ICYMI: Worm mind control, a creepy new Barbie and more

Today on In Case You Missed It: A new $75 Barbie with speech recognition software can talk to your kids and give them career advice, as well as store previous conversations to refer back to during girlfriend chats. Holy hell, yes? Meanwhile, some scientists figured out how to use mind control on worms in a lab by using an ultrasonic pulse to get the slimy suckers to change course. And a group of friends gathered in the desert in Nevada to build a seven mile solar system to scale. And left off Pluto so that’s a bummer.
Digg gives us all a solid by super cutting some of the best animals attacking drones videos into one and it is a fun watch.
If you come across any interesting videos, we’d love to see them. Just tweet us with the #ICYMI hashtag @engadget or @mskerryd.
