Vox article on trolling the IRS scammers, you know, the ones that call you up and tell you that you owe the IRS money and pay it now or they’ll send the police after you.

That’s how I ended up talking to “Steve Smith” for 30 minutes. He was a senior investigations officer — the actual person who walks you through how to send them money. I learned that his secret is maintaining an aura of authority. That’s how he optimizes fear. That’s how he gets people to suspend logic, drive to Walgreens, and buy iTunes gift cards to pay the IRS. The scam takes advantage of the most vulnerable people.

Great read.

Great article on How to Flawlessly Predict Anything on the Internet.

This is a modern update to a classic confidence game—find a risky scenario with limited possibilities, bet on every single combination, and then hide your failures. The result is that you look like you’re either psychic or a goddamned genius.

Programming Sucks is perhaps the most accurate description of working as a real world coder I’ve ever read. It’s the Office Space of text.

Remember that stuff about crazy people and bad code? The internet is that except it’s literally a billion times worse. Websites that are glorified shopping carts with maybe three dynamic pages are maintained by teams of people around the clock, because the truth is everything is breaking all the time, everywhere, for everyone. Right now someone who works for Facebook is getting tens of thousands of error messages and frantically trying to find the problem before the whole charade collapses. There’s a team at a Google office that hasn’t slept in three days. Somewhere there’s a database programmer surrounded by empty Mountain Dew bottles whose husband thinks she’s dead. And if these people stop, the world burns. Most people don’t even know what sysadmins do, but trust me, if they all took a lunch break at the same time they wouldn’t make it to the deli before you ran out of bullets protecting your canned goods from roving bands of mutants.

As a child of the 90s (kinda), seeing Nirvana punking Top of the Pops in 1991 was amazingly awesome.

The band was told that they’d be playing over a track (which is of course what 99% of the “live” performances by big artists these days are), and not being too happy about that that the band basically mocked the whole thing, with Cobain singing in a weird affected voice and the band barely pretending to play their instruments, much less in time with the music.

It’s an epic performance.

The Wall Street Journal with the hard hitting news today that Grumpy Cat Has an Agent, and Now a Movie Deal:

Some celebrities simply cannot be pleased. Just ask Ben Lashes, a talent manager in Los Angeles. This week, he landed a major motion-picture deal for a client who nine months ago was an unknown living in Morristown, Ariz., population 227.

When he told his client that she was heading to Hollywood, she looked bored. “She hates movies,” says Mr. Lashes of his client, Grumpy Cat, a cat with a mouth puckered into a frown whose viral photos have ricocheted around the Internet.

I’m not sure if this is terrible, awesome, or both.

I haven’t watched Parks and Recreation at all, but after hearing (and seeing) the 7 minute Animated Version Of Patton Oswalt’s ‘Star Wars’ Filibuster I think I may have to.

Last month a clip from the hit show Parks and Recreation was released, in which Patton Oswalt attempts a filibuster to prevent a city council vote. Producers of the show told the actor to ramble on about something, and so Oswalt decided to ad-lib his way through his character’s vision for the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII.

Catering staff at the school have been told only to serve square or rectangular flapjacks. […] A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive said: “We often come across half-baked decisions taken in the name of health and safety, but this one takes the biscuit.

The fact that they have a ‘three point guide’ to flapjacks as the sidebar, and the article is fraught with puns makes me unconvinced this isn’t an Onion story.

TechDirt reports on how Rep. Gohmert’s Record For Stunning Technological Ignorance Is Broken By… Rep. Gohmert

My goodness. Yesterday we posted about Rep. Louis Gohmert’s incredible, head-shakingly ignorant exchange with lawyer Orin Kerr during a Congressional hearing concerning “hacking” and the CFAA. In that discussion, Gohmert spoke out in favor of being able to “hack back” and destroy the computers of hackers — and grew indignant at the mere suggestion that this might have unintended consequences or lead people to attack the wrong targets. Gohmert thought that such talk was just Kerr trying to protect hackers.

If you’ve ever wondered why laws about computers and technology doesn’t change, take a look at at the article and video and understand this is someone who is in charge, in part, of the US and it’s laws and direction.

As outlined by xkcd’s recent alt text, this site downloads the top answers from StackOverflow for the tags “javascript” and “sort”. If grabs the last code block in the answer (in theory, the “final” example), and tries to determine which function should be called. It proceeds to eval the code from StackOverflow, with the inputted data as the first parameter for the function.

This entry for QuickTime 4.0 in the Interface Hall of Shame is a great read. From what I see (I don’t remember it myself, or blocked it out) it well and truly deserves to be there.

The application does provide additional means to determine the names of one’s favorite media files, but the user must go somewhere else. The application’s menu bar offers a function labelled “Organize Favorites”, which when selected provides a standard listbox containing the names of the favorites. The listbox allows the user to rename favorites, delete favorites from the list, and reorder items in the list; these functions are notably unavailable from the Favorites Drawer itself. The Organize Favorites dialog is not without its own design problems. Surprisingly, the Organize Favorites dialog does not allow the user to Add favorites to the list, for that, the user has to …go somewhere else.

Great story of how the Starfish smartwatch saga illustrates entrepreneurial stumbling blocks at MacWorld/iWorld this year.

What’s more, the photo in the advertisement appears to defy my own understanding of how such a wristwatch could work: The interface is clearly not just scaled but resized to fit the watch’s square display; it doesn’t match the aspect ratio of either the iPhone 5’s display or that of earlier iPhone models—it looks closer to the sixth-generation iPod nano than anything else. And assuming the AirPlay connection did work and the interface could be resized as shown in the ad, how could the watch be interactive?

Via 9to5Mac: NSFW: Apple’s Russian iTunes launch plagued with bug displaying escort/pornography sites.

It appears Apple’s launch of iTunes music and movies in Russia is running into a bit of controversy with several Russian users noticing advertising for pornography websites and escort services in the iTunes’ movies section. As highlighted in the many tweets below, and reported by local blog iPhones.ru, a section titled “more films in different languages” is displaying the pornographic content. iPhones.ru speculated it might relate to an issue with temporary xxx placeholder links (machine translation):

Personally I could have predicted the headline:

“In Soviet Russia, Porn blocks Apple.”

This is completely hilarious.

Realistically, fanboy or not this is the point of view of an Apple Person looking at competing tablets, I’m sure that a similar review could be written by a Microsoft Person in an Apple Store. Marco’s a good writer though, and does well to identify some good points about the Surface, and MS’s approach to the tablet market in general.

Apple’s products say, “You can’t do that because we think it would suck.” Microsoft’s products say, “We’ll let you try to do anything on anything if you really want to, even if it sucks.”

My phone showed only “Private Caller” and, when I answered out of curiosity, I was connected to “John,” a young man with a clear Indian accent who said he was calling from “Windows Technical Support.” My computer, he told me, had alerted him that it was infested with viruses. He wanted to show me the problem—then charge me to fix it.

Bad Lip Reading Gives ‘Twilight’ Stars Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart New Dialogue.

The latest video to be released goes after a favorite punching bag in the movie world, Twilight. Multiple conversations between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) are re-dubbed with some of the most absurd dialogue you can think of, including one of the most dramatic discussions about cake ever spoken. Strangely enough, the writing here feels better than the actual movie.

Great look at The Pointless History of Stylus Advertising: The Worst E-Ink Spots From Samsung, HP, Apple.

Outside magically minimizing files, Stylus pens are often shown circling things and crossing things out. In tons of ads that feature Stylus pens, users are constantly shown looking at an image or a website or some product, and simply using the pen to circle things, point to things, or cross things out. In another ad for the Asus’ Eee slate, for example, a fashion blogger is showing doing all three (0:33): X-ing out one picture, circling another, and then drawing an arrow for good measure.

The smell of coffee makes women more likely to give out their phone number. Anything that gets the adrenaline flowing increases sexual arousal so coffee and a roller coaster might be an excellent date idea. When things get stressful coffee is a good idea for women but not for men. Coffee has also been shown to reduce depression in women. Pregnant women definitely should not drink it. (Alcohol — in modest amounts — during pregnancy can actually be a good thing.)

Earlier this year, the chain rolled out a line of “Stuffed Cheesy Bread” that’s full of “cheese, cheese, and more cheese.” In fact, the breads — which come in Spinach and Feta, Bacon and Jalapeño, and plain Cheese — contain as much cheese as an entire medium pizza.

Seriously, that looks like something you get on your way to the electric chair. The greese would probably help conductivity as well.

If you’re 35 years old and you’re thinking about retaking the SAT as a kind of blog stunt, I would highly recommend you avoid it. In fact, I would recommend that no one take the SAT ever. It’s a sternly worded dinosaur of a test, graded in an arbitrary manner with outdated equipment, and it blows. The only reason people take it is because they have to. It exists only so that preppy dipshits can brag about their scores well into adulthood if they did well. I hate it. I hope the Princeton Review gets fucked by a cattle prod.

Now I just know that Zazzle sucks, and I’ll never do business with them again.

