GAAAAH, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. Because people are impatient and hate waiting for things (plus feel entitled and are all around jerkbags), a recent study has shown that people will start abandoning streaming videos if they take longer than two seconds to load. TWO SECONDS... / Continue →

Google created an artificial intelligence system with a staggering 16,000 processors and let the thing loose on the internet to learn on its own. And what did it learn? CATS. "The musical?" *stink-eye* The neural network taught itself to recognize cats, which, John Markoff... / Continue →

That's the problem: people don't wait until they have something WORTH posting. This is the first video ever uploaded to Youtube by one of the website's co-founders on April 23, 1955 2005. It...is a giant turd. I really think it set a precedent for the 99.9% of videos on Yout... / Continue →

Note: Full-res version HERE because one digital distraction you don't need is cyborg eyeballs because yours popped out squinting too damn hard. This is Maslow's David McCandless' (damn bro, buy a McLighter or something, shit!) hierarchy of digital distractions. The higher on ... / Continue →

Note: Video is after the jump because the quality is so bad that it could actually make you sick. Musician and Youtube user Patrick Liddell uploaded a video of himself to Youtube, downloaded it, and uploaded the new version. Then he repeated the process 999 more times. The r... / Continue →

This is a video montage of 100 of Youtube's "greatest hits" in a scant 3:24. I recognized most of them, but there were some I hadn't seen before. And those, my friends, were the sucky ones. NOTE: It's best to stop after the Leroy Jenkins clip. It's all downhill from there. ... / Continue →

NOTE: Video possibly NSFW due to cussing (GD) a couple times. This post originally started as a tribute to Keyboard Cat, who I just found out passed away earlier this year (around May). But then I saw the play him off video featured above of a kid crying about a hockey game a... / Continue →
