Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 -- America teaser

As if there were any doubts that there would be a Modern Warfare 3, especially after all the leaks and rumors coming out, a number of teaser trailers have been making their way online this weekend.

Scientists create creepy robot clones of themselves - Video

Theres many things that makes this video creepy — the intense realism, the overwhelming likeness of the creators and the eyes (OH THE EYES!) — but the creepiest moment of the entire video was when all 3 robots were sitting and chatting with eachother while their creators stood there awkwardly with hands in their pockets.