Great article on Visual Studio 2010 from Ars, relating it to a text adventure game.

Play starts with the spell game. The game has three difficulty modes. In the two easiest modes Visual Studio questers must cast spells to appease a malevolent gatekeeper known only as "the compiler," combining the text adventuring of Zork with the wizardy and magic of Loom. If the player's spell contains even a single faulty incantation, the compiler will respond with a torrent of abuse and spells of its own; the player must piece together clues contained within compiler's response to determine how they went wrong.

Marco has done it again with an amusing Amazon Kindle Fire vs. iPad 2 comparison chart.

Anyway, the main attraction of Amazon's Kindle Fire vs. iPad 2 page is the big comparison table. Other people's feature-comparison checklists always leave out factors that are important to me, so I made my own additions that Amazon is welcome to include on their page[...]

This is obviously a "fanboy" response to the Kindle, done in (mostly) jest, but demonstrating just how silly feature lists really are, because they really will never show you the real story, but just what whoever is selling you wants the story to be (though, that's basically what marketing is all about).

As a side note, hows this for the definition of "damning with faint praise":

It's hard to love the Playbook, but if you're a diehard BlackBerry addict and you like a tablet with a smooth OS and great screen, this may be the one for you. Despite Playbook's sad storyline - released too soon, email and calendaring apps that didn't work right, a wonky syncing system - it's a solid device for BlackBerry users.

Hacker Typer. For when you need to hack, and fast.

Great idea. Kudos to JTStrocel.

An image like this makes me stop complaining about my job....

Possibly the most depressing thing I've seen all day. Thank god I still fit in the chart (barely).

Maniacal Rage pretty much perfectly describes my feelings about Tiny Wings, and why you should buy this evil, hateful game right away.

And speaking of setbacks, why can't this stupid fucking bird follow the laws of physics? Why does he sometimes smoothly navigate slopes while other times smacking his fat chest on the crest of hills that seem perfectly shaped? Why is island 4 full of curves that seem designed to be impossible to smoothly traverse as if Andreas Illiger--that rotten bastard, that complete asshole--has purposefully designed them to spite me?

I have to admit that this'Thor' TV Spot that Aryk sent me surprised me and gave me a LOL. Great stuff.

One again the Oatmeal comes through with a concise guide on How to fix any computer. As someone who knows about these things, this is 100% true.

I must also link to this XKCD which is related.

Honestly today's Abstruse Goose comics kinda freaked me out a bit.

Aryk sent me this cartoon which pretty much illustrates the problem with the batches of "iPhone Killers" out there.

Great video on making Combat Coffee by some Canucks in Afganistan. Posted if for nothing more than the "not a fucking timmies in sight" comment :)

Via this reddit story (with awesome comments as usual).

Fugly Android is a tumblr site to showcase Android customizations that have just gone too far...

Actually some of them are kinda cool, but I really don't know if I'd want to use them day to day. I'd like a bit more customization than iOS allows, but the curse of unlimited customization is.... well, just look at the link to see. Sometimes there is something to be said for "just leave it close to how it came" ya know? Via Daring Fireball (from a few days ago... I'm still catching up).

I have no words. Well, other than I'd love to see this for real.

Found Regretsy via @loydcase on twitter. Awesome site showing lists of things that you wish you hadn't bought.

Katamari Hack is a bookmarket that turns any page into a Katamari Damacy. Completely pointless, but awesome nonetheless!

Today's Penny Arcade cartoon The Land Before Time.... all I can say is "very true".

Aryk pointed me to these interesting Amazon reviews of the book A Million Random Digits.

New Simon's Cat! Sticky Tape.

Too awesome for words: Tonight I'm Frakking You. Thanks to Halkeye for sharing.

I have a feeling I'm the last one in the world to find this out, but according to GraphJam, you can use Google Translate for beatboxing. Try it by using their example, or hit this link (may or may not work depending on your location). The fact that they detect beatbox-like input and replace the "Listen" button with a "beatbox" one is pretty awesome.

That cute VW commercial from the other day with the mini Darth Vader has the deleted scenes and bloopers video released.

For the geeks out there feeling out of place on Sunday when there was some sort of game or something on, don't worry, you are not alone.

I'm sure everyone's seen the new The Force VW commercial, but if you haven't, it's good, and embedded below

Kevin Smith, of Smodcast, Clerks, and QuickStop fame is going to head out to join the Westboro Baptist Church in protesting Red State at the Sundance Film festival.

Fans of Smith will remember he did something similar back in '99 protesting Dogma. One can hope that they get way more turn out. He also tells a great story about how it all came to be and his disappointment in the protest turnout at Dogma.

Argh, my mistake, looks like he's joining the counter-protest, not the protest. Bummer. Course, the Westboro people are some messed up folks who don't need any more encouragement than they have from their current endeavors.

Just a funny pic of the guy who jailbroke the Windows 7 Phone.

Funny little video of Michael Caine doing Michael Caine.

Great funny answer on Why is Dropbox more popular than other tools with similar functionality?

Why is Dropbox more popular than other tools with similar functionality? E.g. Windows Live Sync, etc, which are free.

Via reddit. Of particular note is this comment which parodied the "made of meat" classic funny story.

OK, this Viral Chinese time travel commercial has to be the funniest thing I've seen all day. Combined with the XKCD time travel joke it's great. Kudos to JTStrocel for the link.

Pretty damn funny video sketch comedy from the BBC show The One Ronnie - My Blackberry Is Not Working! Man BBC has some good stuff.

Ok, it's a bit late for the real start of the new year, but watching this Burnout FAIL over on failblog gave me the first chuckle of the day. Still getting used to this whole "waking up in the morning" thing, so stay tuned for more link goodness.

My buddy Deesa pointed me to this list of the Top 50 Programming Quotes of All Time (via reddit). Reminds me a bit of the Stack overflow programming quote list.

My favorite:

24. "PHP is a minor evil perpetrated and created by incompetent amateurs, whereas Perl is a great and insidious evil, perpetrated by skilled but perverted professionals."
- Jon Ribbens

Cracked.com has a nice list of The 10 Most Irreplaceable Performances in Comedy Films. I was going to pass it by and not post, until I cam across #6, Alan RIckman in SpaceQuest:

Alan Rickman can pack so much tragedy, rage, injustice and disgust into a single line that you'd swear it was a McRib.

I'd have to give it to him for his performance as Marvin in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... every time Marvin said anything with Rickman's voice I burst out laughing.

A nice blast from the past.... anyone else remember the great song Every OS Sucks?

This Panasonic Lumix Camera TV Commercial was thrown into Reddit under the title of A Newb Meets The /r/photography forum. Both funny and a good commentary on photography.

Not an endorsement for Lumix, though I've had a couple of their cameras and they are quite nice, though their "intelligent" system is still no substitute for knowing what your f-stop and aperture are set at.

And the most original use of google translate goes to..... the Web beat box tool via 9-5 mac.

Hopefully my friends in the US had time to sit, relax, and be thankful they weren't killed or maimed by the crazies shown in the video embedded below.

Seriously, I know stuff's on sale, but this is why the world thinks you're crazy you know?

Happy (slightly late) Thanksgiving!

Also as noted in the reddit comments not all the video is from American stores.... but it's more interesting to say it is :)

Great video find over at the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs - In case you are traveling this week.

Related is this article in case you were thinking that the body scanners weren't all that bad. Glad I live in Canada and right now can't afford to fly anywhere, much less in or out of the US.

Great video of Adam Savage (of MythBusters' fame) at Wootstock Seattle saying "WTF, TSA?"

Thanks to Tim from the FV.rb group for passing on this stackoverflow page of What is the best commit message you have ever encountered? Some real gems in there.

Also http://whatthecommit.com/

OMG the latest oatmeal cartoon - Why I don't cook at home - could not be more true. This is the exact reason (well, mostly anyway) why I describe to people that I didn't learn to cook.

Wow, this is awesome.... a Fake Arnold sings in 'Commando, the Musical'. I'd watch that.

Not much to say really.... this page details the implementation of the auto-buy script described in this XKCD cartoon. Reddit, as usual, has the comments here.

While the iPhone auto-correct is pretty good most of the time, the site of Funny iPhone Fails and Autocorrect Horror Stories illustrates the times when it fails. Hard.

Kudos to Grizzled for sending this great video (well, audio) of AC/DC's Thunderstruck on the bagpipes:

Awesome compilation of Don Draper Saying "What?" over and over again. Only truly awesome if you're a Mad Men fan.

Reminds me a bit of the fuck fuck fuck scene from The Wire (NSFW language obviously).

This image says all that needs to be said. Hat tip reddit.

Yoga for nerds.

At least according to this Cracked.com article.

Filed under "funny cause it's true".

Too funny not to share was this SMBC Theater that a coworker shared out on FB today. Thanks @halkeye.

Just a reminder that your feeble attempts to deal with squirrels probably won't work. I just hope they never get opposable thumbs....

