What do Skittles, Zombies and Augmented Reality have in common?
Find out in this video by Georgia Tech and Savannah College of Art and Design, who teamed up to build this sweet zombie videogame. Personally, If I wanted to shoot zombies in four dimensions, I'd start a zombie outbreak and do it in real life. Wake me up when they make a 5-D game.

One of Conan's lead writers calls up Tech Support in India, hits on the female support technician, and eventually goes to India with his computer to get support in person... All for simple pop-ups...
Apparently he hasn't heard of Norton, Mcafee or Kaspersky Anti-Virus software with popup blockers.

This is worth the 1 minute 53 seconds to view!
More details on the Analog Shutdown available on Wikipedia.
This just in... the analog shutdown has been extended.
CNN also covers this in: Senate OKs delay of digital TV transition, reporting that it will be delayed to June 12th, 2009 for a complete phase-out.
More and more networks will certainly be shutting down their analog service in the coming months, and time will tell if the "firm" deadline set to June 12th, 2009 for all US broadcasters to have switched holds firm this time around.

History Channel Documentary Validates Chemtrails and Weather
The words "told ya so" come to mind... its pretty clear what's going on in our skies, all you need are eyes that work.
What's debatable is who's pulling the strings at the top, what's really in the trails and what those substances' subsequent effects are on cloud formation, rain consitency as well as air and water quality.
Yet another perfect example of technology which can both liberate and enslave.
Anyone else love to see an in-depth study of these and more?

Holographics + Augmented Reality = Cool
Ivan Tihienko has created a very impressive concept for how we can use the computer, without having to sit in front of it. He is envisioning a holographic projection system that place the projected image in front of us as we go about our business.
This is augmented reality taken to the extremes.
Take a look at how it works in the video below; including the ability to share the experience with other people, managing your email, GPS directions directly on the street, listening to music etc...
