This is Walter 2.0, my latest Lego creation. He stands 16.25″ high, and is 10″ wide at his shoulders.
I built the first version last Christmas when my cousins were visiting, I have since found a few minutes to refine the design. The biggest thing I’ve changed is I’ve added a central nervous system 
What makes Walter so special, aside from the fact he can scare small children? Well for that you’ll have check out the video after the jump…
Hulu is set to go public tomorrow, during the course of the private beta they’ve added quite a bit of content from various networks and content partners… here’s the full list their content partners.
While this video isn’t so much a video as it is an audio track, it’s hilarious none the less.
If that Halo movie doesn’t come through for Microsoft, they always have Minesweeper…
Here’s a random fact for you, NBC is a division of General Electrics, who knew? Okay, I’m sure a lot of you, but I just found this out 37 seconds ago.
You read the news, right? You know all about the NBC vs. Apple spat that ended in NBC planning to offer their videos through Amazon.com (ick). Well, it seems in a new development NBC will be launching its own free download service, called NBC Direct, for viewers to download their shows for free. The downloads will feature a TV like experience, complete with commercials that cannot be skipped.
The service, which is set to go public in November will allow users to subscribe to NBC programs and have them delivered to their computers automatically after the program airs, however the file will expire one week after the show first airs. To add further insult to injury, NBC Direct will only be available to Windows users. Take that Apple!
Now correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t this stem from NBC waiting to charge users more per download? And now they’ll be offering them for free? Umm, okay? I realize they will probably make a bit of money off the built in commercials, but can that really compare to the money they made through their offerings on iTunes?
Walt Mossberg lays the smack down on Ubuntu.
I agree that Linux isn’t right for a lot of people, but some of his points are a bit off base. For instance his complaint about having to download codecs just to play an MP3 or a video, he states that these codecs are included in Windows and OS X, however, there are quite a few codecs for both operating systems that you have to manually download and install in order to play content encoded in that format. DivX and Xvid come to mind right off the bat, neither of those formats is supported natively in either Windows or OS X. Sure MP3 support is something you’d expect out of the box, but it’s not the end of the world.
It isn’t the greatest Lego video of all time, but it’s pretty funny.
A lot of you have no doubt already seen this clip countless times, but on the off chance you haven’t and would like to kill off a few spare braincells, here is Miss Teen USA 2007 - Ms. South Carolina attempting to answer a question.
