| Posted: 03 May 2011 03:00 AM PDT Has there ever been a more awkward pairing than professional figure skating and video games? This clip answer that question in a resounding fashion (it’s “no” btw). First off, this being a Russian duo at some competition in the middle of Moscow, they really missed the boat by not doing something Tetris related. Sorry, but someone dressed at the L block doing the robot can’t be anymore awkward as the girl dressed up as Mario. Also, I’m confident if you traveled to some far-away, hidden tropical island in the middle of the Pacific, and found some American solder who had crash landed there during WW2 and was completely oblivious to all the changes in the world, you’d have a conversation like the following: “Do you know what year it is, old timer?” “1946? I lost track sometime ago…” “It is now 2011.” “Oh my God…” “Do you know who our greatest ally is in the East is?” “No clue…” “Japan.” “I can’t believe it…” “It’s the truth; after the war we helped them rebuild and now we’re best friends!” “The world has changed so much…” “Hey, do you know what color Mario’s brother sports?” “Green. Everyone knows that. What, do I look like a sh*thead to you or something?” But I digress. BTW, the above can’t hold a candle to the original Super Mario on ice, starring Alyssa Milano and the guy who played Mr. Belvedere… Moscow’s 2011 Figure Skating World Championships features some Mario love [Go Nintendo] |

| Twitter buys Tweetdeck, better not mess with something good Posted: 02 May 2011 03:00 PM PDT
At least that’s the according to Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, who reports that it includes “both cash and Twitter stock.” Now, you might be asking, “Why is this unfortunate?” Well, it’s only unfortunate if Twitter changes anything. And it’s likely they will. But for the moment, Tweetdeck is fantastic because it allows users to run multiple accounts in the background, get alerted when they’re mentioned, set their own speed and time for seeing updates, sort who they’re following more neatly, and a slew of other things that are absolutely must-have if you use Twitter, in my opinion. Twitter’s going to likely want to do a couple things. 1) Make money off Tweetdeck and 2) continue trying to get people to use Twitter products. The good news, then, is that they own Tweetdeck. There are some issues with non-Twitter-owned products and their API access that becomes problematic some times, and so if Tweetdeck’s under the Twitter umbrella, things are a lot “safer” for users of the software. But Twitter might have actually purchased the software in order to keep UberMedia, who Twitter hates, from getting Tweetdeck and then having everyone leave Twitter’s native apps (except for “Twitter for iPhone” which is actually good, although Twitter didn’t make it, sigh). And that scares me — if Twitter’s just buying Tweetdeck to be on the defensive, do they really have the user experience in mind? Because it sounds more like they’ve got their own safety and greed in mind. That’s cool; we live in a capitalistic world. But I don’t want no one messing with my Tweetdeck. The other issue — money — might be more problematic. There have been concerns that Twitter can’t justify its valuation because they can’t figure out any way to make money off of the product. Sure, billions (I think it’s billions; worst case it’s hundreds of millions or something) of people use Twitter. It’s a great, fun product for many different reasons. And lots of people use Tweetdeck and prefer it as their client. But if Twitter is hell-bent on making that $50 million back, then there’s a good chance that Tweetdeck could become cluttered with ads. Imagine if you fired up Tweetdeck and there was a column that was entirely dedicated to “promoted trends,” like the new version of Twitter for iPhone has at the top. Or if some interstitial ad popped up every ten minutes reminding you to use J.G. Wentworth – I want those advertisers to die a slow death, in case you didn’t know – to GET CAAAAASH NOW! That’d be brutal. Sure it might result in some accidental clicks and make Twitter some money, but it would hog user’s computer memory, and it would cheapen the user’s ability to enjoy the experience. Which is why if you’re a fan of Tweetdeck, you probably shouldn’t be celebrating Twitter’s decision to drop invest just quite yet. |
| VIDEO: Man dresses like dolphin and bounces ball on his nose Posted: 02 May 2011 01:30 PM PDT Yeah there’s lots of real news today. But then there’s also a video of some jackass on “Britain’s Got Talent” painted like a dolphin, making dolphin noises, and balancing a ball on his nose. But where’s the 24/7 coverage of that? In case your masturbation habits have just gone to a very strange place, the fellow’s name is Blair Christie and he’s a 31-year-old financial analyst from England. You’re not alone if you’re wishing he too were hanging out in a mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan over the weekend. Didn’t even really need bullets, just some reckless tuna making.

| Wait, what? Ashley Tisdale looks… sexy? Posted: 02 May 2011 01:00 PM PDT  I may need to lie down for awhile... I cannot believe I am saying this after all these months of busting on her for being the lesser of the chicks on Hellcats, but these pics of Ashley Tisdale for Z!nk magazine (whatever the heck that is) actually make her look… sexy… I don’t know what kind of voodoo witchcraft the folks at Z!nk are practicing but whatever it is I hope they don’t hog it. I mean, if they can make Ashley look this good imagine what they could do for the average guy and his wife or girlfriend. This could start a revolution of hotness.       |