Minecraft is Just Awesome is a great parody of the Discovery Channel's "boomdiada" song for, of course, the Minecraft crowd.

I'm sure the sadists among my audience will appreciate a video of 100 Funny Falls. SIckos. :P

Online Communities 2 is the new most awesome thing from XKCD. For your enjoyment, note that there's a huge size version, and you may want to look at the original comic and since my birthday is coming up, I'll just leave this link to order a poster here.... just in case ;) (though who am I kidding, no one actually reads this site...)

If you've been using the net for a few years you'll recognize this ie6 effect that's been ported to HTML5. Ironically doesn't work in IE (at least 8).

If a comic can get my blood boiling and the tears starting from the horrible memories of bad email interaction, then it's doing something right. The Oatmeal - If you do this in an email, I hate you.

Not sure how I missed this, but @OhDoctah (sometimes guest on TWiT did a great pardody of the Old Spice commercial.

Ha! Funny review of a hands on look at RIM's Playbook Prototype*. Important to note the '*' here though. :)

Awesome machinema video of Team Fortress 2, called Dance Fortress 2. Great stuff, you almost have to watch it several times to see what each of the characters are done.

If you're into TDD and use Autotest with graphical notifications (through growl or the like), you'll be interested in this autotest-growl icon set put up on github. Thanks to the reddit post.

YouTube - Sesame Street: True Mud is a great True Blood parody. Thanks to K at work for pointing me to this.

Some pretty amazing photoshop work in this Photoshop Extreme Makeover video. Thanks forgetfoo.

Sure it's all for an ad / viral marketing for a pillow store, but the Backwards Music Video Featuring 2 Guys & 600 Pillows is pretty cool, especially when you grok the "backwards" part. Also make sure you watch the forwards "making of" version as well.

The luckiest bastards alive is a video of a bunch of very close calls involving people in/on/around cars, trains, and automobiles. More than a few pucker moments in there.

This took me by surprise, and I actually LOL'd for real - Penny Arcade! - The Wager. Though I'd still say I'll believe it when I hold the game in my hand.

Two quick comics to start your day. First is a Virtual Shackles one looking at Duke Nukem' (via reddit), and the second is this hand and penis washing logic from SMBC-comics.

Some twitter accounts are just awesome... for example, rabble's tweet points to @English50Cent which is a translation of @50cent's tweets into the queen's English. Thanks to @dkubb for the pointer.

No, the "DOS" in DOS on Dope isn't funny or ironic :) I'm not saying that this is useful or practical in any way, but it is pretty cool.

Old but good - Mary Roach: 10 things you didn't know about orgasm. Maybe a bit slow to start, but quite amusing.

Link to sysinternals' awesome BlueScreen screensaver. Via this story on DailyWTF.

No, I don't know what to think either, or if I ever imagined all these words together and connected.

Speedsolving A Rubik's Cube While Skydiving In A Rubber Boat

Presenting Howfuckedismydatabase.com without further comment. Other than it's awesome.

The awesomeness of the Discussion with a Java switcher over at Merbist isn't about the Java/Ruby/etc world, but this image showing the hierarchy of what type of programmers consider themselves superior to. Also I think that Ruby (damn young kids!) should be lower than Perl programmers. Just sayin'.

After seeing this on reddit: The most sadistic thing ever invented, but I haven't over-snoozed in 2 weeks now it may be something to influence me to run an Android phone. Pic.

Cool video of a Street Performer playing with his balls.

Awesome looking trailer: INEBRIATION (Inception Parody/Spoof):

Via @milesforrest.

At least in this Email from a prospective client they were honest.... :)

Great gizmodo post on How to Make Justin Bieber Sound Incredible: Slow Him Down 800 Percent. As Aryk said when he send me this, "it's true". Definitely sounds like an epic video game or movie soundtrack. Love the first comment regarding BSG too.

Update - Or not.

Great infographic on the stats of slacking at work. Sent to me by a coworker, who found it no doubt while slacking at work.

Awesome twist on the Action Movie Phone Call from CollegeHumor. Thanks Aryk.

The Ballad of Steven Slater, by the same guy who did the iPhone antenna song. Note: NSFW lyrics (swearing, and lots of it).

Fantastic song: Ballad of Steven Slater. See the DF entry for some context.

Not helping the "the Japanese are crazy" feeling here in the west, here comes Japanese Binocular Soccer.

Another great Daring Fireball Linked List link to a Statistical Analysis of the Attractiveness of User Profile Pictures, asserting, among other things, that iPhone users have more sex (presumably with other people that is).

As an iPhone user, I must agree with this.

</troll>

Some other interesting stuff as well, including analysis of sexiness by camera make, class, flash or no flash, etc.

Not my cats luckily, thanks to Fred for passing on this story of crazy German cat antics.

A cat home alone in Germany apparently turned on the vacuum cleaner, frightened itself half to death and wound up being attended to by emergency services.

Great video for all you WOW addicts: Jace Hall - I Play W.O.W Music Video.

If this story linked from DF is true, that flight attendant is either a huge jerk, or the biggest bad ass I've heard of.

I never knew that The McGangBang existed, or there was this much information about it.

If you want to get anything done today, definitely don't go and read the Post the funniest thing you've ever seen on the internet thread on Reddit. Seriously, don't.

Ever asked yourself What The Fuck Is My Social Media Strategy? If so, click the link and continue on your road to a social media success!

I remember hearing the non-illustrated version of this joke ages ago. I've always wondered if I could use it (telling the joke that is) to get out of a speeding ticket (as in "come on officer, tell you what, if I can make you laugh at a joke, you let me off with just a warning").

Awesome video of a Big Fan Asks Joss Whedon Who His Favorite Actor Is. From my buddy @jtstrocel.

Humorous and amusing post about the deconstruction of an In-N-Out Double-Double.

Awesome robots.txt from Last.fm. Hat tip reddit.

I'm going to guess I'm not alone in identifying with this Geek and Poke comic....

This article on the Daily WTF called The 0th Month is a picture perfect of a) programmer rage and b) a case study on refactoring :)

Kevin S. works on websites for a living.

Well, actually, "work" might not be an adequate description considering that part of Kevin's job requires that he is half clarvoyant and half mountain sherpa when it comes to digging through the several huge codebases globbed together abominations of open source, third-party components that he is expected to support.

Also possibly the greatest intro paragraph ever :)

Start Monday off with The History of LOLcats.

Great image over at The Celler of a Cow Wash. Pretty much the happiest cow picture you're going to see all day today.

Also, happy Friday! TGIF :)

Great video of a LOLParrot doing 20 Parrot Tricks in 2 Minutes. My favorite is the "bang" playing dead trick about 1:00 in.

Whatever you wanted to know about The History of Lolcats is available in info graphic form.

So you know that "I'm on a horse" old spice commercial? It, plus the various levels of web 2.0 and social networky stuff has generated the Old Spice Voicemail Generator. Pretty damn awesome, and I have my new voice-mail message.

Awesome new Improv Everywhere with the Star Wars Subway Car.

Great news..... Guild Season 4 Premieres!

A few things. If you'll notice, the episode looks a bit different than usual. We shot this season on a different camera, the Canon Mark 5D, which I NEVER EVER WILL TRUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A STILL CAMERA SO HOW IS IT TAKING VIDEO?!

Wil Wheaton has The Guild: Season 4 Teaser up on his site. If you had forgotten what happened in Season 3, there's a Auto-tuned recap of Season 3 for your enjoyment. Also huge props for the phrase "naughty monkey sex".

OMG awesome, thanks Len for this video of Yoda Recording His Lines For The Star Wars TomTom Voices. I'll harken you back to the Darth Vader version. Wonder if you'll be able to download these into the iPhone version of the TomTom app?

Metafilter has a great one on Firefly: the '80s Edition where they link to a great 80's style intro video inspired by an io9 article.

This Talk Show Guest FAIL also represents my reaction when I saw that Germany had lost their World Cup game.

Another good Hitler video, this one is Hitler Finds Out About Opera 10.60.

If everyone hasn't had enough of making fun of Twilight yet, Cracked.com had another go.

Stephanie Meyer's exemplary writing style is demonstrated in this conversation between Edward and our narrator Bella:

"Aren't you hungry?" he asked, distracted.

"No." I didn't feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full - full of butterflies.

Not all of it, but she reveals a lot of her self in a Get Mortified interview involving some embarrassing bits from her past.

Very NSFW language, but these iPhone vs. HTC EVO & HTC EVO vs iPhone4 video fairly well illustrates both sides of the "apple fanboy" and "not apple fanboy" extreme nicely.

Fantastic Java vs. .Net video trailer from JavaZone.no.

And speaking as a Canadian fanboy: Damn you all. I have a feeling that things like this are happening commonly around those countries today... :)

"yeah thats not what I was looking for at all."

Just read it, it's funny as hell. You'll want to read through the rest of the site as well.

Want to relive the glory days of Lost in your own home? You can now own your own Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock thanks to Thinkgeek. Check out the video. Via Daring Fireball.

