Here is an iPhone window display in an AT&T store in Boston. The display is running on a Mac…that crashed.
That’s a Mac kernel panic, which is like a BSOD, except it doesn’t give you any information about why your computer locked up.
Here’s a Mac kernel panic caught on video…
This one is interesting…a Mac guy talking about working on a Mac…
I thought Macs didn’t crash! Where would I get that idea? Hmm…
Also, next time you visit an Apple Store, notice that they have no cash registers! Instead, employee’s have a wireless checkout device…that runs Windows.
Wow! Finally somebody has figured out how to outdo Apple when it comes to product packaging.
I may need to get this phone.
My last post before I do my SIGGRAPH brain dump.
Thanks to Spaghetti for the hook-up.
What do you think? Is it this one (The Ghost)...
... or this one (Star Trek)...
...or our third contender (Gymkata)...
Vote early and vote often!
This almost makes me want...to watch Star Wars again.
This is so outrageously wrong that it seems like a joke...but I think it may be real.
A new game called "Limbo of the Lost" blatantly uses content from several other games.

Here is an article comparing Limbo of the Lost to Oblivion.
Here is a thread of where people uncover more lifted content from other games and movies.
When tourist guy first hit the Internet, parodies soon followed.
And let the parodies of "Limbo of the Lost" begin!
My favorite is Zork...

Is anybody going to do anything about the mayhem in Liberty City?!?!? The police don't seem to care. Read this article that perfectly articulates the issues of the sudden rise of murders...830,000 people or one tenth the population since April 28th!
The Police Squad! intro, recreated in GTA4. Big ups to my bro for this.
For comparison, here's what the original intro looked like in the Naked Gun movie.
I probably started nuking the fridge when I started using twitter.
Give this a try...
This is pretty good (thanks for the hook up Alan!)...
I grew up with the Muppets...I love 'em. I got this at work today...some outtakes from the Muppet Show...never seen anything like this before...
BigDog is certainly an impressive robot. If you haven't seen it, you should first check out the latest video.
Here is a video that shows an earlier version of BigDog...
This is pretty good. The group is called Improv Everywhere. I've heard about the Best Buy prank before, but I had not seen this one, Frozen Grand Central Station:
This is just rude...but it is funny because it is to telemarketers. Here is a funny sample from Jim Florentine Terrorizing Telemarketers.
Here's a slick utility that will clean your screen...best when run full screen. Get it here.
Thanks to Bonnie for the hook-up!
Conan did a spot at ILM/Lucasfilm this past May when he was in San Francisco for a week doing his show. If you haven't seen it, you should.
The video was up on Youtube for a little while, but was quickly yanked.
NBC has the video, but you have to pick the clip you want to watch (I can't link to a clip...grrrr).
Go here and select "Lucasfilm Part 1 (5/1/07)" and "Lucasfilm Part 2 (5/1/07)".
Here are mine:
Bud Light: Jackie Moon
E*Trade: Banking Baby II
Coca-Cola: It's Mine
Audi: Horse Head
Not sure how I missed this part the first 50 times I watched it...
Thanks Trey (via Louis...thanks Louis!).
Here is a video clip of the X-Wing taking off...
No surprise that conspiracy theories abound for what went wrong. This one is probably the closest to the truth...
Best movie series of all time...Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
STAR WARS!!! ...until I hear Lord of the Rings Trumpet.
For your viewing pleasure, I present the final scene from "Turkish Star Wars."
Start here with the original video posted on youtube...
...then watch the Internet phenom Tay Zonday on Jimmy Kimmel last week...
Now that you have Chocolate Rain on the brain, finish with Chad Vader's version...
Isn't the Internet delightful?
Sometimes I get asked why I work so hard on video games. I think I speak for many in my field...we do it for the kids. There is nothing like seeing a child completely immersed in a world you helped create. When you see the joy on their faces...that makes it all worth it.
This is sooo painful...but so much fun! Watch Tara as she realizes she is not as popular as she used to be (with a guest appearance by Paris Hilton). Thanks to my bro for the hookup.
I never get sick of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Here he is at the Tony Awards...
The hits just keep coming from E-dog...
