Well not exactly water, but liquid.

From their YouTube.com video description:

They filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch and water made on a concrete mixer truck. It becomes a non-Newtonian fluid. When stress is applied to the liquid it exhibits properties of a solid.

All I need is a mixer truck and millions of pounds of corn starch. Anyone up for a science project with me?

We all love bubble wrap. Why? Because it makes fun sounds when you pop it of course, so in keeping with the theme of bubble wrap and fun popping sounds, I bring you this glorious 4 minute video of a guy demonstrating 13 exciting techniques to pop bubble wrap.

A few of my favorites are “Bubble Mummy Masochism”, “POParty Trick” and “Pop your feelings Luke” which is a Star Wars tribute.

After watching the video, be sure to let me know your favorite popping methods in the comments and if you have some that weren’t represented in the video, share those too.

Yay bubble wrap!

Did you catch it? FOOM! Muhahahaha!!!

Silent interpretation at its best.

The video was made by MitchellRose.com with BodyVox dance company.

Just watch it already. Its funny.

I better file this under “just because I can.” If you’re wondering where the unused (for a good reason) Dream Scene features found in Windows Vista went when Windows 7 came to the scene, well, it’s dead, Jim.

If you’re looking for a way to integrate video in your desktop, you can try this one hack, with a little help from everyone’s favorite open-source media player, VLC. This isn’t going to help you with productivity, but why the hell not?

If you go to VLC’s preferences and go to the Video button, and you can choose the output type. Choose DirectX video output. You will need to restart VLC, and then you can choose “DirectX Wallpaper” under Video in the toolbar.

Here’s how it works, from Lifehacker:

Not surprisingly, selecting it overlays the video on your desktop so you can watch it full-screen, while you do work on top of it. While some of you might be able to minimize VLC entirely and still watch the movie, I found that took away the video entirely—so I just resized the VLC window really small and stuck it in the corner of my screen. Surprisingly, too, it didn’t bog down my system at all. Everything ran quite smoothly. Note, though, that you might need to re-apply your old desktop wallpaper when you’re finished.

Now I can’t imagine myself using this hack, since I have the attention span of a kid who’s had three glassfuls of sugar, but if you can take a little distraction and still be productive, why the heck not, try this out!

The decision of Walgreens to setup kiosks that will allow consumers to make legitimate copies of DVDs through a system that is also designed to discourage piracy is a welcome one, in my opinion.

Changes in how copy protection laws impact on DVDs have made this “experiment” viable and is encouraging not only Walgreens but also other retailers as well to allow consumers to make copies of DVDs in their stores.

This is a win-win situation for both consumers and for movie studios. Burning copies means cheaper costs, while studios also get a cut of the revenues generated for the services — and they don’t even have to spend on manufacturing and shipping costs.

The idea is already generating a lot of buzz and many people are hoping that this is going to become a success. I hope that this is going to become an important step towards the right direction.

Or just one more disappointment. The movie scares me. I grew up with the Transformers!
Hopefully the memories won’t be ruined by the movie.

But the footage still is very impressive.

The amount of the lawsuit: $1 billion in damages. Yikes!!

The lawsuit accuses Google and YouTube of “massive intentional copyright infringement” of Viacom’s entertainment assets and seeks an injunction against further violations.

According to the complaint filed by Viacom, almost 160,000 unauthorized clips of Viacom’s programming have been available on YouTube and that these clips had been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.

Check out the Viacom press release for more details.

Soon you may be able to witness the final send off without traveling any farther than your computer.

An undertaker in County Down, Northern Ireland is offering mourners the ability to stream live feeds of funerals online.

The S. Clarke and Sons funeral home offers a new option to the bereaved: live video of the departed’s final journey.

Friends and family who cannot attend the ceremony personally are given access to the feed through a private website, ID and password.

Yes, that’s right, they’re offering streaming death 2.0 web services.

Cameras and microphones are installed throughout the church, giving the viewer as complete an experience as if they were there in person.

The ceremony can also be recorded to the viewer’s PC and saved for later viewing.

What’s next? Deathcasts?
