Macbook Air vs the Macbook Pro - The Air boots faster
This is one of the only good comparisons I could find of the Macbook Air, and the Macbook Pro — but that’s not all — the guy has a Scottish accent which makes it 100% more awesome right off the bat! The part that really shocked us was the fact that the Macbook Air actually managed to boot almost 2X faster than the Macbook Pro (due to the solid-state drives), and in the GeekBench test, the Macbook Air beat all of the older models, but the Macbook Pro still beat them all in terms of overall power. All in all, the Macbook air seems like a (somewhat) well rounded machine, and is destined to be another hit success with Apple fanboys.

Firesheep allows you to hack into Facebook, Twitter accounts using Firefox
There has been a failure on the internets, and you need to start barracking your Facebook and Twitter accounts because a double-click is all it takes. There are many un-secured HTTP sebsites that don’t effectively hide your info, and that list includes Facebook, Twitter and many of the web’s most popular destinations.

Epson Printer Pit Against an Ariel Atom Racecar
Epson Printer Pit Against an Ariel Atom Racecar
Commercials like this are just so creative. In this one, Epson advertises the speed of their printers by putting it up against a $50,000 race car. How does this work? The printer has to print scale replica of the track while the Ariel Atom 3 races around the same track. Engineers stand around suspensefully keeping a close eye on the progress, making your heart thump every second of the video.

Star Wars re-created using Paper stop-motion
Star Wars re-created using Paper stop-motion
This will make your day — and it sure as heck made my day impossibly awesome. This is an excelent song by Jeremy Messersmith who not only created the song, but teamed up with Eric on Youtube to create a mind-blowing video to go along with it. The video was made using stop-motion, and paper — along with an intense amount of creativity.

Kinect vs Connect Four - Video
Kinect vs Connect Four - Video
Kinect is an abstract, strange way of playing games. Connect Four is a game. Kinect costs quite a lot compared to Connect Four, and Kinect needs electricity whereas Connect Four is powerless. Kinect also requires a bunch of space for you to play, and Connect Four only needs a table top. Kinect also requires you to clean your room.
