Trolling the Apple store is impossible because they're too nice - Video
I would have thought he would dance really obnoxiously, or scream or run around, but this was a much more calculated troll. Ordering Pizza, walking a goat, dating and being dressed as Darth Vader didn’t get a rouse out of any employee at the Apple store. It’s just astonishing the amount of f*** that was not given that day…

MineCon happening in Las Vegas after all on November 18, 19
MineCraft held a poll a few months ago on whether players would like to see a convention for one of the hottest indie titles ever developed. The catch however was that it would cost Con-goers $90 just for registration, which according to the poll on Notch’s blog was something that 36,000 + people voted they would “No, definitely not!”. Well, It looks like it’s going to happen anyway, and at the Mandalay Bay casino of all places (fancy, shmancy) — More after the break!

What if gadgets had human body parts? - Art by Mads Peitersen
Computers are such a mystery of hardware and software that it simply boggles the mind of the average joe — I mean, when I was a young lad, I visualized the inside of a computer being a series of gears, wenches and belts like a robot(!), but it wasn’t until the day my dad helped me take apart a computer I saw the chips, boards and mangles of wires. Of course, we all know a PC like the back of our hands today, but I imagine there was a time when you’d have believed anyone if they told you a computer was full of bones, guts and brains!

Apple iCloud (Beta) in action - Video
Apple iCloud (Beta) in action - Video
Judging by what we see, iCloud will be a web-based experience that’s tailored to mobile devices, but is still powerful on the desktop. The design is wonderful (maybe a little to artsy), and we really dig how the interface matches OS X Lion and the rest of Apple’s platforms. Really impressive so far, and we are looking forward to seeing iCloud in full swing this fall…

Capcom: MegaMan Legends 3 NOT making a comeback, project completely scrapped
As if you weren’t chocked up enough about MegaMan Legends 3 being cancelled, Capcom has come out officially to say there’s absoutely zero chance that it will be picked up again in light of the fan’s efforts to keep the project alive. — More after the break!

Full Metal Alchemist does outtakes, voice over hilarity ensues - Video
Full Metal Alchemist does outtakes, voice over hilarity ensues - Video
With so much grunts, eroticism, and long stares in anime it’s hard to think that some of the voice over actors can keep a straight face even in some of the most tensest of scenes. Well, apparently Funimation is only human and did what any other person would do in their situation: make their beloved characters curse and spout out reddit memes.

New Ultimate Spider-Man is half-Mexican half-African american
A new Spider-Man for a new age, I like the direction Marvel is taking by changing up the usual requirements that go into any comic book hero; the necessity of them being white.
For a culture as diverse as the world itself, the US and its heroes ought to reflect the everyman — y’know, the ones who usually become super hereos by some sort of freak accident, like say getting bit by a radioactive spider.
How will audiences take to this new web-slinger, who isn’t just black, but half-Mexican and half-African American? — More after the break!