Slashfilm has some great BP-Inspired Finding Nemo 2 Posters.

An older post that I just saw... The Six Stages of Debugging. So so true.

I read Clients From Hell daily to keep up to date on what not to do and to see how my own contract clients compare to the worst of the worls. Reading A Cautionary Tale I was reminded just how lucky I am and how I have nothing to complain about compared to some people. Long, but well worth the read.

Via @dkubb on IRC: Chatroulette Plans Penis-Recognition Algorithm to Block Pervy Users. I really don't know what else to say. They had me at "penis recognition" :)

You know, it's only Tuesday, so it's nice to start the day with a smile. Check out this super-happy duck and think about how great it would be if your day could be given so much joy. Course, your brain would be the size of a pea, but still, that's a happy duck!

The accuracy of this demotivational poster is scarily accurate. Might be time to look at programming as a second option and being a painter first.

Someone with way too much time on their hands got an ultralight into orbit (in Flight Sim X).

Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber.tumblr.com. Presented without comment.

Brilliant.... the Star Wars iPad Briefing.

Great cartoon about What your email address says about your computer skills via The Oatmeal.

Lost Alternative Endings and Unanswered Questions - great video... hilarious stuff (but only if you're a Lost fan of course).

In light of the recent Google Chrome speed tests, Opera has put out their own speed test, using their own... "unique" metrics :)

After being in more than a couple of corporate meetings myself, I can say that this video of The Process (a.k.a. Designing The Stop Sign Video) video.

Title pretty much says it all: Rid The Internet of All Mentions of Justin Bieber, With A Firefox Add-On. If you already have this, you won't see this entry.

To celebrate Friday before the long weekend (for us .ca folks anyway) I present you the Fail-a-thon. Try not to laugh if you're watching this at work.

Another email exchange between (Fake) Steve Jobs and a user. Funny thing is I didn't realize this wasn't a real exchange right away, and saw it as completely legit :)

Peejay threw me over this great Apple Keynote Bloopers video with the comment "Lotta people died for that video".

All said, that's not bad for 10 years of doing live demos in keynotes, and The Steve is pretty good at shaking it off or making a joke about it. Some good stuff in there though.

Just when I was pretty sure I'd seen the weirdest, sickest, and most depraved things on the internet, I see that Laughing Squid uncovered He-Man Covering 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?". Yea, it's that. I'm still not sure what mix of "awesome" and "disturbing" it is :)

One Div Zero has a hilarious Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages.

1842 - Ada Lovelace writes the first program. She is hampered in her efforts by the minor inconvenience that she doesn't have any actual computers to run her code. Enterprise architects will later relearn her techniques in order to program in UML.

Aryx sent me this fun video of Darth Vader recording for TomTom GPS.

A Beer "unboxing". Epic.

Found via @brianleroux is the Status Code Drinking Game. Don't expect too much, and just reload :)

Interesting results from the Color Survey that XKCD did a while back, with some interesting (but obvious) results that basically say that if you're a girl, you know a lot more color names than if you're a guy :)

Confused by the whole "gizmodo iphone ethics, journalism police-raid" thing? Run through The Gizmodo iPhone saga flowchart and pretty much everything will be explained (or at least, flowcharted out).

I know it's late, but this video from MossPuppet.com of Steve Jobs responding to Gizmodo on the subject of the iPhone 4G was pretty awesome.

They weren't put up on the main site, but Scott Adams did two great comics on That Lost 4G Phone. Hilarious stuff :)

Great funny view of what R2D2 hacking the imperial network might have looked like.

Another great one in the meme, where Hitler Finds Out That The Hitler Downfall Remix Videos Have Been Removed.

Great graphic over on F1.0 on the evolution of a photographer, in graph form.

A great wrap up of LO(L)ST: Season 1 using LOLCats. I just finished watching Lost Season 5, so I heartily approve this message.

If programming languages were religions...

Perl would be Voodoo - An incomprehensible series of arcane incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt your soul. Often used when your boss requires you to do an urgent task at 21:00 on friday night.

Hey America, I know you are jelous of Canadian money and all, but I think that your new 100 dollar bill redesign is kinda..... well lets just say you're not getting it, k? :)

Great blip of an interview with Bill Gates where he's asked about the iPad, and shares how the huge success of tablet PCs is a windows innovation. Yup.

The Google maps blog shows that you can now See what's inside a store, bringing us one step closer to Google Home View (video) :)

Awesome cheezburger video of the happiest hamsters ever. Play this if you need a late-afternoon-and-oh-god-how-long-till-I-get-to-go-home moment.

Just discovered Virtual Shackles through their hilarious comic Depth Perception, all about the lost iPhone 4th gen. Funny as hell. Started going through the comic archives too, looks like a great comic for geeks/gamers :)

Great video of Axis Of Awesome doing their "4 chord song" routine

This is the most odd video of someone after their wisdom teeth were removed you'll see all morning. Thanks to Mike for this link.

First up is the Travis Pastrana Backflip Big Wheel that I got from Darren after I sent him the Double Skateboard FAIL. Both painful to watch. Both funny as hell.

Pretty much guarenteed to be the cutest cat investigates an ipad you'll see today.

A bit extreme, but I have to say that this Bacon cooker is pretty effective.

To prove I'm not all about the apple fanboyness, I give you a video of a Standing Cat. I'm not sure if it freaks me out or makes me laugh. Awesome either way :)

Hijinks Ensue has another great Edward Olmos T-Shirt that I want. Team Edward forever!

I'm sure I've linked this before, but hey, one more time cause it's great stuff :)

Gizmodo has a list of 8 Cruel But Completely Justified iPad Wallpaper Pranks which I'd love to do if I knew anyone who had an iPad. Only cause I'm jealous of course.

Two great posts over at Stack Overflow:

• What real life bad habits has programming given you?
  
• How can you tell if a person is a programmer?
  

For those xkcd fans out there, you'll be hapy to know that the game from the last comic, 'flatland' is
real. If you don't get any of this stuff, check out this video of Carl Sagan explaining it for us mere mortals. Bonus: or this.

An awesome explanation of elementary resource-locking strategy. Hilarious.

I don't care if you're a gamer, love or hate Portal, but this video of kids singing Portals "Still Alive" will make your Monday just that slight bit better (crappy camera work non-withstanding).

Christopher Blizzard blogged a beautiful expression of frustration, a really great song about the frustration of web devs and IE :) Funny and catchy.

This bubbles perv video is probably NSFW, but it's also pretty funny. And pervy. But really funny.

WELCOME TO INTERNET! (warning auto playing sound) is cheesy and awful, but is totally going to be my new home page. From reddit.

Awesome sketch from College Humor on Internet Trolls. Best 2 comments are the "usenet flame war of '99" and the Steve Jobs one. Great stuff as always.

Snuzzy has a video of an Alpaca on a surfboard.

Sometimes the world really just doesn't make sense.

John Gruber points to the "No Dashes Or Spaces" Hall of Shame, showing off stupid sites that can't figure out how to parse CC numbers with spaces or dashes in them.

Boingboing has a horrifying story about a Happy Meal that shows no decay in a year on a shelf. Either it's terrifying that that stuff is eaten (cause it's so damn good) or good to know it'll survive the apocalypse and sustain the survivors....

Another great find from Aryk - Top 10 Things That Annoy Programmers over at Kevin Pang's site. I agree with all of these.

Oddee.com has a good list of 10 Funniest Wedding Fails.

Kudos to James Strocel for pointing me to the Death Star vs Force comparison chart.

College Humor has a great Chat Roulette Piano video. The guy doing the piano has got some good skillz too!

Kevin Rose has video of Leo Laporte crowd surfing during the Diggnation filming. I anticipate more of this when the Diggnation episode comes out on Tuesday.

Aryk sent over a comic on The Difference Between Firefox, Opera, Explorer & Safari via The Next Web.com

Found the Top 20 5 Second Films where you get 2 seconds for title, 1 for end titles, and 5 for content. Some stinkers in there, and some NSFW language/content, but more gems than stinkers.

My favorite is the guy waking up late... FUUUUUUUUU.....

This image is great, the day in the life of a programmer. I'm somewhere just past the "coffee++" at this point.

Pretty damn funny skit from Jimmy Kimmel: Handsome Men's Club. 10 minutes long, but worth it. Thanks S for the link.

The perfect gift for your wife, husband or loved one is this picturetweeting bathroom scale, assuming of course, you want to be killed. Thanks boingboing.

Sometimes you get the chips, sometimes the chips get you.

Just met Ralph on IRC (freenode #fv.rb if you care) and found this great picture from the IE6 funeral. Glad there were at least some protesters :)

Photo Basement has a pretty accurate Chat Roulette analysis up on their site. If you don't know what Chat Roulette is, it basically turns on your camera and connects you to another random person. Hilarity ensues. And by hilarity, I mean "mostly you see a big picture of a penis".

As usual, Jon Stewart takes on big media coverage and Use Chatroulette on The Daily Show. Hilarious and JS at his best.

