Aug 2 2009 You Did It Wrong: Building Demolition Fail
This is a video of a building demolition in Turkey (arguably my favorite country on rye) gone horribly wrong. Now I'm not saying I could have done better, but I totally could have. With fireworks.
Thanks to Lord Tarl, who once imploded a building simply by looking at it funny (and secretly pushing the detonator).
Aug 5 2008 Eh: Multi-Touch 3D Hologram Display Is Here
This is a video of Obscura Digital demonstrating their multi-touch software with Musion's Eyeliner 3D holographic projector. It's pretty neat. But you know what? I'm getting sick and tired of all these multi-touch demos where it seems the extent of what you can so is shuffle through photos and resize them. BORING. Show me somebody building a LEGO castle or something. Anything -- anything besides "look, you can toss Polaroids around in space!" I mean I can do that in real life, and it would still suck. I want to see some VR applications. I need an escape damnit, and the drugs aren't working.

Thanks to Julian, who's anxiously awaiting holographic skin flicks.
Jan 9 2008 Dell XPS Goes Blue Screen Of Death At CES
Well Dell was showing off their latest and greatest at the CES, including some systems running Crysis, and lo and behold an XPS system goes down in a blaze of Blue Screen Of Death. The funny thing is nobody seemed to do anything about it. It definitely sat there long enough for the Techeblog reporter to take a bunch of pictures. That is just completely unacceptable on Dell's behalf. Do they not train the employees displaying their products at the show? If I was there and had a computer go Blue Screen on me somebody better dive on that bitch like it's a live grenade about to blow up the platoon.
Another up close picture after the jump, so you can read the screen.
