    Video: This is a 22-megapixel MacBook Pro

    And I thought my new monitor was fancy! (It certainly cost enough...) Here we have a plain ol' MacBook Pro using a series of 28 projectors to create a 22-megapixel display. That works out to 7168x3072. Borderline insane, yes.

    Video: Jimmy Fallon Making Fun Of Billy Ray Cyrus Making Fun Of Miley Cyrus For Quitting Twitter

    Continuing our ongoing coverage of the Miley Cyrus Twitter Crisis of 2009 (hint: she quit), here’s a video from last night’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in which the host plays dress up as Billy Ray Cyrus to make his own rap video. You’ll recall that Miley Cyrus quit Twitter (because her boyfriend told her to, or something). She then made a mock rap video about it. Now, Fallon is making fun of that video, Billy Ray, and Twitter all in one fell swoop. Impressive.

  • Video: Why think when you can watch this fun Philips Lumiblade demonstration?

    Video: Why think when you can watch this fun Philips Lumiblade demonstration?

    There's not too many gadgets out there that I'd spend money on. There's the Zune HD, which, while totally unreadable in direct sunlight, is still otherwise a fine portable media player.

I bring this up only, and I do mean only, to segue into a brief discussion of this here video of the Philips Lumiblade OLED, um, thing. Get it, Philips, lights, OLED, etc. Very high-concept.

    Video: ‘To Catch a Pirate’ is like ‘To Catch a Predator,’ only with pirates

    Another day, another fun video. Today's is “To Catch a Pirate,” a clever parody of the hit American TV show that's “devoted to the subject of identifying and detaining those who contact people they believe to be below the age of consent over the Internet for sexual liaisons.” Only this time, we're dealing with filthy pirates. Software pirates, to be exact. Makes sense: the BSA is behind the video.

    How to Destroy a Hard Drive? Blend It

    Erasing a hard drive. How do you do it? For home use, you don’t need to worry, but when you’re selling a computer, you really don’t want your information to stay on there in any form. I don’t care about the porn so much, but I do worry about bank details and my secret (and [...]

    Professional Video Shoulder Mount for iPhone 3GS

    We came away with two things after watching this video spot from Alex Lindsay, MacBreak Weekly regular, Pixel Corps supremo and Star Wars SFX alumni. One is that Alex is crazy. The second is that he is dead right. What you see in the screengrab is the iPhone 3GS mounted on a shoulder rig. The setup [...]
