Here’s a great little video which has a Sales Guy vs. a web dude. I love how he’s playing Halo throughout it all anyway. Oh, and the way the icons are on the desktop is priceless.
Well, If you ever wanted to see the title screen any of over a thousand different movies, Steven Hill’s Movie Title Screen Page is for you.
There are literally over 1000 differnet movies, and more being added often. Many have different forms, like Laserdisc, and DVD, and Blu-Ray. I didn’t see and HD-DVD, but there were a few betas.
Here are a few screens I picked out from movies I like.
Sky Captain is in 1080p
There are many, many more over at his site, all organized by title. There are quite a few classics, and ones from before the 1950s. Also, if there’s one you love that’s not there, you can submit it yourself.
Well, I enjoyed Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, some other people didn’t apparently. Mostly the writer of this abridged script. I’ll admit, its pretty funny, and this is my favorite part:
KAREN ALLEN
Cate wants to return the Crystal MacGuffin to the ancient City of Gold.
HARRISON FORD
City of Gold? Isn’t that what Nicolas Cage was looking for in National Treasure 2? Are we seriously getting the plot for our shitty sequel to Indiana Jones by ripping off the plot of a shitty sequel to a shitty knock-off of Indiana Jones? I feel like that should unravel the space-time continuum or something.
National Treasure 2 doesn’t hold a candle to National Treasure, which in turn doesnt hold a candle to Indiana Jones (1, or 3(2 is worse then 4)). But anyway, just thought you’d like that.
Well, it seems someone at Google is listening to us (but they already said they were). Google Finance has a favicon:
I like it, it fits, and it is Googly, unlike their new “g” one…
Well, it seems that there are a whole bunch of people who don’t like Google’s new favicon that they switched to last week. John Michael Boling set up an internet petition to bring back Google’s old one.
Turns out that he really didn’t have to go through all that trouble, cause Google says on their Blog that they want your ideas. And they even let you submit them! You have till June 20, 2008, so get to it!
Apparently, I have an I.Q. of 108 after taking the A.E.C Offical I.Q. Test, for 2004-2005. Not bad, that’s average apparently. I don’t know. It was a 20 minute timed test asking various math, matching, and geometry problems. I was able to get all the geometry ones, those were easy. The math ones were alright, and the “which one is different” was simple.
The Dice problem was the hardest one i thought. I spent a good five minutes on that one, and finally guessed in the end. I’m not gonna put what I guessed, cause I don’t know if its right, and dont want to spoil it for you.
I like how it doesnt give the correct answers, this way you can’t cheat and get a better I.Q. Then again, this is the internet, so you could probably find all these answers pretty easy anyway.
Oh well, I enjoyed it.
A sequal to the original Best Stumble pictures, these are better, and wronger. Again, most of these come from ImageChan, which I already knew was a wrong place, but now i know for sure just how messed up it is. And also again, a disturbing amount involve Hitler humor…
The whole list is after the click this time, because there are just a few really, really wrong ones now…
Just read this sales pitch from the World Bear Project:
Founded in 2008, the World Bear program began with a mother’s love and ends with you today.
It began with a young boy in a poverty-stricken section of South Africa, loved nothing more than his stuffed toy, a simple teddy bear. He also had a passion for learning about new places and would stare at pictures of different lands for hours.
Unfortunately, the boy was stricken with ALS at a young age and is already bedridden. His mother sent his stuffed bear to relatives in the Netherlands so he could see his bear in pictures in new and wonderful places. Unfortunately and accidentally, the bear was lost in the mail and never reached its destination.
After hearing the story from his mother, we became passionate about spreading our new found friend’s story to everyone, and using his mother’s idea to let her child see the world outside his room, and make many new friends.
So we ask you, please accept this large cutout of the boy’s bear and let your children take a picture with the bear. Anyone and anywhere is great, we just want more pictures of more friends for our friend.