Kudos to Nicolesy for this great find: Judge Joe Brown & Cheap Wedding Photographers. I'm not sure if His Honor Brown really knows his camera gear or is just repeating what his staff has researched for him, but it's entertaining and surprisingly not dumbed down camera lingo. Well worth the 10 minutes to watch the segment, regardless of your opinion of stupid shows like the "Judge [name]" and it's ilk.

Yet another reason I'm terrified to become a wedding photographer :)

Really great How 'Star Trek' Should Have Ended video.

Found via reddit is a list of 31 Really Bad Ideas if you're all alone and feeling amorous....

They slammed together and the magnetic force was so tremendous I couldn't remove them without tools. I took two pairs of pliers and pulled like hell.

SFW in that it's text only.

They say that no scandel is complete until someone makes a T-Shirt out of it (well, they might say that), and the "school spying on kids with school issued laptops" is no exception.

Thanks to Aryk for sending me this.

It's a bit of a slow morning for me, so here's a great article called Mundane Magic shared by an ex-coworker. Great story that makes you think a bit (maybe, depends on how much coffee you have in you I guess).

What you get when you buy a £25 iPhone down the pub reveals something else I've suspected.... that it's probably not a real iPhone :) Love the bit about it feeling like something out of an alternate history timeline...!

Pretty funny cell phone prank to pull.

If the name Tom Mabe sounds familiar to you, that's probably from his Telemarketer abuse clips from Back In The Day.

Please Rob Me is a prime example of why you shouldn't tell foursquare to tweet out that you're somewhere other than your house :)

Aryk just pointed me to the Clients From Hell Tumblog.... this story - Client: "[Indian outsourcer] says he can do this... gave me a big "OMG" deep down in the chest. Wow. Just.... wow.

I really don't know what to make of this video of The Purple Helmets. They are either brilliant or crazy. Or both.

Thanks to Len for passing me on the Guitar Kitteh video. Looks like a perfectly logical use of a guitar for a cat to me. Might even be less annoying than my cats using my fingers while typing to scritch themselves on.

I never saw the original ad called "Man's Last Stand" from the superbowl ad, but after seeing it, I thought it was great. It has however now been remixed into woman's last stand where the women hit back a bit against the guys.

"S" sent me over a link to this A Sane Response . . . story from emails from crazy people. Well worth the read.

OK, this is just awesome. Check out a few Reddit.com clones written in a variety of languages. Also note the comment to code ratio in the Perl example! ;)

I just found Crying Wife.com via SmodCast. It's basically a guy who video tapes his wife who cries easily, after watching movies. Before you flame the guy for being an insensitive prick though, read his FAQ and then flame him :)

Dear Internet. I have no words to explain this: Japanese Star Wars Tuna Ad.

Via @coderpath and @srbaker comes this git commit log for the Rails 3.0 code to "deOMGify" the code. Great read and great comments.

Friggin' amazing Amazing Aliens Rap.

Remember the excellent 70 minute Episode 1 review? Well, that dude has come back and given the goods to Avatar.

Via Aryk: The true "size" of a gadget can be calculated now through the Full Gadget Ratio. This looks correct to me.

My buddy Jason forwarded me this South Park Mac vs. PC which really boils the Mac vs. PC debate down nicely.

I've never seen such an odd looking, nor Groovin' Owl in my life.

A hidden gem in the slashdot comments from the Tales from a BBS Junkie book.

I remember back in the mid 90's running a BBS. There was this one guy who would type 1 letter every 10 seconds or so. I would watch him play LORD each day and the minutes would expire before he was done with his turns. One day I saw him online and broke into game chat [SYSOP HAS BROKEN IN FOR CHAT]. [...]

Oh man, how awesome is this video on How To Report The News. Overlay this on pretty much any news broadcast you see on TV and it's a pretty much dead on.

Having done my time in customer support, I can attest that this story from Not Always Right never happens.

Gawker has a great list of The Rules for Calling In Sick.

Passed on from Aryk is How You Live Is Your Choice To Make which has this and other related gems:

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

Via forgetfoo is the link to The 5 Signs You're Talking To A Social Media Douchebag. Or as I like to think, 90% of the people on twitter (no, not you, you're a cool person on twitter, I'm talking about the other people).

Finally found a "legal" version of the Pants On The Ground parody played on Jimmy Fallon the other night. Story has back story if you're not like me and haven't been hearing about this on the Stern show all morning :)

I have no idea if this is "real", but the The Problem with Young People Today Is... blog is freakin' hilarious:

Q1: Are you demonstrating poor judgment?

Sure, I watched an episode of "Dancing with the Stars" once but only because I assumed it was a Fred Astaire special and not some collection of motley has-beens lumbering around like injured circus bears.

It was a mistake but I've forgiven myself.

And it's nowhere near as questionable as young people tattooing their scrotums and posting videos of themselves dancing around with lightsabres on youtube. Now that's a demonstration of damned poor judgment. And stupid as Hell, too.

Random link found on the net of the 2006 Emmys Opening. Never saw it, glad I watched it now, it's pretty damn awesome.

Reddit asks the excellent question of What happens to your porn after you die? Some users have different ideas than others:

From Acewrap:
I just have a deadman switch at my computer which needs to be pressed every eight hours, if it isn't pressed, a turtle is released from it's cage, the turtle walks over to a carrot hanging from a shelf, it pulls the carrot, which causes a bearing to roll down a plank and then[...]

Note also the excellent video linked in the comments on porn buddies. Anyone know what show that's from? The intro note says something about "The Flavors Unlimited" but I don't see any references to that as a TV show. Ah, from "Coupled" (UK version).

Of this list of The Top 10 Worst Attempts At Cutting Down A Tree my favorite has to be the first one simply due to the not-so-happy wife's commentary after the excruciating wait for what you know is going to happen....

Vintage Ad Browser. Great stuff. I can only imagine at how stupid the "cool" ads we have no will look in 100 years....

The epic JWZ is right on my wavelength with his Tivo vs Torrenting thoughts. Pretty much my thoughts.

Great post regarding Smirnov's Theorem on Binary Probability, expounding on the probability of things happening or not.

Let us consider example A: Will you be shot in the face by some guy with a sniper rifle hiding in a bell tower today?

Oddee's list for today is 10 Craziest Plastic Surgeries Made to Look Like Someone Else. Looking at the results, I can safely say that there's not much upside in plastic surgery, these people all seem to come out looking like they got hit in the face with a small Volkswagen.

This came up today in conversation with someone, and I had to post THE classic Unix horror story, originally posted in 1986 regarding what to do if you accidentally rm -rf / on your unix system. Great classic story.

Took me a while to find it, I ended up using keywords of ksh, rm -rf, and echo to find it :)

If you follow pop culture at all you'll probably already know the story about Conan, Leno and the Late Show, but you can be amused by the video where he does seem a bit miffed....

So the stormtrooper pic in JWZ's Star Wars Burlesque post is hot, the C3PO I'm really not sure how I feel about....

Classic Johnny Carson with the Dom DeLuise Egg Trick.

Assuming that this story is real, the My Date with Amanda post over at LameBook describes what is essentially every guys worst nightmare or hell on earth, whichever is worse. Keep with it till the end, it's LOL funny (only because it's someone else of course).

Hilarious.... 38 Snowmen Nightmares: Calvin and Hobbes In Real Life.

Bruce Schneier isn't the biggest fan of the farce that is (ever increasing) airport security and is having a TSA Logo Contest.

Winner receives copies of my books, copies of Patrick Smith's book, an empty 12-ounce bottle labeled "saline" that you can refill and get through any TSA security checkpoint, and a fake boarding pass on any flight for any date.

The graph for Movie popcorn vs. Time perfectly illustrates why I have my movie popcorn the way I do.... go in, get seats, then 5 minutes before the previews start leave, get popcorn, and unless the lines are insane chances are you're sitting back in your seat with fresh warm popcorn as the previews start (missing the pre-preview ads if you time it perfectly).

Fantastic video / song / parody / tribute called Battlestar Rhapsody. Just watch and enjoy.

The People of Public Transit blog posted a video of a guy who is very Horny For Pole. Very odd. Probably from Japan based on the bystanders. NSFW if you're offended by intense man on (literal) pole snuggling action.

This There, I Fixed It is the best kludge I've seen in a while.

Hilarious old Kids in the Hall with Dave Foley talking about the USA and Canada. Probably not as funny to non-Canadians though.

Aryk sent over a great gizmodo linked video of If Only Cats Hunted Computer Viruses Instead of Small Innocent Mammals. Sure it's only posted for the kitteh cuteness, but what a cuteness!

Scruffy the Elf is about as festive as I get at Christmas.

Great T-Shirt of "Zombie Food". When food goes bad.... hehee. Thanks S for the link.

Anyone who has been following the Artie Lange saga lately on the Howard Stern Show will know he's been on and off drugs, and was off last week as he was told to take a break (the audience wasn't really let in on what was going on). The clip below however is a great use of the "Hitler subtitling" meme for just this occasion :)

Note that if you're not into the show most of the references in the video won't make much sense to you.

