Gorilla viewing glasses
Just like dogs and good people, Gorillas have been taught not to stare. Since a lot of humans are a bit retarded and spend time in animal-staring sanctuaries, we have spent our knowledge and unbelievable brain power to make pieces of cardboard that have pictures of eyes in them – and a hole we can [...]
The Facebook Etiquette
Due to a project we’re doing at the office, we’ve been talking about net etiquette, or netiquette as some smart-asses so funnily join it. I remember that we were actually educated about the topic when I was in school in the mid-nineties and people took the web quite somberly and seriously. Since the coming of [...]
The Beckham Terminator
Ad agencies, brand building, ooh, aah. I’d like to see the effect on business this advertising campaign has. David Beckham rubbing himself with a phone that looks like a, um, I don’t know – a lady shaver? Still, it doesn’t tell anything about the product, its price, when it’s coming out, what does it do [...]
The week on Varha.com April 13th to 19th
Oy vey, interesting week behind us again and here’s a collection of articles from Varha.com that have been very popular this week. Seems like people are more interested in the small, quick things, pictures and videos instead of the longer “articles” that you actually have to spend more than two minutes watching. Finland gets nuked [...]
The Hobbit movie not one, but two!
That’s right, all you Quenya-blabbering, pointy-eared, Balrog-yelling, dwarf-loving lunatics out there – The Hobbit will be two movies instead of one, and they’re coming out in 2011 and 2012. Hopefully before the Mayan end of the world. The movies are written and directed by, oh, I don’t know – fukn Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2, [...]
Know your memes
Memes are something we’ve all seen if we’ve been using the internet for anything more than e-mail. To be honest, most e-mail skits people receive are also memes, the very old ones in that. Thankfully Rocketboom has made understanding memes easier for us mortals with their video blog “Know your memes”. Their latest post is [...]
Real life Mirror’s edge
Mirror’s edge was a technical demo that was called a game that came out late last year. It showed a point of view approach to a woman, who was parkouring around high rises and otherwise scary locations. Now a guy called AZO has made a video of his real-life version of Mirror’s edge, although it’s [...]
Spam’s electric bill? $3 Billion USD
Antivirus and web security company McAfee commissioned a research project from ICF International to measure the ecological effect of spam e-mails. Of course, it’s all about the carbon footprint now and everybody is up to the challenge. Now if only we could have a company to sell us a software that kills sp… oh, yeah. [...]
Finland gets nuked by world
Yes, if someone or something that’s not Finnish by origin mentions anything about Finland, we will talk about it forever. At least our country was destroyed in South Park
BMW’s checkmate to Audi
This was going around in IRC yesterday and since I’ve already shown it to many people in the office, why not put it up here as well. I think this is not only a beautiful ad, it is very innovative and has humor. Also, I have to say that the BMW ad is better since [...]
