YouTube Video of the Day – Video Dating
A short animation about video dating with a weird bloke called Jake. An unsettling ease into your weekend.
Destroy your Mac laptop and use it to control Pong's paddles
You’d be forgiven for thinking Tech Digest had turned into a blog focussing purely on ways to hack the game Pong and play it through various mediums other than your arcade or Atari systems. No, we’re not renaming ourselves Pong Digest, much to the distress of these guys, sorry.
One such Pong-enthusiast has created a version of the game to run on his Mac laptop using the sudden motion sensors and microphone. People who smother their Macs in protective laptop cases or daren’t take it out into the wild should avoid this game, as it actually involves ohmygod tilting your laptop vigorously and potentially harming your laptop’s microphone by screaming into it. Tilting the laptop controls the direction of the paddle as you’d expect, and raising your voice, by say, screaming into the microphone, actually increases the size of the paddle.
Take a look at the video under the jump for some Apple/Pong-hybrid humour, and the link where you can actually download the game for yourself…

This is a great little rotoscoped animation created by Ben Arthur featuring his little brother in an unscripted piece about his former life. Sounds weird but it’s actually fantastic. Things like this is the very reason why YouTube is a great idea.

The best video on teh internets, ever. iPhone parody of the Pussycat Dolls' 'Dontcha'
Without a doubt, this video is what the internet was created for. Forget the Nintendo sixty-foooouuuur kid, the otters holding hands, heck, even the My Hands Are Bananas vids, this is the creme de la creme of online video.
Wait for the killer chorus – “dontcha wish your cellphone was hot like me, dontcha wish your keypad was button-free…dontcha wish your cellphone was raw like me, dontcha wish you spent more than half a gee”. Perfect. I will probably be watching this video thirteen times a day on average. Well, at least until someone creates a parody of Depeche Mode’s…

There's not much I can say about this video other than it's brilliant. Various forms of arts (from graffiti to pottery) all under one roof….

Peter Moore of Microsoft *really* knows how to launch the Halo 3 Xbox 360 console
When Peter Moore, Head of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division, launched the Halo 3 themed Xbox 360 console at E3 yesterday, I bet he didn’t expect long periods of silence and even laughter when doing so. Poor chap…
YouTube Video of the Day – Funny dogs
I was originally going to put up a video of something amusing and Harry Potter related in an attempt to be topical. Seeing as Harry Potter fans are the least amusing people on the planet (judging from my YouTube finds),…
YouTube Video of the Day – Drive your car with Google Earth
I have no doubt that you'll have seen classier animations than what you are about to view… but that shouldn't detract from the simple joys of this. Featuring little cars racing through the streets of London (I think), it has…