My ex-boss John discovered what does indeed look like the Best unsubscribe page ever.

Simon's Cat: Snow Business is the latest in the series of simple yet cute and accurate cartoons about a cat. Awesome as usual.

A long, but completely worth the read story of quite possibly the most horrific date you could imagine... ever. I've been on the internet a while so I can imagine some pretty horrific things, but this tops even that. Yes it's from 2005, but I hadn't seen it until now (thanks reddit) so you get to share in my discovery!

Ode To Joy video. I gotta say, Beaker is awesome :)

I honestly don't know exactly what Alan's Rock Video is, but it's catchy and funky looking.

2009 in Autotune. Let the recaps begin!

Why I'd rather be punched in the testicles than call customer service is a fantastic graphical journey into the reasons why tech support (for the most part anyway these days) sucks. I feel the same way.

Today's UserFriendly Strip harkens back to the days when I had these conversations with SilverStr, Fozbaca, Solas and Engel on the exact same subject. Those tended to go to a bit more of an extreme though, I recall getting to "I flipped the ones and zeros with the magnetic pull of the earth and had to wait a year to flip the next bit" more than once.

Funny comic of reading Darth Vader's diary.

If you've ever been confused about some of the web service protocols and how they're different, you'll enjoy this Geek and Poke of Service Calling Made Easy defining the difference between REST and SOAP :)

This is an awesome statistic about swearing results by language on Google Code.

Via reddit is a great post listing the back and forth emails between a designer and "client". Well, sort of client. Just please go and read it now. An excerpt :

If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas.

While it doesn't have anything to do with logos and pie charts, it's a nice sample of the humor in the emails. Just go and read it ok? :)

No amount of wrong and fail can describe these horrible cosplay costumes.

CollegeHumor again does a great job with their spoof of the new Twighlight movie with a fake trailer for Twilight: Three Wolf Moon. If you don't get the whole 3 Wolf Moon thing, check out the wikipedia page for the history of the meme.

Another win in the form of "5 Star Wars Status Updates" by Brian Murphy on CollegeHumor via @curtismchale.

Ok, this is not only a lesson in why you never have a game delivered to your friend's house, but in how to keep a straight face successfully for more than 5 minutes while your buddy tries to figure out that he's being Rick-Rolled. Awesome.

Now this is an incredible beard, from a 1991 competition. You really want to wait for the second guy though.

Some of the stuff on Not Always Right is kinda meh, but the Faux-bi-Wan Kenobi story had me LOL at work this morning.

If you need a little room in your relationship, you can't go wrong with these superhero themed breakup cards. No really, what could possibly go wrong?

The Onion has a great and hilarious news piece on how the next Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks etc. Looking forward to getting my hands on the PC version of this, the first Modern Warfare last year blew my mind.

This skytrain and transit map of Vancouver with station names changed to anagrams is epically awesome!

Oh I'm sure it's photoshoped or fake, but damn, this Highway Sign is damn funny. I wonder if I'd have the balls to do something like that if I were fired from a similar situation?

So his plan is like this... First I dress up like a bat, than I scare the hell out of people. I'm not sure if this is brilliant or insane. Great video though.

When you give the Perfect gift for one polar bear - two tons of ice cubes covered in maple syrup, you get a damn happy polar bear!

Oh come on, it's Monday, and it's a funny video!

The latest Penny Arcade cartoon, In The Seventh House seems to sum up the reactions to Windows 7 I've seen and had myself.

Yea, I know that A Day at the Office is a repeat and it's been around, but what the hell, it's Friday and it's something that will make you smile.

Microsoft bails on sponsored comedy, specifically the deal for the "Windows 7 episode" of Family Guy.

A Microsoft spokeswoman said: 'After reviewing an early version of the variety show, it became clear that the content was not a fit with the Windows brand.'

Seriously, if they were to go with the Family Guy episode and show the world that they're OK with laughing at themselves and taking the penis/fart/puke/etc jokes associated with their flagship product, they'd show that the borg actually has a sense of humor about themselves. Unless of course the brilliant marketing department planned this all along and figured they'd get "buzz" by pulling out of the deal.

All the pseudo-scientists talking about the end of the world and 2012 as if it had any science in there may be 8 years early, turns out that "2012" a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220. At least we now have 8 210 more years before we need to start panicking.

Awesome co-worker send me a link on Building a Robotic Dalek Pumpkin. Seriously, how f-n cool is that!?

Nice catch by Joey about how pet stores are Going After the Dungeons and Dragons Market :)

OK, so it's not the real Walt Mossberg, but Walt Mossberg: "I Have Sabotaged Microsoft" (via Fake Steve Jobs) is a good listen... though he sounds like he might have been drinking a bit :)

Host Your Windows 7 Party Today is another great parody from Funny or Die. Not as good as the 'censored' version, but still pretty damn funny.

Daring Fireball points out that in Welcome to the Microsoft Store it really is a carbon copy of the Apple Store. I think that even the Microsofties will agree that this is a pretty blatant rip off of the Apple store experience. It'll be interesting to see how these evolve and change (or die) in the coming months.

It's almost Friday, here's a video titled The Best Cat Video You'll Ever See, and it's pretty damn good.

Remember that Droid teaser that came out the other day with the bunch of "iDon't" things that the iPhone doesn't do? If not, here it is. Anyway, someone has a very cool response video worth watching: iDon't Care.

Merlin Mann shows us 5 Surprising House Hacks. Stuff you didn't know....

As a unicorn chaser to the crazy people, check out this ultra-cute Beagle Puppy vs Rottweiler video over on Snuzzy.

Heard Seregon O'Dassey on the Stern show this morning talking about how there are "Real Vampires". I love the nuts. So basically vampires don't do anything that movie vampires do, other than drink blood or "suck energy", but neither of which is needed to live. Sounds like just a normal person to me, with a side order of attention-whore. Good for an amusing read though.

Via Aryk comes a great College Humor clip of The Sordid Story of the Pixar Lamp over on Gizmodo.

Shared via Facebook from a coworker of mine is this tweet which seems to sum up Google Wave quite nicely :)

According to Geeks of Doom, this ThinkGeek Tauntaun Sleeping Bag was actually an April Fool's Joke, but now exists for reals!

Today's Dilbert comic strip is how I imagine people (my parents, non-geeky friends) think that things will happen if they just randomly hit buttons on the computer.

In our (geeks) defense, here's a cheat sheet on how we figure stuff out.

You haven't read the Bible until you have read it in The Brick Testament, where Lego makes everything more awesome.

A very well done spoof of Survivor / countless reality TV mixed with FPS characters called Top FPS appeared on YouTube. Very awesomely done.

I had no idea WTF was going on in this Greatest Story Ever Told Video, but let it finish, it's pretty awesome.

IO9 has a fantastic collection of 14 Reasons Why TV And Superheroes Don't Mix. Somehow the bad CGI in say, Spiderman 3 don't seem too bad compared to the 1977 version :)

Punk Animals. Just damn fun at Worth1000.

Know those videos of random people attacking strangers and getting their asses handed to them? Well here's another... Thugs attack two men in dresses... who turn out to be cage fighters. Now I'm not sure why the cage fighters were in dresses, but based on the fun (starting about 1:10 in), they really will be careful who they start fights with in the future.

You still need $$ and gear, but Wired has a nice look at The Making of a Mind-Blowing Space Photos, with some great examples.

Photo Basement has another reminder that your employer is checking up on you on facebook and (no doubt) other social networks. So if you're going to play hooky, make sure your tweets and status updates put up the same facade :)

You probably saw the Ralph Lauren Photoshop Disaster a bit ago which was so crazily out of reality that I almost thought it was a farce of itself at first. Turns out Ralph Lauren was serious and serious enough they sent a DCMA takedown notice to the ISP. The article reports:

One of the things that makes Priority Colo so awesome is that they don't automatically act on DMCA takedowns. Instead, they pass them on to us and we talk about whether they pass the giggle-test. This one doesn't.

The Boing Boing article lets it all hang out, DCMA takedown notice and all.

ForgetFoo has a nice web designer decision tree.

Maybe it's the lack of sleep or over-caffination, but this comic really tickled my funny bone this morning. Thanks Aryk!

My friend Sarah sent over a video of a Rare Bird Humping a Photographer's Head. Absolutely hilarious to watch! Also note that the non-photographer is the famous and awesome Stephen Fry.

Emails From Crazy People. Pretty much what it says.

From Aryk comes a lin kto the Power Loader Exoskeleton which I totally need. The assholes who walk down the sidewalk four abreast while I'm trying to get to my train would move aside if I had a set of those badboys.... :)

Twits: Dramatic Readings of Celebrity Twitter Updates is possibly the most awesome thing ever.

An actual good use for auto-tune... check out Carl Sagan - 'A Glorious Dawn' ft Stephen Hawking.

