What the hell, America? First, your stupid voters deny Massachusetts women the right to go topless in public, and now you've crushed the hopes of space aliens who might, just might, have wanted to drop by Denver for some Rocky Mountain hospitality. The Colorado city has overwhelmingly rejected Initiative 300, which called for the establishment of an Extra Terrestrial Affairs Committee. The ...

The 'Back To The Future' hoverboard and self-lacing sneakers have already been wrenched from the film world and into reality. (Even Nike is patenting its own 'BTTF' lacing tech.) But, as definitive proof that everything old eventually becomes new again, you can soon get your hands on Ellen Ripley's Reeboks from 'Aliens,' although maybe only in Japan. "That's it, man! Game over, man, game over!" ...

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.

For example, if you're a network systems administrator that's interested in extraterrestrial life, you shouldn't search for signs of it while on the clock.

When Orson Welles' famous radio broadcast of 'War of the Worlds' pretended that aliens had invaded in 1938, Americans didn't fare too well, becoming panicked and believing the staging was real. So when a similar trick is played on British school children 71 years later, it's no surprise the gag didn't go as administrators had planned. At a Sussex-based elementary school, an event designed to ...

NASA video footage recently uploaded to YouTube by a user named 'secretnasaman' has created a stir among UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists, alike.

People say they kill birds, ruin views, make irritating noises, and are a general menace.

Do aliens exist? Most scientists will tell you that it's hard to imagine there not being life somewhere out there, given the vastness of the universe. The more controversial question is whether that alien life is coming to visit us here. According to Dr. Edgar Mitchell, astronaut aboard the Apollo 14 mission to the Moon, not only has alien life been here to Earth, but our government is covering it ...

Rumor has it that Steven Spielberg is getting ready to prove that you really can have a social network for just about anything. His latest online project started out with Yahoo!, but has since found a home with an independent company after the mega-portal shelved the movie director/mogul's idea of a social network dedicated to those who have had or want to share a paranormal or extra ...

In this way, millions of individuals can help. ...
