<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is and where it was taken, you could win a prize in the Picture of the Week challenge.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Is that a pirate ship And a bunch of bicycles Well, what is it And where is it located If you know, you could win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Week challenge.If you have the answer, please e-mail it to me no later than 6 p.m. PT Friday (to daniel--dot--terdiman--at--cnet--dot--com, and PLEASE include &quot;Picture of the Week&quot; in the subject line). I'll choose a winner at random from among everyone who sends in the correct answer by the deadline. However, I'm going to be on vacation until January 11, so until then, I won't update this post and that person won't hear from me. Please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not a winner. I get dozens of responses for each challenge. Also, I've turned off comments because some people would post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own.One caveat: no individual can win more than two prizes. The Road Trip Picture of the Week challenge takes place each Thursday, and the photos could come from anywhere, not just Road Trip 2010 locations. Plus, they might be related to stories I've written in the past. So, please have fun playing today, and then come back each Thursday. For most of the summer, Geek Gestalt was on Road Trip 2010. After driving more than 18,000 miles in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest and the Southeast over the last four years, I drove 5,266 miles this summer looking for the best in technology, science, military, nature, aviation and more throughout the American Northeast. You can follow me on Twitter at @GreeterDan and @RoadTrip and find the project on Facebook.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Hot or Not web site was an early web sensation when it debuted in 2000, letting you rate how attractive women or men were with a simple voting system. Now Avatar Reality, the maker of the Blue Mars virtual world, let&amp;'s iPhone users vote on how hot, or not, your avatar is.This is an attempt to snare an audience for a sophisticated simulation experience by creating a lighthearted and entertaining lightweight app. That&amp;'s a common strategy for a lot of brands trying to make a living in the digital online world.Avatars are virtual characters. In Blue Mars, you can create these 3D animated avatars with a great deal of realism. The Honolulu company is using the mobile iPhone app as a way to market its larger virtual world, which resembles the Second Life virtual world but has much more high-end 3D graphics.With Blue Mars Mobile, you can use the same avatar in the iPhone app as the one you can create in virtual world.Blue Mars launched its open beta in October, 2009 and began selling  virtual land to third-party developers in January 2010. The company was  founded in 2006 by Henk Rogers, who introduced Tetris to the world, and  Kazuyuki Hashimoto, former chief technology officer of Squaresoft and  former vice president at Electronic Arts.Next Story: Facebook (basically) confirms its move to Menlo Park Previous Story: Salesforce picks up IBM enterprise sales veteran Jeff LautenbachPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Blue Mars, iphone app, virtual worldCompanies: Avatar RealityPeople: Henk Rogers, Kazuyuki Hashimoto          Tags: Blue Mars, iphone app, virtual worldCompanies: Avatar RealityPeople: Henk Rogers, Kazuyuki HashimotoDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
