70-min review of Phantom Menace is a ferociously good deconstruction of everything wrong with it and is actually funny at the same time: http://www.slashfilm.com/2009...
Russian model flips out in restaurant, throws glasses, has fight with staff and police, smashes the entry door, cuts hand, refuses treatment, pulls hair of attending doctor, gets bundled into a police car, is beaten up by two officers, gets concussion and a broken nose: http://english.pravda.ru/society...
Sicknessssssssssssss. Plus this one has history: "The car has been used about 5 times - The drive through London (where it made the 6 O'clock ITN National news) on the way to the Sony (Polyphony) Gran Turismo 4 launch (Sony based all of the visuals and sound of the car on this Speed 12), the test that was done by EVO magazine, the drive up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with Tiff Needell driving."

That is going to be rather expensive, I would imagine.

Demoscene dude requests pixel art from other dude demoscene dudes, tiles his shower with it in an over-long timelapse video. Skip to 5 mins for the reveal. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
"The cells were then incubated in a solution containing nutrients to encourage them to multiply indefinitely. This nutritious “broth” is derived from the blood products of animal foetuses, although the intention is to come up with a synthetic solution." :(

Amazing nutbag in the comments: "DEATH BY STUPIDITY Einstein said '2 things i deem infinite, the Universe and the stupidity of man'. He also explained us what mass is: a hurricane-like vortex of spacetime which according to his principle of equivalence between mass and acceleration, attracts more the faster it turns. Nobel prize wilczek and myself in my work on fractal Universes showed we can find the mass of all particles by considering the frequency of those vortices. But quantum physicists wouldnt accept Einstein nd when he died tried to promote absurd theories like the 'higgs' particle which nobody knows how can give 'mass' to every other particle of the Universe if it is invisible, if particles colliding repel... But Einstein was a lonely genius and quantum physicists were doing Nuclear Bombs and Atomic cannons (LHC is aquark cannon but in orwelian neolanugage now this industry has been privatized after the cold war nd). Plainly speaking we do not need this Damocles machine, a 13...

Quite solid theory in the papers referenced, apparently. Nice quote: "His latest calculations made him realise how uncanny it was that there could be a black hole at just the right size for powering a starship. "Why is there such a sweet spot?" he asks. The only reason for an intelligent civilisation to make a black hole, he sees, is so it can travel the universe. "If this hypothesis is right," he says, "we live in a universe that is optimised for building starships!""

Let's not forget we really need to work on good defensive shields or some shit before we even start moving at speeds for viable interstellar travel.

This is what you get when you use simulations with no ion channels: "This is light years away from a cat brain, not even close to an ants brain in complexity. It is highly unethical of Mohda to mislead the public in making people believe they have actually simulated a cat's brain. Absolutely shocking."

My favourite overblown statement of the day - amBX on Edge Online - "Whatever size screen you’ve got, amBX will make it feel like a 50-inch panel. It extends the experience into the room." - http://www.edge-online.com/feature...

Quote: "I WAS TRYING TO PLAY THE SINGLE PLAYER, BUT I THINK I MUST HAVE BLINKED OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE I WAS AT DA END OF THE GAME BEFORE I KNOW IT. THIS IS WHAT THE SINGLE PLAYER WAS LIKE: SHOOTING GALLERY, FAKE MOVIE BIT, SHOOTING GALLERY, FAKE MOVIE BIT, SHOOTING GALLERY, OVER. IT WAS THE WURST." - seems fair enough!
