Modded Xbox 360 with red L.E.D lights selling on Ebay

This may be the third dumbest thing that I’ve ever seen on Ebay — first being the state of West Virginia, and second being someone’s eternal soul in a jar — a “modded” Xbox 360 Elite with red lights. This can’t the red ring of death people, this has to be the REAL DEAL! Hell, it even currently selling for a mere $35, and $8 shipping and handling with only 1 bid. How the hell could you pass this up?

BestBuy — You Just Pwned Yourself

Have you ever seen those XtraNormal videos on YouTube? The videos that put two 3D animated characters in a dialog, to a script that you write yourself, with computer generated voices. Well, as the picture that you see indicates, one of these videos got BestBuy Employee, 25 year old, Brian Maupin fired. The video displays a character who REALLY wants an iPhone 4, and is obviously an iPhone fangirl. She is talking to the store clerk about it who lets her know that they are all out, but it seems that this girl just won’t have it. You’ll have to watch the video:

Can we shut up about Apple for at least a week?

Since the beginning of this year all we have heard about is Apple. Apple this, and Apple that. And you know, It’s getting kinda old. I like Apple’s products, but I don”t think they’ve not been in the news since the iPad announcement. Hearing about Apple in the news is about as likely as Justin Bieber trending on Twitter. It’s going to happen.

Internet Explorer 6, STOP USING IT!

I’ve been looking at the site stats, and I’m seeing that one of the more popular browsers that is visiting the site is Internet Explorer 6. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, but when I saw the actual numbers I got angry. Tell me people, why are you using such an outdated, featureless, soulless, tabless browser!?

Know your rights — Fair Use


[Video via Plankhead on youtube]

You’ve seen videos like these, right? Hitler reacts to “insert popular topic here” A scene from the German movie, Downfall which depicts the final days of Nazi Germany, and Hitler’s death. It’s a popular meme on YouTube, and many other video sharing sites but, unfortunately, this meme has been subject to numerous take-down notices on YouTube directly from the films producers. What’s wrong with them doing this though, it’s their work, isn’t it? Yes, it is true that they have the rights to the scene, but what they’re doing goes against your right to free speech under fair use.

I can haz giant iPhone? an iPad overview

All this talk about the up coming release of the iPad has had mixed views on the internet. Some say that this is the most advanced device on the market, others have compared it to a rock. I’d say it’s somewhere in between. If you’ve been paying attention to technology news then you’ve probably seen the giant iPhone known as the iPad. No, it’s not feminine protection for Macs, it’s Apple’s new tablet PC that they announced a couple weeks ago. This device may look like a great new revolution in computing, but I assure you, it is just a giant iPhone/iPod touch.

Television is dying

A while back I was having a budget crisis and I needed to cut some costs. I was looking at my bills and found something that would be an obvious solution, and saving me a load of money — my cable subscription. I realized that being a couch potato did not have to include paying $60 a month for 500 channels that I never watch, and also that most of the content that I watch could be viewed online for free anyway. Ditching the cable was an easy decision for me, and you might not have any problem doing it either.

Droid envy

iPhone VS. Droid

iPhone or Android? This might be a question I’ll be asking myself for a while as I recently had my first Android experience on the Motorola Droid, and I loved it. I am already an iPhone user, and have been so for a while. But still, I have Droid envy.

Sir, I think you may be addicted to social media

That’s right, admit it. You are an addict. I know I am, but not as much as I thought I was compared to many others. Be it Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or even MySpace, if you use them you are probably an addict. Not too long ago (a few hours ago at the time of writing this) Facebook was down, and chaos ensued.

Because of this 20 minute outage  I was forced to create this Memer rage guy comic on my iPhone in about 5 seconds. The blogosphere went crazy, Twitter was enraged, and Facebook addicts everywhere committed seppuku. It was batshit insane during that short period of time and really all for nothing.
