-like characters who...
