[games_access] Full-page one-switch gaming article in PopSci

[Robert Florio]

I wonder what they're angle was to me seems like that would not catch
anyone's attention because it's boring besides the $71 idea.  That's
interesting.

Just another "accessible-gaming in mainstream media" (okay, it 
certainly pins me as a geek for considering Popular Science as 
"mainstream", but that not withstanding... :)

In the May 2008 issue of Popular Science, on page 86, they have a 
one-full-page article on "A one-button game system".  It's a 
pretty...um...boring game.  Images are flashed on a postage-stamp 
sized display built into a button (screenkeys.com), and if it's a 
fish, you push the button.  If it's a shark, you don't push the 
button or game-over.  But they describe how to build it (for 
$71.89 in parts, FWIW) and I thought folks here might be interested.
