Just when I thought maybe I should start saving up to buy the uber-gadget – Microsoft Surface,Â I run into this hilarious video by SarcasticGamer.com on Techcrunch. Now I know that if I were to ever splurge on this ‘Big Ass Table’, my friends would send me this video along with their pre-recorded laugh to watch on the Surface itself!

ThisÂ new unofficial ad showing the sexy iPhone ad through different New Yorkers eyes, almost like a global view. Such a melting pot, this city. Another reason its my favorite in the world.

I just kept this movie in repeat cause the song was so catchy. In case you are wondering as well, it’s Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John.

Local Travel on the Web

I just discovered Geobeats. Its a great resource for videos of places all over the world.

I think I am going to do some more research and write up on this genre of video sites.

I saw this on SolSie – Lighter Side of Technology. Lindseystomp put up a video of her jamming on her electronic violin with the Black Eyed Peas. Its pretty awesome, this violinist has some serious talent.

Gates & Jobs @ D5

abhi — Thu, 31 May 2007 16:46:37 +0000

This is nothing short of a historic meetup – two icons of the World today (not just the tech world) Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. The two met at the D5: All Things Digital – The Wall Street Journal Executive Conference and sat down with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. The conversation is simply engrossing, a must see for everybody!. I have been seeing the full videos over at Gizmodo, but I wanted to keep it here for reference also. Continue reading for all the 7 videos.

XBMC vs. AppleTV

abhi — Wed, 30 May 2007 05:01:38 +0000

There’s a big community that popped up around AppleTV even before the product came out. Then came the hacks almost instantaneously. Even I found myself checking the somethingawful.com forums 5 times a day. People have ported apps, games, rss readers and what not onto the little device that could. People can open it up and install a new hard disk, but the last time I checked AppleTVHacks.net nobody has been able to mod it without cracking it open yet. Why did Apple not make it better? Sure, they are coming around to it by making ‘enhancements available for download’ sometime in the future. Who cares?

XBMC or Xbox Media Centre is the best out there. I have an original XBOX in my living room with the latest version of XBMC running smoothly. I can play every single media file known to man, stream it from the network or the internet, use plugins to interface with almost every well-known website and much more. Why has this software not been ported for mainstream use yet? Why have smaller hardware makers not embraced it for use on their proprietary machines? I recently heard about the Team XBMC hiring Linux developers for the same purpose. Wonder what can we expect to come out of this? Only good, I bet.

A very invigorating poem.

Nintendo Wii

I am hoping to pick up my Nintendo Wii soon, pre-ordered from Future Shop. I am picking this up ‘for’ my 14 month old son. There have been so many Wii accidents being reported with the wire and what not, and YouTube is maxed out with those videos. This was a funny one.

RC Car Racing

I started watching all these RC Car racing and drifting videos on youtube and felt like a kid all over again. I am hooked. I need to get one of these again. Now that I have a son who understands what a car is, I think I may have just the excuse to order one of those cool ones from Korea.
