Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' - 08/1...
Stunning. Truly stunning. This is someone with a firm grasp of the issue expertly calling out the damage that the current US hatemongering can cause. I hope he isn't drowned out too much by the less sane individuals out there.
Ground Zero Mosque?
This is everything that's wrong with the American media nicely explained by a grumpy brit. I can't believe so many Americans still believe their TV news.

Secondary Concerns
This is an amazingly well written description of the challenges of writing good secondary dialogue for a computer game. Also why the audio in Splinter Cell: Conviction was so abysmal that it virtually ruined the game.

Why DVD (and game) piracy is so popular
This is something that's been bugging me a lot since I joined lovefilm and started really watching a lot of rented DVDs, but explained in a really nice format:
And there's a very similar situation with PC games, only even worse:
The DVD one in particular is annoying me because I pay £15 a month to rent DVDs, but they get to me slower and in a less user-friendly form than if I just torrented the damn things. And they repeatedly shout at me about how piracy is theft before every film. Grrrrrr.
I heard about a DVD that someone rented recently which started with a screen saying "Thanks for supporting the industry" and then went right into the film. Must have been an indie flick.

Luckiest multiplayer gaming kill ever
I'm one of the 3 or 4 people on the planet who haven't actually played Modern Warfare 2 yet, but you don't need to know the game to realise that this is a seriously lucky knife throw.

Remi Gaillard - Batman
Casting fear into the hearts of the criminal underworld - and anybody who just happens to walk past - it's BATMAN!

Juggling
Ok, so he's got the basics down. With practice I think he has the potential to be quite good.

Folding Plug
Somebody has to make this a reality. My laptop bag would be so much easier to pack with this.

High-Speed Robot Hand
When the real robot uprising happens there won't be any running from slow, lumbering but unstoppable machines. You won't even have time to blink.
Of course, if you don't believe that we will be inevitably ruled over by our own creations then this is merely an extremely impressive display of engineering.

BNP MEP Nick Griffin + KKK Terrorist
I hope that the people that voted this man into his new position are ashamed of themselves.
I can only assume that he's inbred from only the purest of indigenous stock. Part of a shrinking gene pool that I'd be glad to see the back of.

Shepard Smith Calls Out "More and More Frightening" Fox E-mailers
Somebody on Fox with the balls to call out their more unhinged viewers. I just wish that some of the other anchors wouldn't stoke the fires of hate so much.