Please aid our cause in brightening the future of this little boy, and bringing the world closer to him, and closer together!
Doesn’t that sound just heart warming? Until you see the picture of the bear that is:
Yes, the great powers that be on the intenet have set up a legit looking scam to get parents the world over to voluentary have their children pose with Pedo Bear. Oh how I simply cannot wait for these pictures to slowly start coming in, clearly some parents will be clueless. But the real fun will come when someone tries to sue someone else about this, thinking that Pedo Bear is a real life pedophile. Oh, the day that happens will be a great day indeed!
Ever since I got my iPod Touch back in September of 2007, I have been inlove with it, and use it everyday. Of the many iPods i’ve owned, and used over the years, this one is my favorite. Tha beiging said, the announcment of the new iPhone 3G earlier today was a, not supprising, but b. interesting.
Straight from the source (apple.com), a new 8GB iPhone will retail for $199. A new 8GB iPod touch, $299. For the price of an 8GB iPod touch, you could get a 16GB iPhone in Black or White! That is very interesting isn’t it?
One of the key differences between my choice of getting the iPod touch over the iPhone was the price. (I am an at&t wireless customer, so no unlocking needed). Now that the table’s have turned, and the iPhone is $100 cheaper then its strictly music based sister, I have a major dilemia on my hands.
Let’s put aside all the differences between the phone, and the music player, and just think it through this way. Either Apple is making no profit, or taking loss on the new iPhone in order to gain market share. Or they are moving away from the portable music industry, and into the mobile phone one.
Both scenarios I find hard to believe. As for the first choice, well, considering that it was estimated that Apple was making up to if not over 50% margin from each iPhone v1 sold last year, it’s hard to believe that they drastically cut that margin to 5% even 1%. Now, I will agree in a year’s time some, if not most of the components inside the iPhone have decreased in price, but to shave off 50% just seems unlikely.
Now onto the seemingly more unlikely second choice. Seeing as how most people claim that the iPod is one of the main factors in bringing Apple as a company back from the dead, and is credited with it’s famous halo effect at increasing Apple’s market share. But certain events need to be taken into account. With the exception of the iPhone, the iPod has seen less new updates over the past year compared to the rest of the Apple product line. Granted, a few processor speed bumps are no proportional in iPod terms, but, increase battery life, increase storage, and decrease prices are all things missing.
Even in the past few months, with the SDK, it’s been mostly geared towards the iPhone, whereas many of the apps will be perfectly at home on the iPod touch as well. Is it just me, or is it seeming like Apple has been putting less into the iPod platform, and more into the other media outlets.
Steve Jobs said there were three parts to Apple today, Mac, Music (iPod, and iTunes), and iPhone. However, the way I see things today, I see it as the iPhone, and iTunes becoming more powerful then the iPod itself. Which could be a good thing, or a bad thing, we may never know.
Now, I could be totally, and completly wrong about all this, and in 2 weeks, Steve Jobs could announce a brand new iPod that puts everything before it to shame, and I’ll be forced to eat my words. But I don’t see that happening.
Now I just need to decide if I want a new iPhone 3G or not…
And this time it will be Chuck Norris walking down the street, as he shouts “The Nazis are Coming, The Nazis are coming!” and when we ask him how they are coming, he will stare at you, and say “By Space,” and them calmly keep on going, because he’s Chuck Norris, no one scares him, and you should be so lucky he didn’t kill you.
But in all seriousness though, this Independent internet film Iron Sky looks pretty interesting. It’s based on the totally believable premise that the Nazis went to the moon in 1945 to prepare an invasion army to secure the 4th Reich. That army is heading for earth in the year 2018. This movie is so up my ally in so many ways it’s ridiculous. I intend to follow it’s development, and then watch it when it comes out, cause it looks awesome.
So, the Nazis are coming, so let me ask you this, do you know where you’re children are? Because if you don’t then the Nazis may already have them…
