[VIDEO] Gangnam Style: Christmas Light Show
I love when people take the time to go all out for Christmas. And although this song is now ridiculously annoying, the light show itself is pretty damn awesome.
YouTube:
It’s not quite a Christmas song, but when I heard it in August, I figured it would be a fun song to synchronize my lights to. Many all-nighters and even more gray hairs later, our show is finally running. This is the 5th and final song in our 3rd annual light show this year. 384 channels controlling over 60,000 LEDs, plus a few incan.
If you like the song,

[VIDEO] Time Lapse: Shuttle Endeavour Traverses Los Angeles
Seeing the Space Shuttle fly over Los Angeles, CA the other day was one of the most memorable experiences I think I’ll have in my lifetime. I love Los Angeles, and I love the chaos that comes with this city. Sure, the traffic can be a royal bitch, but at least I get to live through some pretty memorable events in history and will have that to look back on when I’m older. This video is an awesome time-lapse that shows Endeavour‘s journey through the streets of LA. So rad!

[VIDEO] The NEW Myspace
Here is the first look at the ALL NEW Myspace. What do you think? Will you be signing up and using Myspace again, after seeing this video? Personally, I feel their new concept and fluidity for users has greatly improved. It feels like they finally invested some time, money and hired the right team to actually make this a site that may be able to hold its own against FaceBook. I went to new.myspace.com and signed up for an invitation. Once I get to roam around a bit, I’ll definitely be updating everyone on how it’s working

Samsung’s Hialrious Sense of Humor: Pays Apple $1 Billion in 5 Cents Coins
UPDATE: Okay, while I wish this story was true, it unfortunately, is not. This rumor started spreading yesterday and has since been debunked as a troll. The post, as far as I can tell, was originally posted HERE, a Mexican site that is similar to The Onion. In fact, I don’t believe we have enough nickels in circulation to even make this possible. At the very least, this was a very funny story that I wish were true. It’d be nice to have someone give Apple a little ass kickin’
Original story below:
Apple was surprised when they had over 30 trucks pull up to their headquarters in Cupertino, CA this morning. The security team had initially thought that the trucks were there by mistake, but shortly after their arrival, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO that explained they would pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company, in this way.
The document which was signed never expressed which method of payment Samsung CEO must use to deliver the funds, so he decided to give Apple a taste of their own medicine. Apple will now have to waste time, money and resources counting the money and ensuring it is has all been accounted for. Along with that, they must find a bank that is willing to take such an interesting deposit.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.
You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.

As much as I love my Apple products, I don’t know if I would go to the lengths that body piercer, Dave Hurban, has gone.
In this video, it shows the process of implanting the magnets and ultimately being able to attach his iPod Nano to his wrist without any accessories. Hurban works at Dynasty Tattoo, is from Newfield, N.J., and with the help of Kaledioscope Kreative, has produced the video below.

[VIDEO] Tupac Shakur Hologram at Coachella 2012: Unbelievably Amazing
It’s hard to deny that we’re moving into an age of technology we never could have comprehended when there’s a fucking hologram of Tupac on stage at Coachella. While I have been very said I wasn’t able to go, this just helped me to completely lose it. I missed one of the most amazing technological advances of all time where they brought back one of the greatest rap artists of all time.

[VIDEO] ‘Geminoid F’ is the Most Realistic Robot Woman Out There
Although it may be hard to believe, this ‘woman’ is actually a robot. ‘Geminoid F’ is a fem-bot who is capable of making 65 facial expressions and can also talk and sing (or mouth the words).
Geminoid F can produce smiles and even enigmatic, quizzical expressions, using mechanical actuators underneath her rubber ‘skin’.
Her creator says his goal is to create a robot that can fool people into believing it’s a human being.
Hiroshi Ishiguro is the creator of the magnificent robot, and this is not shocking considering he is already a renowned robot designer at Osaka University in western Japan. Most of his androids cost a whopping $1.2 million, but luckily, Geminoid F is much cheaper, with a price tag of $110,000.
She can smile, furrow her brows and move her mouth – although she often looks rather dazed. It can also talk and sing – playing recordings, or ‘mouthing’ other people’s voices.
Geminoid TMF is equipped with 12 motorised actuators, powered by air pressure, which allow her to ‘copy’ human facial expressions.

[VIDEO] Crazy: Man Almost Runs Into Bear While Texting and Walking
Texting is dangerous! There are car accidents, people walking into fountains, and now a man coming face to face with a bear?! Holy shit. This is exactly why I will be buying Google’s ‘Project Glass’ glasses and avoid car crashes, falling into fountains and bear interactions.
YouTube: ‘La Crescenta resident Vaz Terdandenyan is texting and walking when he comes face to face with a bear.’
