Last night, Jimmy Fallon and his Brat Pack tried out a prototype version of Project Natal, Xbox 360s answer to Wii controllers…

Brit news source TechCrunch is reporting that Trent Reznor is completely fed-up with his fanboy community on Twitter.

In his own words:

I will be tuning out of the social networking sites because at the end of the day it’s now doing more harm than good in the bigger picture and the experiment seems to have yielded a result. Idiots rule.”

And now, the world premiere of a new Mep trailer…

Everyone needs to be loved, even evil alien superbeings and cyber constructs. The following short is a tale of a love so powerful, it crossed movie trilogies, genders, and even parallel universes to come true.

This is the tale of Smith & Zod.

Feel free to  Digg this video.

This ad man’s ballad is almost as touching as the original.

Admittedly righteous trailer for new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

That’s not to say I can’t nitpick a little. I mean, aren’t these Boba Fett-gadget types getting a little bit overpowered (a la Iron Man on steroids)? The one in the trailer seems like she could take out the entire Jedi brigade by herself.

You can watch the trailer here.

According to TechCrunch, China has really ramped up its censorship fervor recently. Visitors have reported blockages on Twitter, Flickr, and Hotmail, in addition to the well known kiboshing of YouTube.

I suppose one way to demonstrate your evolution as a nation is by petulantly denying any wrongdoing by your former notoriously oppressive regimes. It must be, since our own debonair and worldly President has adopted similar practices, in protecting and preserving Bush administration abuses of yore.

Living Forever Really Wouldn’t Be That Bad (Except for the Seven Sets of Teeth), Fruit Fly Empathy Camp, Kidnapping Twins in the Name of Science, Greg Questions the Evolutionary Benefits of Feeling Like Crap, The U.S. Economy = Ponzi Scheme, Time to Reset the Economy (if Storey Gets Paid), Storey Wants neither Science nor Nature nor Anything Else, Humans Aren’t All That Evil (Except When They Are), and Everyone Loves Conspiracies.

Great TED mini-lecture on a scientific study examining delayed gratification and its ability to allow people to more effectively live up to their potential.

As it turns out, designer Eduard McIntosh is the progenitor of Skynet, or the Oz Head, or whatever computer lineage eventually morphs into the overlord of the Matrix universe.

Called the Autonomous Living Unit, the theoretical one-man-band chair would provide all the needs of the user, and eventually make fully furnished living spaces obsolete. The project is pitched as a solution for homeless people or squatters living without amenities. As long as these people have a few hundred thousand bucks to spare on their pod, they’ll be living it up with the rest of us.

We’re on our way now…
