Happy Friday… hope you all have a great weekend planned.  Enjoy the newest Friday Fun Links!

Most online games are produced with Flash, so it’s fairly rare to find a game where a programmer has utilized web standards within HTML5 to create that exciting, interactive experience.  Programmer, Dale Harvey did just that when he created a playable form of the arcade classic, Pac-Man.  Has there ever been a more timeless game?

Who isn’t amazed by smartphone technology these days?  Unfortunately, this impressive technology also brings targeted threats from cyber terrorists.  Apple has received a lot of flack for the restrictions they place on their app store, but give them credit for sticking to their guns after a developer of Android apps was accused of placing malware within his wallpaper application… an application that was downloaded by over one million customers!  We all love smartphones, but just make sure you know who you’re purchasing that app from.   

We’ve all heard of personal radio services, Pandora and Last.fm, but here are a couple new sites our RJS music aficionados recommend.  Slacker is personal radio service that has limited commercial interruptions and Best of Bandcamp offers up great, free music albums by a variety of talented artists. 

This is just too hilarious not to share: “Trekkers offered cave tours in Klingon.” And if you didn’t think that was bizarre enough, Sophos has developed a Klingon anti-virus solution!
