The Sochi Olympics are in full swing, but Americans looking to watch the games online need a cable account to check out NBC’s coverage. There are ways around it though. Here’s what you’ll need to do.
I don’t know if it’s the The Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony or the slow twisting motion of the quadcopter’s descent, but I really love this first scene from Viktor Mirzoyan’s aerial video over a beige Washington D.C.
Clearly, you don’t have to be a military or airliner pilot
How to Build a PS4
Posted in: Today's ChiliCheck out this video entitled “How to Build a PS4″. I don’t know WTF is going on here really. It just seems to be some guy with an extreme food fetish tearing the place up and making love to his Xbox 360 with food. Thanks internet. Some things you just can’t un-see.
This video is a few months old, but since I had to see it, I am making sure that you guys get to see it too and be all like “WTF did I just watch?” too.
The dude puts raw meat, eggs, peaches, even urine all over his console. Yes, urine. Not kidding. This video will make you feel all weird and you will want to take a shower afterwards.

There have been quite a few pranks being played of late in an effort to scare the crap out of hapless passersby who are off in their own worlds. I particularly liked the prank with the devil baby for the flick Devil’s Due.
To promote one of my all-time favorite shows, The Walking Dead, AMC got a horde of walkers together and had them stand under one of those grates on the sidewalks of New York to scare the crap out of people. They probably also got to view some upskirts along the way. I can’t help but wonder how none of the zombies got their hands crushed.
When people walked by their hands poked out of the grate and scared the crap out of everyone. You need to watch the video for yourself, it is hilarious.

Back at CES in January, among all the fun and interesting new projects we investigated, one gadget stood out among the rest. That gadget was Urb-E.
And today, almost a month later, the Urb-E scooter is live on Indiegogo. As part of the campaign, the company is launching two separate models to consumers.
The first is the Urb-E commuter, which has three wheels instead of two, making for a more reliable and smooth ride. The Urb-E GP, on the other hand, only has two wheels and can thus make sharper turns, though both models have the same speed and power specifications.
The Urb-E folds up to the size of a rollerboard suitcase for easy handling, and weighs just under 30 pounds making it an easy last-leg vehicle for urban commuters.
Topping out at 15mph, the Urb-E can last up to 20 miles on a single charge. And to top it all off, the Urb-E is easily customizable thanks to inserts that fit within the frame, giving the Urb-E a nice accent color alongside the metal.
Plus, Urb-E comes with a compartment to charge your phone and check in on the charge of your Urb-E through a dedicated Urb-E app.
According to creator Grant Delgatti, Indiegogo felt like a better fit than Kickstarter for this type of product, which he believes will be highly appreciated by the Indiegogo community.
The Urb-E campaign has just begun, with a goal of $150k in 40 days. The lowest price point to secure an actual Urb-E is $1,599, for ultra-early adopters. However, Delgatti says that the final price will be closer to $1,799, with shipments expected to go out at the end of this summer.
If you’re interested in participating in the e-vehicle revolution, head on over to the Indiegogo campaign and check it out.
You’ve probably noticed a lot of Olympic athletes jamming out with their headphones on moments before competition. Is this just a little last-minute entertainment? Or are they listening to specially-designed playlists to give them some sort of competitive edge?
There’s a kind of stop-motion animation* called “vinylmation” right this minute, if you did not know, using vinyl toys as the models and just as simple a stop-motion technique as … Continue reading
