Google Chrome - Is It Really Ballin'?

Well...atleast its fast...hopefully the beta will be shorter than Gmail's

I am one of millions that just had to sign up for the Google Chrome Beta. Let me tell you for a solid one and a half days I was very impressed by the speed.  One of the features that attracted me was the fact that none of your tabs that you'd normally have open in Mozilla or IE 'don't compete'. Meaning if one tab is loading a lot of data this bears no weight on the rest of the tabs you have open.  As of a day ago I have definitly seen this feature shot down.  But hey! It's a beta right?  Well...did you know Google's G-mail was in beta until this year? Yea...awesome.

It gets worse after the break...

Currently Playing: Beyond Good & Evil PS2

This Is A Slide From The 'Current Gen' BGE...I'm Psyched!

Seeing as I just purchased a PS2 last year I'm throughly playing through all the games I missed.  At times its a chore [especially with Deus Ex], but with this game I have to say its been such a breeze.  After I get off of work I pop in the disc do a mission or two, or sometimes I'll race or play a quick sidequest.  I'm about halfway through and I really don't want it to end. Considering I've been very busy with my various jobs it has taken me about a month to make it this far. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

After the jump yet another cosplayer...

Kids of New 90210 Playing Fake Xbox Game...Hey wait is that "Michael" From The Wire?!

Perusing the Kotaku, I found myself with a specific hankering for a newly 'revitalized' 90's show with a hype Next Gen spin.  Naturally the New 90210 show on the CW was the first thing to pop in to my little nugget of a brain. What I was expecting with this clip was for the two actors to be playing this CLEARLY FAKE Xbox 360 game. The kids should be exclaiming such catchy quotes as 'Freakin' Sweet' and 'You Sank My Battleship', but instead of that I get two child actors erratically pressing buttons [come one...at least fake it like you play it semi-frequently] and Tristan Wilds of The Wire fame 'eating his opponents head'.  Well good to see the kid working and not so angry and brooding a la his previous outstanding performance of The Wire.

ahh he's a good kid isn't he?

PAX '08 - Felicia Day "The Guild" Interview

Day Being Weirded Out By The Power Of Fellow Nerds

The lady that seems to be taking over the geek-net by storm. Felicia Day has an interview with Ross Miller of Joystiq at this years PAX. If you haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog you should give it a gander, it is definitely worth a watch. Although I may not be the hugest fan of the show, I am interested in Day's newest venture in The Guild where she has a show where the characters are 'regular people' who play in a live action role-playing game [Wiki: Larping].

Rapping About The "Earth Destroyer" (or Large Hardron Collider)

You know...I really am afraid for my life...no seriously...i just peedSpeaking as someone who is working on a personal invention, that and i'm a huge nerdwad when it comes to particle collisions and what not. The Large Hadron Collider is something i've been keeping my eye on since early this spring. True, there is a chance that the Earth can inherit stranglets produce mini-black holes in the very lab where this is being tested [the CERN lab]. There are a number of pros and cons and I feel the more I try to explain this truly 'great moment' in science; the more it sounds like it could be the end of us all.  Its hard to communicate to people that we could find out the inner workings of gravity or even gain ground on the "Big Bang Theory". 

But then there is a young lady named Kate McAlpine from Michigan who writes about science regularly. She made a rap about the LHC and initially when I heard this, I put two and two together pretty hastily. Nerd Science Journalist + Rap = TERRIBLE. Boy was I wrong...peep the video for yourself after the jump.

Bboy Corner - Battle Born vs Battle Born/Knuckleheads/Rocksteady

A good group of blokes who just seem to be popping up everywhere [as far as bboy events].  The clip above is a Prelminary battle of half of Battle Born 1 vs. Transitions Crew [another good crew comming up as well.

After the jump you'll see Battle Born battle the legendary Rocksteady Crew [in this case however, these are members from West Coast Rocksteady who are still a little new, but hungry].  They have to battle the other half of their crew to advance to the finals only to battle their state rivals in Knuckleheads Crew. A pretty tall order.

I'll try to put them in chronological order.

[Edit: I apologize for the sound the dj and emcee mic were up waaay to high so be advised to turn your speakers down before playing!]

Are We Really Evolving? - Teddy Bear Phones

According to the image above you'd probably think that crazy ole Japan and their crazy ole women are doing something all 'karayzay' again on the technology front.  Barring this being limited to women [guys like bears too...err...pause] the cuddle and cute concept phone known only as 'Kuma Phone' made by Willcom stole the show of the Good Design Expo this weekend. Like most phones it has: a vibrate feature, custom sounds for incoming calls, and all calls can be answered or ended by merely pressing the tail. [Take that cuteoverload.com!]
