soccer: search
Argentines clicking on the local version of Yahoo in search of information about their country's most legendary soccer star (and current national team coach) are in for a disappointment. All they'll see is a disclaimer in Spanish stating: "Due to a court order requested by private parties, we find ourselves obliged to temporarily suspend all or some of the results related to this search." The only exceptions are links to major news media sites. Nor is this peculiar result exclusive to searches for Diego Maradona. The soccer star is just one of 110 major public figures in Argentina to have secured a court order restraining the Argentine versions of Google and Yahoo from serving up search results on their names.

No idea who did this originally, but Wired found a video of two dudes playing Wii Fit LEGO Mindstorms Soccer. Wait, what? Looks like the guys hooked up two Wii Fit balance boards to a LEGO Mindstorms trucks(?) and made them move around in sync with whatever leaning or jumping motion was made. A very fancy display of hackery all around, but can you imagine what the actual Wii Fit game will say when they weigh themselves on it? "Congratulations on being the only obese soccer players in existence." [YouTube via Wired]

EA's FIFA series have always been one of the best soccer games. It's the only 'fix' for soccer lovers like me when an actual game isn't on. Ever since the beginning of the FIFA game franchise in 1993, EA has been introducing a new episode every year; last year it was FIFA'08 which we loved for its sheer beauty and intuitive gameplay. Now let's look at what FIFA'09 brings to the table. For starters, this new episode feels so real, fresh, crisp, and fast-paced that calling it one of the best games from the series won't be an exaggeration.
