Ever since his not-so-amicable split with NBC in January, Conan O’Brien took to the internet, not only to passive-aggressively rage against the machine, but to tout his next venture, Conan on TBS, which debuts on November 8, 2010. His newest venture is slightly more ambitious than a series of tweets. Starting at 1 pm ET, Conan takes to the web with a 24-hour live webcast event, dubbed “Coco Cam.” Coco Cam will provide a behind-the-scenes look at Team Coco HQ... Continue reading

Feeling secure today? A new report from AVG warns users against social networking sites and the potential for pages that compromise security. Through their research of social networking sites, AVG found 20,000 compromised pages in all, 11,701 of which are on Facebook. YouTube tallied 7,163 compromised pages. “The fact that we found almost 20,000 compromised web pages should make social media users sit up and take notice,” said Tony Anscombe, AVG’s head of free products. “And in particular, it is...

This is why I love YouTube. All hand-farting videos aside. As far as I know this is the only video documenting a fan’s reaction as it happened. If you didn’t already know, Armando Galarraga of the Detriot Tigers was screwed out of a perfect game thanks to a shoddy call by umpire Jim Joyce with two outs in the ninth inning. The real magic starts at about 3:15, but the whole video is worth watching for the build-up. This is... Continue reading

I’m not sure George Lucas understood the cultural significance Star Wars would have on the geek community. From rabid action figure collectors to entire religions, the world of Star Wars is nothing short of a phenomenon. Name any other film that has generated such a cultural furor. Nothing even comes close. So you can only imagine the geek boner I sprung when I came across this video. If you’ve never seen the films (how dare you), this vid does contain... Continue reading

Star Wars and Star Trek have been locked in an intrinsically geeky battle since the beginning of modern geeky times. I’ve always been way more of a Star Wars guy, as I’m sure you can clearly tell from just taking a fleeting glace at this very blog, but as a master of the science fiction arts, I have to admire both for their own respective merits. But what if the two worlds combined? Fan fiction writers have been merging the... Continue reading

You might not be able to imagine what the internet was like before the debut of YouTube, but there was a time, not too long ago, where internet video went hand in hand with awkward scripting and buggy plug-ins. YouTube changed all that. Five years ago today, the world was forever changed when the first video was uploaded to YouTube at 8:27 PM. The 19-second video titled “Me at the zoo” shows Jawed Karim, one of YouTube’s founders, talking about... Continue reading

In January 2009, a phenomenon began with the posting of David After Dentist onto YouTube by the DeVore family. Since then the original has gathered over 57 million views, making it one of the most popular videos ever published on the internet. Not until today did we get to see a little bit more of what was going on behind the scenes. David After Dentist 2 features more video from the same day, featuring never-before-seen footage of David right before... Continue reading

For those of you who prefer their memes kitteh-free, here’s that robotic mouth we posted about last week singing Trololo. Eduard Khil has got to be so jealous of this bot’s lip-syncing skills. Seriously, this robotic mouth and I need to get together and party. Link
