Ubisoft Releases Official ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ Reveal Trailer – And It’s Awesome

March 5, 2012Erik Kain

Okay, so I may have a problem with the assassin’s costume in ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ – but I still think the Revolutionary War setting was a smart move by Ubisoft. This trailer confirms both these views. The game looks gorgeous. I love the idea of racing across snowy boughs, high above the British troops. I […]

Watch The New Game Of Thrones Season Two ‘Seven Devils’ Trailer

March 5, 2012Erik Kain

April 1st is getting closer. Winter is coming. Season two, just judging by the trailers, is looking even better than the first. For those who are watching the show without reading the books, this should be especially true. The second book (and second season) focus a great deal more on battles – on the ‘clash […]

Many analysts predict the iPad 3 will be released, possibly alongside the TV box-top reboot. The March 7th event is being billed with the slogan: “We have something you really have to see.

Fake Headline Of The Day: ‘Brain-Dead Teen, Only Capable Of Rolling Eyes And Texting, To Be Euthanized’

February 24, 2012Erik Kain

The Onion has really grabbed the fake news bull by the horns over the past few years. In one short video, they manage to make fun of teenagers, Facebook, our obsession with phones, and get in a bit of a dig at the controversial euthanasia debate. You can watch more fake Onion news here. Follow […]

What A Crowdsourced Bike Looks Like

February 22, 2012Erik Kain

Jess Zimmerman explains: This combination bike and scooter is nominally the work of fancypants designer Philippe Starck, but that’s partly because “everyone in Bordeaux, France” doesn’t have as much label cachet. (More than “everyone in Normal, Illinois” or something, but still.) Before Starck got his hands on the brief for the bike, which will be […]

Why Microsoft Should Have Crowdsourced Their New Windows 8 Logo

February 22, 2012Erik Kain

The new Windows 8 logo has been surprisingly controversial. My own take on the new logo is here. Basically I said that it’s a pretty disappointing redesign – a washed-out attempt at elegant simplicity. 99designs.com has a contest up for enterprising designers who want to take a crack at the logo themselves. Here’s one I […]

The Future Of Touchscreen Technology

February 19, 2012Erik Kain

The thing I enjoy about the above concept video is that none of it is really that far-fetched. In fact, some of the innovations predicted in the above video are already coming true. That’s not surprising, given the video is a couple years old already. The concept is the product of TAT’s open innovation project. […]

Hilarious ‘Facebook Parenting’ Spoof

February 17, 2012Erik Kain

This is why I love the internet. Sure, the original sparked a lot of controversy and armchair parenting advice. But now we can forget all about that and pay attention to more important and hilarious things. This is the inevitable arms race that we get when we start shooting one another’s gadgets, I suppose. Violence […]

Video Of Dad Shooting Daughter’s Laptop Goes Viral – But Is It Child Abuse?

February 14, 2012Erik Kain

The above video – as of this writing – has had over 22 million views. In it, a father gives a lengthy monologue in response to a snotty Facebook post his daughter left about him and her mother. Sitting alone on a chair in the middle of a field, he tapes his own response. He […]
