I came upon this online identity verification service while trying to look at an “adult” video of the upcoming Harold & Kumar movie. Now, what struck me as being unique is that this service asks you for your first name, last name and zip code and using a list of government issued IDs figures out who you are and your age and provides access to a certain service.

The Integrity website claims to have a database of driver’s licenses and government issued IDs from 157 nations.  While this service may not seem to be too useful considering it is easy enough to bypass if you know the full name and zip code of anyone, it does have some appeal in terms of the social responsibility issues of online business. At some point we may see services like Integrity a basic requirement to conduct business to a restricted age group. It also makes me wonder how secure information is with the government of whichever country you belong to.

Ever wonder what happened to all those 90’s singers with those chart-toppers that you never heard of again. There is really no way to tell where all these people are due to an abundance of rumors on the internet. Leila K is rumored to be homeless in Stockholm. The same with almost any one else one can think of - all of these people did some great things in the 90’s and then disappeared.

Here’s a track by Leila K called ‘Open Sesame’ and a Remix of the same song by Daisy Dee.

Some more Extinct Music Producers

Maxx - No More

The cool/or uncool thing about Maxx was that he had this catchy beat and ‘lead tune’ that essentially was used over and over in different ways in all his best tracks.

In the 1990s, the Bitmap Brothers produced some of the most cutting edge and highly successful cult games for the Amiga and a few titles for the PC. This British video game developer produced games in the 1990s that seem very similar to games of today. The game ‘Z’ is very similar to Command and Conquer. Here is a video review of  some of their most successful titles.
