This Video is Entirely CGI - No real-life footage
This Video is Entirely CGI - No real-life footage
From the creator of one of the most successful short films of all time, “The Third & The Seventh” comes his latest creation, a commercial for Silestone. It may seem as though the video is partially camera footage, but it is not — this commercial is 100% pure CGI with no cameras used. Truly awesome!

Webcomic of the Week - Boxer Hockey
This week, our web-comic radar points to the master of facial expression and oddball humor, Tyson Hesse’s webcomic Boxer Hockey. This series comes with a bit of a warning, its a little bit like syrup covered pancakes — you start with just one, than another, than before you know it, your done them all, and craving some more.

PSA: Talking to your kids about Star Wars
PSA: Talking to your kids about Star Wars
It’s important to start from a young age and make sure they don’t get pushed astray. In this video, the Asylum gets serious with a new PSA: Talking with your kids about Star Wars. A hilarious comment from the Youtube Clip was — “This helps tremendously. But is there also a support group for parents who need to discuss Monty Python with their children? That’s my issue today.” by Poultrygeist99

The Google eBooks Commercial is really neat - Video
Google eBooks is yet another player in the online book store battle, now having Amazon, iBooks, Sony’s store and a handful of others in the game, things can become a little chopped up. What Google eBooks hopes to do is unify eBook purchases and make it possible to read your books on any device — be it a computer, iPad, Kindle or Android device. Their new commercial pretty much sums it up in one of the coolest paper-crafty ways.

Updated on Dec 8, 2010 by

Well, the Wikileaks riot has officially started, namely because 4Chan has jumped into the scene and is pummeling websites left and right — Tumblr.com may have been just a test. Dubbed “OpPayback”, Anonymous (for new folks “Anonymous” are the warriors of 4Chan) has started successful attacks on Visa.com, and have now moved onto the meat of the operation, PayPal — but why has this riot broken out?

Inside the Flying Machine Arena - Where Quadrotors plot the Robot Apocalypse
Inside the Flying Machine Arena - Where Quadrotors plot the Robot Apocalypse
If anything, this is the modern-day Skynet - A secret lab with hundreds of buzzing autonomous Manhacks that could rip your face off in seconds. Getting past the fact that all of mankind is doomed, this is pretty cool - I mean a whole lab dedicated to epic flying robots?

Google Wave is reborn by the Apache Software Foundation
Google Wave has gone down in history as one of Google’s biggest failures - but for the people who enjoyed Wave, the news that Google was killing off Wave was heartbreaking. Recently, a team of highly notable technology firms such as Solute, Novell, SESI and the University Duisburg-Essen have embraced the Wave, and are helping Apache and Google round out support and keep Google Wave alive. Who knows if it will ever be a “success”, but it’s here to stay for a little while longer.