If you're an Apple Fanboy you may have been invited to a Windows 7 release party.... either to be converted by your Windows loving friends, or just for the heck of it to laugh at the fact that Microsoft has to bribe people to have parties for Windows 7 (lets be honest, no normal person would think of having a Windows release party on their own). Either way, here's a cool Windows 7 Party decision tree for Mac users.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm this guy.

I have loved Gaping Void for a while, but the latest comic, shit creek consulting tickles my consultant heart (with the nagging question of if these are the guys someone call after they deal with me! But I doubt it... ) :)

This It's Party Time! video, with light editing in just the right places, I think is far superior to the original. If you don't know what this is, this is a video that Microsoft and House Party put out to help promote people having their own Windows 7 launch parties. Via reddit.

Surviving the World - Lesson 41 - Pedestrians. It's like he reached into my brain and could see what I was thinking.... I come across this every day walking to the train from work.

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Sometimes you're the bull, and sometimes you're the victim of an epic bull WIN that gets your junk displayed to everyone. I like it when the bull wins.

Ha ha, silly technology, don't you know that you get older as time passes? That's what makes this The Screen Savers "Ultimate Gaming Machine" 1998 pretty amusing. Also Leo LePorte looks like a young whippersnapper.

Dr. Horrible is awesome, as is Neil Patrick Harris, so this video of Neil Patrick Harris Mocking the Internet at the Emmys 2009 is great.

If you've ever had the question of what happens when you put an OLPC in a microwave, well, now you have your answer.

While I sympathize with the store having to deal with crazies, banning a Jedi Knight is a bad thing to do....

Stack Overflow asks What is your best programmer joke?

Is it wrong for me to feel like this C&H cartoon whenever I pull out my iPhone?

"4 Awkward Moments in Facebook "Likes"" by Brian Murphy on CollegeHumor. Presented only with the comment that number 3 is my favorite :)

XKCD's book, xkcd: volume 0 is now available.

S pointed me to the Geekologie bacon flowchart.

On the Secret Diary of Fake Steve Jobs he has Mosspuppet discovering Auto-Tune. Funny.

Techcrunch describes how Facebook pwned them with the 'Fix this picture' joke the other day. I saw it pass by the news feeds but mostly ignored it. TC took the joke in good stride at least :)

This needs some attention..... the Fly Gabe Newell campaign, with more details at http://flygabenewell.blogspot.com, is raising money to get Gabe and Erik, of Valve Software fame, flown to Australia.

Basically Valve are flying people who are bitching about the new Left 4 Dead game and boycotting it out to play, someone complained they weren't being flown out, and Gabe responded that he was being boycotted. Just read the site, makes much more sense there :)

Once again Yahtzee has proven that he is brilliant as he reviews Wolfenstein. Must watch. Now.

I don't normally post to the great stuff on The Daily WTF because I expect anyone who reads UFies.org regularly to already be subscribed there too, but this post about The Ultimate State Selector struck me (as amazingly bad). Anyone who has done any web programming has seen this problem more than once, but I'm sure that most everyone has figured some way to avoid the solution that this particular user found.

Wow, that's all I can say...

Well, they're sort of lampooning themselves, but the gaming industry has released a 'Don't Copy That Floppy' Sequel which Warns of Piracy; Includes id Software Cameo, and Klingons. Also with the same rapper DP. Seems to concentrate more on people selling software and music, instead of the original which was more talking about trading. Interesting shift, sadly not nearly as cool as the original, though the "you'll get raped in prison for copying music online" was a nice twist.

A great story over at the daily WTF about a coder on a doomed game back in the day. Some great and funny stuff in there, like this:

Another fun bug caused the enemy AI to do your work for you. A rogue enemy plane would suddenly reject his mother country and start shooting down his own teammates. That is, until his wings fell off the plane since he was firing his guns. Then he'd kamikaze his plane into the ground, which would launch the plane into outer space that the MicroProse executives probably didn't find nearly as funny as I do.

Felicia Day points that the Premier of The Guild Season 3 is up. Sadly still an "exclusive" MSN Video thing. Bleah.

OMG Funny as hell... Dana passed on me "Puke In My Mouth" a response to Jizz In My Pants. That's just awesome.

Bonus: My Box in a Box, a response to "Dick in a Box".

OMFG I have just wasted the last 20 minutes looking through the latest twitter meme #songsincode. Epically awesome. Don't think of it as wasting time, think of it as increasing your coding skills by learning to parse other people's code.

Also I hear that the new facebook 3.0 iPhone app is available, but it's not showing up for me yet.

People of Walmart: a collection of all the creatures that grace us with their presence at Walmart, America's favorite store. Ha!

forgetfoo picks out a test of some great plot summaries. IE:

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE: Religious extremist terrorists destroy government installation, killing thousands.

Former Ku Klux Klan leader Johnny Lee Clary tells some stories about his days in the KKK. Pretty damn funny actually. The black preacher they're talking about also sounds like an amazing example of tolerance, and defeated the entire clan.

I recently discovered the 'not always right' blog, and it's posts like this that makes it a completely awesome repository of stupid customer quotes :)

I don't personally believe that the poo trap is an actual product.

Normally I wouldn't post something as simple as the Flickr Blog's post on Research in Antarctica if not for the last few images :) Those wacky researchers know how to have fun :)

Len passed on this bit from the Register, and a Zombie plague was analysed by Canadian maths prof and they determined that violence was indeed, the only option. Now where's my shovel?

Highs and lows. Ha! It's funny cause it's true.

YouTube video of Global New's YRandene Neill Accosted by a Dog. I'm sure you've already seen this, but I link to it for a few reasons, partly for the transition from "this is a well mannered dog" to the utter sarcasm of "oh we've sold these two haven't we?". I haven't seen as much dog on woman action since... well, I can't really say least I incriminate myself :) Thanks to Sarah for sending this over to me!

Girls In Bikini Reading Star Wars. Not much more to say really. It's sexist, and probably best to listen to with the sound off.

Merry Friday.

Conan had this slightly amusing comment on the Microsoft Word injunction thing. Thanks Aryk.

The Onion News Network has a great piece on how thew New Google Opt Out Feature Protects Users' Privacy By Moving Them To A Remote Village. For all you security concerned out there, this is something I recommend you do immediately....

For the lack of humor impaired, this is humor. Though I'm wondering if Google got any calls or emails about this.

Cracked.com proves once again how (some) people are absolutely insane with their expose of a set of 5 Incredibly Impractical Sexual Fetishes. The most revealing thing is the "typical quote" section from the associated fan sites. Makes me scared to leave the house....

I love it when a good idea comes to life. In this case, the Dilbert cartoon where Wally programs his IM to randomly send messages to his boss.... well, someone built it using python and dbus. That is super-awesome.

It's people rolling tires down a ski hill... what could be more fun. You probably want to skip towards the 7:00 mark to see the big tire going down :)

Ha! N00b Boyfriend video from the folks at College Humor.

Great question over at StackOverflow.... How did you get your first programming job? The top story includes this gem:

Luckily I didn't have any quizzes or tests the next day, so I hopped into my P.O.S. Nissan Sentra and drove 3 1/2 hours home. When I got there, I realized that the only suit I had was a tan corduroy leisure suit I last wore in 9th grade. The mall was closed, so I had to make due. Fortunately I was the same height as I was in 9th grade, but the trousers were a tight squeeze.

I really am not sure what this is, but IO9 collected some Star Wars standup videos. Some painful, some funny in their painfulness ;)

If you're a mac lover, you definitely don't want to watch IceT and his Mac Repair.

I know, I know, all these Downfall Hitler mashups get tiring. I do like this new tirade against iTunes though.

A picture of a man with a cat on his head. This is how I go to sleep at night actually, except I'm lying down, and the cat is horizontal on my head, not vertical.

An oldie but a goodie: True Porn Clerk Stories. Other links to this sort of thing (classic internet lore) over at the reddit article.

Sometimes it takes something like this to truly show one of the major faults in the Linux world. I'm as big a fan as the next guy (well, unless the next guy isn't a Linux fan), but sometimes the.... "focus" of the community isn't quite where I think it should be :) I want my John Stewart smooth too!

The most awesome XKCD is going to be released in book form, so sayeth Slashdot.

Someone at work posted this awesome gamer shirt design.

GI Joe Movie Battles, Destruction And Torture Reenacted In Toy Form. That about says it all :)

Aryk pointed to this Crude But True, T-shirt.

forgetfoo remembered better than I did that today is sysadmin appreciation day, and notes some of the things that a sysadmin has to deal with each day. Hopefully you hugged your sysadmin today. No one hugged me :(

Kudos to forgetfoo for the adminspotting poster, I wonder if anyone got their t-shirts yet... (old internet meme/joke from the 90's, you probably won't get it unless your an old curmudgeon like me).

Via reddit comes an awesome picture to start your morning with.

Douchebag Name Generator.

I'm sure you've seen this before, so I post it only for completeness. Here's how William Shatner Makes Palin's Speech Into Poetry over on the late show. Personally I think this is brilliant.

