YouTube Digger

Not intended for the snarky blogger.

I came across this a bit by accident, but I find it fascinating nonetheless. I had heard of the famed “$100 laptop” a couple months ago, but I thought it would take ages to come out at that price.

I was partially right.

It’s out, but it’s more than $100 – though the price is still dropping. (And less than the Eee 700)

What’s cool about this little laptop is that, though it may not have all the things you and I have come to love like CD player and such, it still has everything it’s meant to have – including a battery than can be charged four times more times than the regular laptop battery.

If you’re in the mood to pay a little extra, pay attention to the end of the video where he talks about a deal for you to buy one for yourself and get one sent to an underprivileged child.

Microsoft Surface: Codename Milan. Hmmm, it sounds like the start of a Bond movie. It is in fact the new hardware/software combo which is supposedly going to aid Microsoft’s push to take over the world. It won’t be long before you see this table PC slab in hotels and restaurants… maybe. Let’s watch the official teaser advert for it.

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube. It’s simple, to the point, but must have taken absolutely ages to painstakingly compile.

Most TV advertising is rubbish these days, so that’s why when a great one comes along, I like to spread the love for it on here. This latest ad for The Big Yellow Storage Company is one such class act, and is directed by Dougal Wilson.

We all love Star Wars, well most of us, except those haters who think it’s cool NOT to like it, in (what they see as) a clever display of non-conformity. Regardless, I enjoyed watching this compilation of the best Star wars mistakes and bloopers.

The first TV commercial for the new, innovative, internet TV provider Joost has been shown, and it does a good job of explaining the concept.

I love this series of Will it blend? and this is one of the best. Tom Dickson lives up to his name… he looks like a Tom obviously.

This is such a simple little idea, but oh so effective. I love watching World of Warcraft videos, they are always funny, enjoyable and ever so slightly (read hugely) geeky.

So has everyone got their Nintendo Wii yet? Ermmmm no, me neither, because they are still quite hard to get your hands on, both in the US and around the world. This guy, labelled “The funniest nerd waiting in line for a Nintendo Wii” had the right idea though, staying up for 5 days straight and getting in the queue well in advance for one.

I really enjoyed watching this clip, even though I’m not a big player of MMO Games such as World Of Warcraft. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be, but can’t afford the monthly fees, and fear getting soooo addicted I would never get anything else done! This YouTube video shows the power of GMs in the game World Of Warcraft. GMs are Game Masters, who are Blizzard employees given free reign in the game to help out players, and keep an eye on proceedings.

Rather than try and explain this myself, I’ll quote the original video poster…
“This is a project that me and my friends built for school (UC Berkeley). Its made of lego mindstorms, scissors, and some scrap metal. With all things considered, I think it turned out alright. Not only does it fold your paper for you, it also cuts it. It would be the perfect accessory for a fancy, high-tech, Japanese bathroom! This video shows two test runs; the first run works well, while the second one could have gone a little smoother.” (more…)

This is a collection of experiments done by and for the UK Sky One TV programme ‘Brainiac’. It’s a great show presented by Richard Hammond (he of Top Gear and famous for that crash) and Jon Tickle from Big Brother. (more…)

This is not only a great video but also a brilliant piece of artwork. Done using Photoshop, this portrait of John Locke from the TV Series and mega hit ‘Lost’. Terry O’Quinn plays the former disabled guy and now hunter gatherer character, and is probably my favourite from the show, currently on it’s third series. (more…)

This is one hell of an invention, and the first thing that sprung to my mind after watching it was “That could be dangerous!”. But then on second watch, I did decide regardless of the fear of getting a beer can in the face I still want one… and now! (more…)
