Californians can now rent original arcade games like Street Fighter 2, Ms. Pac Man

Sure, there's a cool factor to having a vintage arcade game parked in your rec room. But there's more to it than that -- as we saw for ourselves at Engadget Expand, people are genuinely excited about playing the original cabinet games from their childhoods. Now you can rent titles like Ms. Pac Man, Pole Position 2 and Donkey Kong for $75 per month in California, thanks to a company called All You can Arcade. It started as just a collecting hobby for brothers Timothy and Seth Peterson, but has blossomed into a business that now rents over 100 games and is constantly adding more. The best part is that you won't have to part with any of your allowance to play -- hit the More Coverage link for the copious list of titles.

Immigrants in Greek detention center clash with police

ATHENS (Reuters) - Dozens of illegal immigrants being held in a Greek detention center hurled stones at police guards and set mattresses on fire in protest over the extension of their detention, Greek police said on Sunday.

Greece, struggling to exit its worst financial crisis in decades, has become a frontier for immigrants mainly from Asia and Africa, who seek a better life in Europe but often end up living in cramped detention centers.

More than 50 out of 1,620 migrants held at the detention center of Amygdaleza, near Athens, were arrested over the clashes, which broke out late on Saturday.

The detainees hurled water bottles and stones at guards and set garbage bags and mattresses on fire, injuring 10 police guards. There were no reports of injured migrants, police said.

Riot police fired teargas to disperse the crowds, ending the unrest. Police said 10 migrants had escaped.

Greece has been long criticized by human rights groups over the poor conditions at reception centers and a very low rate of asylum application approvals, which makes its treatment of illegal migrants one of the toughest in the EU.

Since the economic crisis broke out, anti-foreigner sentiment has risen in a country where one worker in four is unemployed, boosting the far-right Golden Dawn party which has been ranking third in polls.

InstaWeather now available on Windows Phone

Windows Phone users no longer left out 'in the cold'

If you use Facebook a lot, you may have seen your friends posting status updates using the popular InstaWeather app that overlays weather details over a photo you have taken. Until now this app was only available to iOS and Android users, with Windows Phone being left out in the cold.

That has all changed with the launch of InstaWeather for Windows Phone, finally bringing the app to the third most used mobile OS as well. In a post on the Facebook page, the company announced on Friday: "Finally, after few months of hard work, InstaWeather for WINDOWS PHONE is here!" and you can pick up this app for $0.99 on the Windows Store right now.

The app adds a smart weather overlay to your photos for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or sent with email or SMS.?

It's great to see yet another trending app being made available on Windows Phone, if only a few others would follow this example.

Man suffers medical issue, dies on Ore. fire line

VALE, Ore. (AP) ? A 59-year-old man has died while working on a fire line in southeastern Oregon.

Carolyn Chad, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Land Management, says Kevin Hall apparently suffered a medical issue while he was working for a bulldozer contractor on the Grassy Mountain fire, about 60 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho.

Hall, from Ontario, Ore., was found unresponsive in a pickup truck Saturday. Other workers administered CPR but couldn't revive him.

Chad tells KTVZ-TV Hall was supporting a bulldozer crew as it worked to improve an existing fire line.

He is the third person to die in Oregon this month while fighting wildfires.

John Hammack, of Madras, was killed by a falling tree in the remote Mount Washington Wilderness Area in the high Cascades, and 19-year-old Jesse Trader was killed in a water truck crash in southern Oregon.
