It’s “Must See Youtube Video!” It’s Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite in a Microsoft mini-movie commerical. Near the end you’ll see a dancing Bill Gates! Just priceless…

Bollards are deployed in the UK. I think we can use these in the US to stop stupid drivers! We have too many stupid people on the roads! If you don’t know what a bollard is or what it looks like, check out this demo:
Here’s a video of stupid people trying to cheat the bollards:
So, a new new portable DVD player is coming out that looks very attractive and has some excellent features. On the looks side it has a bamboo encrusted lid…
… and an attractive leather carrying case. Functionally, it has a 10-inch wide LCD and touch panel controls. Overall very nice. The price tag however is absurd. In the words of Gizmodo
If you’re going to spend $1200 on such a device, why not just get a notebook that can do the same thing and lots more, and probably have a bigger screen and cost less?
A few blogs wrote about this DVD player, but what bothers me the most is that none commented on the following image:

What more is there to say?
I wonder who thought up the concept of this game…
Exec #1: We really need to penetrate the Japanese market, if we want to stand any chance during this next generation showdown.
Exec #2: So all we have to do is combine all the things the Japanese might like into one game, and we are guarenteed a hit.
Three hours of market research later….. (checked random DBZ forums)
Exec #1: We have DONE IT. The market research has shown us that the Japanese want Women in Bikinis, Katanas, Samurai, and Zombie Slaying. This is brilliant.
Marketing: It is not American enough for our console’s “Image”. It is completly lacking in racing, and World War 2 aspects.
Exec #2: No worries, we have that covered also, the main heroin will wear…. a cowboy hat, nothing more American than that.
Modeler: Oh hell yes I will model that.
Game Programmer: Huh…. guess it couldn’t be any worse than programming the physics to trap a monkey in a plastic ball.

I was suprised to see a mention of the Fresno Fair on boingboing.net. Apparently a photographer that sells pictures of your loved ones with birds has determined that he can have a “copyright-protected area”. lol
