The Beetroots have done it again with another great video.

This time with Italian director Jacopo Rondinelli. ‘Butter’ is just an amazing track and the video is a perfect fit. You gotta love the ending.

Chris Hedges did.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author, and tech-pessimist, recently gave a lecture at the University of Mississippi about the decline of newspapers.

If you ask me, Mozilla couldn’t have picked a better name for their new experimental web-based IDE.

The award for best comedy sketch goes to… The Lonely Island.

Slumdog Millionare star Dev Patel has replaced Jesse McCartney (yes, the singer) in the role of Prince Zuko in M. Night’s upcoming The Last Airbender film adaptation.

Future firebending prince, Dev Patel

Talk about great news! I still think Slumdog Millionare was an overhyped film, but I can appreciate this guys acting skill. I think he’ll bring a lot to the Avatar films.

Yes, things are looking good for this project.

Hulu gives the latest Lonely Island song a special warning for being hilarious. May not be suitable for those without a sense of humor.

Of course you do.
