Alison Brie, the gorgeous actress that somehow juggles Community and Mad Men without creating a black hole in the Internet, is a pretty funny fellow. Oh and she's also really, really pretty. But funny! But pretty. Anyways, she was tasked at recreating the faces of popular internet memes (think grumpy cat and overly attached girlfriend) with her own facial expressions and her effort is pretty admirable. Plus, it's absolutely adorable. [HyperVocal] Read More >>

Still on the hunt for an alternative to Google's soon-to-be-dead Reader? Head on over to StaRSS, which displays any feed as if it were the epic opening crawl of a Star Wars film. It's not as functional as Google Reader, and it will most definitely get tiresome quickly, but it includes John Williams' iconic Star Wars theme so it's not entirely useless. May the foRSS be with you. [StaRSS via TAXI] Read More >>

Forget the genocide, the war on fleshbots skinjobs, and the whole struggling to survive thing. What if Battlestar Galactica was just about mates living in an apartment in space. Oh the wacky tomfoolery that could be had. It really does work sickeningly well. [YouTube via DigitalSpy via io9] Read More >>
At this point, the hi-fi stereo market is inundated with enough high quality, pristine-gut-bearing machines that it makes it nearly impossible to draw distinctions between different models' reviews, so you might as well toss 'em—they're worthless! Because one industrious young (sounding) knob turner has taken care of the only spec that matters anymore: welcome to KnobFeel. Read More >>

You have a lot of work to do. You're on a deadline. You're stressing out because people are constantly dropping by your desk saying hi, how you're doing because you're in a computer lab. You need to block everybody out. What do you do? Slap on some headphones and tape this sign onto your back. That should do the trick. You can work without any interruption now. Read More >>
Let's face it, for some gamers, going to a party is harder than playing a video game. And for partiers, playing video games is harder than partying. So what if we combined the two worlds and made a video game just for partying? It'd be a lot tougher than you think. Balancing getting drunk, meeting people, hanging with your friends, finding someone to hook up with and having a good time... without making mistakes. Read More >>
Why, yes, that is Sergey Brin driving around in a pink zero-emission Batmobile. Apparently that's what the crew of Google's X Lab get up to on April Fools, pimping the boss' £50,000-plus electric Tesla Model S. Rumour has it that he quite likes it too. Oh how the other half live. [Google+, Twitter, Brian Li via 9to5Google] Read More >>
You know all the social networks we use? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, hell even LinkedIn and everything else? They're all just replacing old stuff we used to do by ourselves at our desks. Twitter would be Post-Its, Skype would be a phone call, Foursquare is your globe and YouTube is the distracting window to the outside world. I rather like these old world translations to new social networks. Quick! Somebody find something that we used to use at our desks and create a social network. You'll make millions! Read More >>
Matt Gemmell, developer of Mac and iOS apps, created a little funny about tech companies and file menu commands. Using TextEdit's actual File menu, Gemmell used it to describe tech companies like Apple, Google, Samsung and more. My favourite might be describing HP as just a printing company. See the full picture here. [@MattGemmell] Read More >>
Facebook announced a phone! No, Facebook just announced Facebook Home. Facebook announced a home? No, it's just a home screen. Hmm... what would a real Facebook home actually look like? The guys at Joy of Tech wondered just that and created a comic that shows what Facebook distilled into a home would look like. Foundation built by Winklevii, open doors because no privacy, tunnels for "friends" to come in, Instagram cameras set up at the dinner table and so much more. Read More >>
By now, it's pretty much a fact that everyone uses Facebook (pipe down if you don't). It's also pretty much a fact that everyone watches Game of Thrones too (shut up if you don't). But what if the characters in Game of Thrones started using Facebook? Read More >>
Imagine a world where lightsabres are real. Totally awesome, yeah? All fun and games, right? Until a baby gets his hands on a lightsabre. When they start waving things around, you're at their mercy. Fingers, homes, human bodies, and anything else are just in the way. Read More >>

Somersby Cider has created a cheeky commercial that pokes fun of Apple product launches by imagining a world where buying cider is like getting a new iPhone. The Genius Bar would be a real bar and workers would talk about how many cores inside the apple, how many pits and how to use the "in to face" and dock the glass of cider. Read More >>

I know how it is. You look at me, and you think, “this guy’s got it made. This guy knows what’s going on.” Well, it’s an act. I have no idea what’s going on at any time. Most days I can barely remember to put on trousers. Read More >>
