Steve Jobs is a genius at both hardware design and public speaking. The guy could package and sell absolutely anything, even if it could do absolutely nothing. In fact, that’s exactly what he does in this parody clip as he introduces Apple’s latest wonder, the “i”.
What exactly can it do? Who cares? It’s Apple! After […]

Microsoft produced this ridiculous internal video about Vista supposedly as a joke, but it’s very telling that people thought it was for real. Redmond’s reputation for stupidity is so well-established, you just can’t tell if they’re kidding anymore.
Hell, I doubt this was really a joke. Microsoft probably just made that excuse after seeing people’s horrified […]

The Web has grown to 162 million sites. You wouldn’t have known it would get this big back in 1990, when there was just one Web site. Yahoo didn’t know it would get this big back in 1995, when they tried to manually categorize all Web sites into a single hierarchy.
Despite the explosion of Web […]

Remember the days when games were based on other media? Now that games outpace music, the tables have turned: music now borrows from games. Sarah Brightman’s latest album, Symphony, features concept art from ArenaNet’s online game Guild Wars.
Sarah herself approached ArenaNet art director Daniel Dociu. Who says artsy chicks don’t dig geeky stuff?

The New York Times article on blogger stress just keeps getting parodied. If you blog, you might want to stick these warning labels around your little pizza box fortress. If you haven’t built up a pizza box fortress yet, stick them around your monitor before it’s too late.
This is why I go to the gym. […]

So I check my iGoogle for the twentieth time today, and I see this in my iGoogle Digg widget:
First-Ever ***** with Mechanical Digital Display, says the widget headline. I instantly think of a dirty five-letter word, and click through expecting the first-ever pussy with mechanical digital display. Kinky tech, baby.

Sorry, Frankie. What you propose is a crime.
See, this is why we need patent reform. Apparently, flying by the moon is now illegal.
Last month, SES Americom launched commercial geostationary satellite AMC-14. Unfortunately, they screwed up, and now the thing will fall to Earth within days. They could have stabilized its orbit with a lunar flyby, […]

The next time your web developer claims something is “impossible” to do on your site, show him this: Super Mario Bros. in one 14KB Javascript file.

If the Large Hadron Collider doesn’t destroy the Earth, its data analysis network may give us faster porn.
Since the LHC will produce 56 million CD-ROMs worth of data annually, CERN scientists won’t use a central computer to analyze the data. Heck, they won’t even use distributed supercomputing over the Internet. They’ll use a custom grid […]
