Guy covers his house using 54,020 programmable LED lights - Video
What happens when you’re rich and you have a crap-load of time? You cover your house in 54,020 LED lights and program them to create a lightshow straight out of a Las Vegas Christmas celebration — “This setup consists of 54,020 LEDs (220 StellaGreen strings controlled by 15 StellaScapes E16-II controllers), programmed to dance to the music via MADRIX Ultimate running on a custom built Core i5-760 @ 2.8GHz w/ 8GB of RAM.” — DeversDreamWeavers

How website speed affects traffic and revenue - Infographic
When building a website, one of the hardest things is trying to squeeze as much out of it, while at the same time keeping a small footprint. Every image, script, letter, icon, video and CSS file has to travel through wires across the globe to the user in a few seconds, and less time it takes the better. As the amount of time it takes for your site to load, the amount of people that leave increases exponentially. The following infographic is a good example as to why some sites perform well, and others don’t do so hot.

The Dark Knight Rises, 2 minute Official trailer has been leaked - Video
The Dark Knight Rises, 2 minute Official trailer has been leaked - Video
Just a heads up that this is a pretty crappy version (quality wise), so if you’re waiting for the real thing, it should be available to watch in glorious HD in a few weeks. If you’re too stubborn to wait like the rest of us, feel free to watch the epicness contained within this video, just know that it’s not the way Christopher Nolan would want it. When the official release sparks, we’ll give you a heads up! UPDATE: replaced w/ official HD release of trailer.

SOPA explained by Law Graduate (and gamer) TotalBiscuit - Video
SOPA explained by Law Graduate (and gamer) TotalBiscuit - Video
This is the only video on the internet you should be talking about right now, because it’s the one video that shows exactly how serious the SOPA bill actually is. This isn’t another crackpot freaking out, or an extremist flying off the wall - this is a 28 year old dude that lives in the UK explaining how the people who made pizza a vegetable (aka, your government) is going to methodically destroy everything the internet stands for - this isn’t funny, and it is time for action.

The Dark Knight Rises Prologue Leaks (video) - Transcript included
SPOILER WARNING - This video contains footage leading up to the new Batman film coming next year, and the transcript details everything in the video. The video is pretty bad quality and the audio is a bit out of sync, but it’s the best the guy recording it could do, and that’s why we included the transcript. There’s not much else left to say other than it looks awesome, and we can’t wait to see the final cut on the silver screen!

How to enable the New Twitter (all steps included) #LetsFly
Before we take a dive into the new Twitter, let me make something clear - this isn’t an update for Twitter. This is a complete re-work of the entire company, and the re-design is just the surface. With the unification of their follow & tweet buttons, the addition of branded pages, embeddable tweets, and the re-built apps, Twitter is taking the first steps required to become a very profitable company. The key to all of this is transforming the billions of tweets, photos and videos into useful information for their users, and blurring the lines between mobile, desktop and apps — Now, let’s make sure you get in first.

Pid: Portal, Little Big Planet and Super Mario rolled into one game - (Video)
Pid: Portal, Little Big Planet and Super Mario rolled into one game - (Video)
I love games that take our favorite things, and mix them up just the right way without simply copying the original and instead adding some new value and polish to them. Pid is a side-scroller, co-op game where you manipulate the world to get through without causing too much trouble for yourself. It’s got stealth, a great style and the music is definately going to be killer — Pid should be coming to digital platforms 2012
