...modern-day version of one of the hottest party games of all time, 20 questions. The classic mind-bender is captured for the first time in a funky yo-yo size sphere that comes in four bright colors—golden yellow, ocean blue, dark purple, and red. “Are you an animal, vegetable mineral, or unknown?” questions the two-inch LCD screen, daring all cynics to try their hands at beating the game.

Last year there were a handful of these Mosaic "sites"; today there are more than 10,000, including such blatantly commercial ventures as the California Yellow Pages and the Internet Shopping Network...
