Terrifying Tower Climbing Video
This video shows the view of a maintenance worker while he’s climbing up a 1768 foot transmission tower. I dare you all to try and watch it till the end. Edit: Sorry folks, had to remove the video at the request of the people who own the footage. They will apparently put it back up [...]
HD copy protection may have been busted
What’s purported to be the “master key” that protects Blu-ray and other HD content has been published online. But even if it is genuine, it’s debatable how much practical difference there will be.

New Norton Ad Campaign Features The Hoff and Dolph Lundgren
I haven’t used Norton security products for home use in years (Anyone here knows if they improved recently?), but even though if I’m not a big fan, I have to admit that the company’s last marketing campaign made me crack a smile. This week, following the same formula as their previous ads, Symantec released 2 [...]
Chattanooga Choo-Choos to Gigabit Broadband
The city of Chattanooga has beaten Google to provide a 1 gigabit broadband service. But while Google is planning to one day offer such services at rates comparable to “regular” broadband, the Chattanooga deal is available today for an eyewatering $350 per month.

Yep, those are all read Lego pieces, and it took the group about 1,500 hours over 8 months to complete the video. Enjoy!
