Dunno wether this is a joke or not, but its sure funny, and proves again the "white guys cant jump" theory perfectly. I think the commentary is in Dutch but Im not sure.

「VCはマフィアである」wwww
So there you have it: Forget all the nonsense about providing capital for growth and creating great companies. Today's venture capital is just an elaborate protection racket, making sure no one breaks your startup's virtual kneecaps. And the best part? It's completely legal.

「It's a well-established truth of today's Silicon Valley that startups don't really need venture capital. The triple-A business model of "Ajax, AdSense, and arrogance" provides most consumer Web startups with enough revenues, courtesy Google's (GOOG) advertising network, to get by.」と、のっけからスパイス過剰にトバしまくり。シリコンバレーにおけるVCとstartupsとの蜜月関係の「秘密」を解き明かした痛快な記事wwwww
Neo-Mickey
Awesome re-imagining of Mickey Mouse by Matthew Cruickshank and Barry Baker. I'm not sure if Disney hired them to do this, but I betting Disney's lawyers are going to get this video tanked from YouTube in short order.

It is the highest transport bridge in the world, one of its support has height of 341 meter ― a little above, than Tour d'Eiffel, and all on 40 meters below, than Empire State Building. The bridge has been solemnly opened on December, 14th, 2004 and opened for movement on December, 16th, 2004.

Miracle baby comes back from the dead
After trying for 30 minutes to bring two-week-old Woody Lander back to life, doctors decided there was nothing more they could do and called in his parents to say their tearful farewells.
A nurse passed Woody to his heartbroken father and gently pulled a tube from his mouth so they could kiss him goodbye. It was then that the miracle happened. The lifeless baby suddenly coughed and moved. Nurses immediately grabbed Woody back, re-attached the tubes and lifesaving equipment and he came back to life in front of his astonished parents.

DMCA takedown notice for BackupHDDVD at SF.net
I just got a message from SourceForge informing me that they were issued a DMCA takedown notice for BackupHDDVD and have complied. I'm pretty sure BackupHDDVD doesn't violate much of anything so any info (NO legal advice) as to what exactly my options are would be much appreciated.

昨年末にHDDVDの暗号が破られてしまったのは記憶に新しいところであるが、MPAAがDigital Millennium Copyright Actを盾に「逆襲」を開始したらしい。
