Spoof Windows TV Advert Video | Microsoft Parody – Windows 7 Was Everybody’s Idea

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 10:41 AM PST

Microsoft has scored a definite victory with its latest operating system, Windows 7. It’s everything Vista was not, and much more up-to-date and user-friendly than the now-aging Windows XP.

But that doesn’t mean it cannot be parodied, especially with the adverts for Windows 7 being, well, a little crap.

The adverts follow ordinary people (allegedly) who had an idea of what they wanted to see in a computer and then show how that feature became part of the Windows 7 OS.

This spoof version does exactly the same thing, except the features people waned to see on Windows 7 range from the sublime to the ridiculous. The journey is funny to watch and the final version of the Windows 7-based PC is brilliant. I want one!

Chile Earthquake Video | Magnitude 8.8 Quake Near Concepcion Could Mean Tsunami

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 05:38 AM PST

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a huge earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter Scale hit Chile near the port town of Concepcion. The epicenter also wasn’t far away from the capital of Santiago.

At least 64 people are known to have died, and there are now fears of aftershocks to come and the possibility of one of these causing a tsunami.

Although this is a powerful earthquake and one which has killed several dozen people, this is nowhere near as bad as the Haiti earthquake from a few weeks ago.

Not only was the earthquake spread out over a longer fault-line, meaning less power being dissipated in one spot, but the buildings and infrastructure are more solid in Chile.

Chile is also much more able to cope with the aftermath of such a quake.

Funny Dogs Go Crazy For Law & Order (Video) | Theme Song With Hidden Canine Powers

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:08 PM PST

Apparently the Law and Order theme song has a certain frequency in it that makes most dogs go crazy.

Here’s a compilation of a dozen or so pets doing just that.

Law and Order has been on the air for years and, because I’m not a pet owner, I never noticed this unique trait about the show. It really makes me wonder what other shows unintentionally have this effect on dogs.

It seems like it doesn’t even matter if the theme song is being played from the TV or the computer- the reaction is the same. Surely some of these dogs resent the show as much as I do. Perhaps the barking is a complaint?

A Nightmare on Elm Street Trailer Video | Classic Horror Movie Gets a Remake

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:07 PM PST

The remake of the classic 80s horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street is almost upon us. This trailer gives us a sneak peek at what’s in store.

I must admit, I’m really easily scared but this gave me the chills. And it’s not just the thought of Michael Bay producing another film that frightens me. Then again, hardened horror fans may not be as impressed.

Hollywood may not be very original these days, but at least this one seems to be a decent remake. By focusing on those creepy dream sequences, always the greatest hook of the series, this could provide a nice contrast to the typical slasher flicks we see.

You can see A Nightmare on Elm Street when it hits cinemas on April 30 … if you dare.

Tonight Show With Jay Leno Video Advert | Music Changed To Better Suit The Mood

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 11:31 AM PST

This year began with an almighty mess at NBC as the U.S. network decided to backtrack on switching Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien around in the schedules after just eight months of the new order being put in place.

The upshot is that O’Brien has left the network completely, while Leno is returning to The Tonight Show from Monday (March 1).

This video shows the NBC promo for Leno’s return to the 11.35pm slot. Except for one thing. Instead of Get Back by The Beatles playing over the top, Creep by Radiohead provides the soundtrack. And it fits much better.

I don’t really care who hosts The Tonight Show, but Leno has clearly behaved badly through the whole thing. And this promo is no exception. Could he have pulled a more smug face than that? The man clearly has no scruples.
