YouTube Hits: 'Windows 95 sucks' music video
This is my new favourite video, even if it *is* about how lame Windows 95 is. We all know that – there’s a reason why Windows 98 was created!
Similar to the Here Comes Another Web 2.0 Bubble video, some clever chap with too much time on his hands has taken a hit song from the Rolling Stones, and turned it into a song all about Windows…
YouTube Hits: Jesus Punch Kung-fu!
Remember Monkey? Add a sachet of Jesus, a dollop of really cringe-worthy subtitling, and 250kg of radical kung-fu moves to the mixture, bake it for 36 seconds in YouTube, and voila! Jesus Punch Kung-fu!
Nigella is scribbling….
RIP Grange Hill: Here's 10 YouTube clips to say goodbye
Those bastards at the BBC! They've cancelled Grange Hill! How could they? Even though nobody who's eagerly joining the 'Save Grange Hill' Facebook groups has actually watched it in the last, ooh, ten years. Anyway, with those rose-tinted glasses firmly affixed, it's time for a trip down memory lane with ten of the best classic Grange Hill clips on YouTube. Starting with…
YouTube Hit: Watch Led Zeppelin's comeback gig
Well, some of it, anyway. Look, there's no tech angle here other than the fact that someone's shot footage of Led Zep on stage last night and posted it to YouTube. But hell, that's good enough for me. Watch them play Stairway To Heaven, and indulge in a spot of desk-based air guitaring. That's not a euphemism.
YouTube Hits: Here comes another web 2.0 bubble
Oh noes, not another video about web 2.0! I hear you, believe me, and that was my initial thought too. But upon hearing the catchy web 2.0-ified lyrics to We Didn’t Start The Fire by Billy Joel, you’re sold.
Watch his video, and watch…
Massive NES controller, demands loving hands of BFG, likes moonlit walks on beaches…
The Nintendo mods are flying thick and fast, with a huge NES controller containing the console inside accompanying the tempting Familator we saw earlier.
Take a look above for…
YouTube Hits: Electric guitar with built-in laptop
The headline says it all: someone's spliced a laptop with an electric guitar, although strangely NOT so they can play Football Manager while on-stage. Instead, it's to have all manner of cool visual effects while kerranging away on the strings.
YouTube Hits: Steampunk Star Trek
What if Star Trek had been made 100 years ago? That's the question answered in this YouTube video, to joyful effect. Movie studios, sign this up for a proper film, it's genius!
YouTube Hit: Wonderbra spoofs the Cadbury's Gorilla advert
Y'know that advert with the gorilla playing drums along to Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight'? Genius, innit. Even if the joke's wearing a bit thin now after 1,700 airings on TV. If only someone would make an amusing spoof, except with a woman in her bra instead of a hairy gorilla…
Gain some geek cred this Halloween, and dress like an iPhone
Still looking for a geektacular costume to wear this Wednesday for Halloween? Quicksticks, call in sick at work for the next few days, so you have time to make what is bound to be the most marvelled-at costume at whatever party you attend.
Yes, it’s an iPhone costume, which has been created by hooked up an LCD TV to a video iPod, with the case made…
