Some dude is reselling 100 PS3s, gonna get paid (from Angelus) – Some Japanese consumer named Eiji (who we can only assume is a legitimate ninja) somehow managed to scoop up 100 PS3s in both 20GB and 60GB varieties and is reportedly planning to resell them. It’s believed this is the same guy that hired homeless people to get in line for 20,000 yen (~US$200).
Weird Al – Do I Creep You Out – another music video from Weird Al’s latest album. This one’s pretty funny too! Interestingly Derek and I noticed that you get an ad before the video starts if you watch this on IE, but on Firefox, you don’t get any ad. At first, I thought it was Adblock, but it turns out not to be the case. Even with Adblock disabled, the ad doesn’t play in Firefox. Maybe they just realized that Firefox users are smarter. ;p
As you might’ve heard, the Zune was launched today, and reviews of it have been pretty bad for the most part. Ars Technica’s reviews tend to be quite in depth, and here it is: Microsoft Zune. But you may have heard of all the problems that the Zune is riddled with. I was shocked to find out it was not supported on Vista. Did some guy just think that they didn’t need to support an OS that was coming out later in January of next year for the consumer? Plus the fact that we don’t allow you to use the Zune as a portable hard drive is just plain stupid.
Kiwi! (from Deadlock) – pretty neat animation showing you how birds got wings. Reminds me of why the giraffe grew long necks.
Mario’s movie impressions at E3 (from Digg) – Mario talks? That’s right! Charles Martinet, voice of Mario does a bunch of impressions (and bashes Sony) at E3. Pretty funny. Mario does some funny impressions from movies, including Star Wars. Interestingly, when he cusses, it beeps it out with the coin noise.
Animator vs. Animation II (from Digg) – The badass stick figure is back and this time it’s personal. In this episode, victim becomes victimizer as he breaks out of Flash and takes on mighty opponents like Firefox, the AOL IM guy and the Photoshop* icon. You can also watch the original Animator vs. Animation.