Aside: Sucky pre-roll ad crap.

Via reddit. Some of the the year 2000 - from 1900 predictions aren't all that far off actually. Consider that personal airships could be considered small planes (and these days it's not unreasonable for someone to own a little Cessna), undersea tourist boats are part of Disneyland and IIRC West Edmonton Mall, and I've seen them move houses by train on the discovery channel. Hell, the moving pavement is in pretty much all major airports! Of course, the weather control and personal flying machines (assuming these are taken separately from personal airships) were still off. Interesting to see how their ideas were heavily influenced by what was currently "modern". I can only imagine just how completely off our current predictions for the year 2100 will be..

A Washing Machine emulator. Depressingly accurate.

Ok, google is pretty awesome sometimes. Feel free to try the search yourself :)

From i can haz cheezburger.

An ex-coworker of mine just sent me a collection of the 15 Most Literal Photos Ever.

An amusing look at what would happen news wise If Man Walked on the Moon Today.

Not sure if I missed the month and it's really April 1 today, but it looks like The Onion has been sold to the People's Republic of China. Via ForgetFoo().

Penny Arcade has their own look at the announcement that Microsoft will open retail stores near Apple Stores. As you may expect, this RETAIL OBLIVION gets the usual treatment :)

Via one of my flickr groups comes a craiglist ad for someone wanting to get a Nikon D40 any way he can!

It's stupid, immature, probably photoshopped, but I still giggled a bit at this.

Now it all makes sense! this cartoon which matches cartoon characters with medical afflictions explains it all!

Someone on the Valve (the Half Life guys) created a handy Valve Time to actual time chart to help people decipher what phrases like "today" or "this q1" actually mean.

Gizmodo points to what happens if you Auto-Tune the News. This is the same auto-tune that singers use to hide the fact that they can't sing (you know who I'm talking about)...

"Roommate Confessions", some of the most disturbing acts of revenge you'll read today...

The Daily WTF has a great SQL String entry. Best part for me is the final 'added clarity' comment :)

Disturbing but cool Star Wars classic art mash-ups over at Sci-Fi Wire. The page you really want to go to though is the worth 1000 page.

Am I the only one who thinks that this "there I fixed it" isn't such a bad idea?

Even the Microsofties will enjoy the latest Joy of Tech cartoon, entitled The secret behind Apple rumors!. One of those great "possibly bordering on reality" cartoons... :)

I know this is supposed to make me feel guilty about eating bad food, but some of the stuff on This is why you're fat looks sooooo good!

Great video over at Boing Boing of the unboxing of a Chinese iPhone knock-off that looks just like an iPhone, and barely works.

IO9 looks at the question of Are We In A Villain Recession?

Don't Copy That Floppy 2 is COMING SOON!

Not for those into naturopathy without a sense of humor.... Homeopathic A&E.

Aryk pointed me to this one on shipment of fail: Suggest a caption as I’m speechless. I LOL'd. I'm speechless too.

OK, this just made me giggle. Short story, 23 year old got drunk, had a knife, figured it'd be a good idea to break into a house and threaten the owner. Turns out the owner was 72. Oh, and a former boxer. The pictures tell the story of what happened. Damn kids get off my lawn!

Funny little deleted scene in Terminator 3 Explains Why The Terminators Look Like Arnold. I understand why they cut it, but really glad it surfaced! Via /Film.

Forgetfoo has an awesome New iPhone 3Gs parody ad from College Humor. Hilarious.

A Man and His… Squirrel? via Snuzzy.com. Very cute, especially the shower scene. And this is a real squirrel I'm talking about, not some innuendo :)

Just a series of pictures, cause I've had a long day and need the amusement :)

Link from digg via my friend SS.... What Your Facial Hair Really Says About You. I have to object, I'd totally take my socks off!

Great addition to the PHP manual page for goto with a bit of XKCD...

Some great Workout Videos to make you feel a bit better about not going to the gym. The exercise ball one is my favorite!

Macenstein points to an honest “laptop hunters” commercial, with a real guy, finding a real laptop, for real things. NSFW audio though.

Jack Russell terrier puppies, live on ustream. Currently the puppies are feeding, and mom is looking very tired.

Here's your laugh for the day... check out Microsoft's Windows Internet Explorer 8: Get the facts comparison page. Don't you love mindless marketing propaganda. The only way that I can see these comparisions being complete and outright lies are some minor wordings put in the comments to explain how Chrome and Firefox don't have security, privacy, web tools, reliability (ha!) and manageability.

This reminds me of talking to someone who has just quit smoking and saying how wonderful they are now, ignoring the legacy of the 2 pack a day habit they left behind (in this case, we call it Internet Explorer 6, still a plague to the web). Ah well, I'm pretty sure that most people reading this site don't use IE8 for anything other than doing Windows Update on their parents and in-laws computers anyway....

Weird Al does Craigslist, Doors style via Boing Boing. Awesome.

If you're a TopGear fan, you'll really enjoy Jeremy's Extreme Ford Fiesta road test. Give it a few minutes to go from funny-serious to serious surreal, and to awesome.

Funny little video on If Google Were Your Roommate...

The Flickr blog has some examples of when You think you’re so funny.

I hear it's the latest craze with the teenagers, so parents beware! Do not let your children near the baby pathers or they could be drawn into the dangerous world of panther huffing!

35 Tip Jars Designed to Make You Give More. First is my favorite I think, Om nom nom...

Someone has gone out and compiled a list of the 25 Best Programmer WebComic Strips. Lots of XKCD and Dilbert in there. I've got about 1/3rd of them ready to be printed out and hung on the wall of my next office.

Wasted Talent has a great cartoon about how your job is like a Japanese RPG.

Speaking as someone who has been on both sides of this relationship, I find The Vendor Client relationship - in real world situations hilarious. Thanks Darren.

Zero Punctuation's review of Duke Nukem Forever has got to be his most brilliant so far. Lots of little stuff in there (as usual) that the hardcore gamers (especially those of us around from the DN3D and who know who John Romero are) will love :)

Star Wars ABC is a set on Flickr. Who wouldn't want to print these out and make flashcards for your little nerdlings?

Batteries Feel Included has an easy solution on how to get the girl. Most hilarious while not 100% far fetched :) Also a nice tie in with Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.

The Geek “Must Do Before You Die” Checklist. Via a share from Len on Google Reader.

Title basically says it all... A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages. Awesomely accurate :) To quote:

1972 - Dennis Ritchie invents a powerful gun that shoots both forward and backward simultaneously. Not satisfied with the number of deaths and permanent maimings from that invention he invents C and Unix.

The Duke Nukem Forever List. Celebrating what's taken less time to come out than Duke Nukem' Forever.

Post-It inventor watching viral internet post-it-tricks video. Also has a link to the post-it ticks videos. I recommend clicking through to the vimeo site and watching it in high def. Very cool.

Stack Overflow asks What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered? and the masses respond with some absolute gems. IE:

//Now, God only knows

Thankfully my favorite ("drunk, fix later") is in there too.

Dork Yearbook is a tumble blog of old pictures of nerds and geeks (and dorks) in their youth. Some of these are horrifyingly familiar.

OK, it took me a bit to get this, but when I did, it was the damn funniest thing ever. Check out Pulp Browsers. I won't give you any hints if you don't get it though :) (unless you ask really nicely).

Well, it's not the full new ISS module, but Colbert will get NASA Treadmill Named After Him. For US people you can watch the segment over here.

Oh go on, laugh, it's funny :P

Via Aryk.... Man Builds Chair That Tweets His Farts, Single-Handedly Justifying Twitter's Existence. Not much more to say, other than I want my couch to do this. It would certainly make my twitter stream more interesting!

Funniest LOLCat evah? I haz found it! Has awesomeness on many levels.

Funny or Not? April Fools' Day Pranks Roundup. Have I mentioned I can't wait for this day to be over?

Also a 2009 roundup.

Iron Man vs Bruce Lee: FIGHT!

Funny introduction to twitter in the video twouble with twitters. Thanks for the link Len (who doesn't get it either).

While Failblog shows this as a Baby Name Fail, I say it's a complete and udder win! In other news, I've found the name for my first-born.

Shuttle-Riding Bat Dies The Most Glorious Death Imaginable.

Really not much more to say, other than thanks Len for the link.

Oops, dupe! Sorry about that :)

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that this happens to. Another brilliant XKCD cartoon.

Great video of a presentation from MythBusters Co-Host Adam Savage on Obsession. Via @gatewayy.

Macenstein asks: What the hell is Best Buy selling? I'm pretty sure that when Apple released the new Mac Mini they didn't stretch it out like that. Really, I have no idea what they were thinking, other than maybe people expect a 2.0 product to be bigger?

The title of OH… MY… GOD should tell you something about how Woz looked on DWTS last night. Still, I must say that the geek troops should rally to keep our man in!

Nunchuck Fail on Fail Blog. Hilarious, even though you know exactly how it will end, and it does, badly.
