Olbermann on California's re-banning of gay marriageI applaud Mr. Olbermann for his strong words, and his perceptive empathy. To deny two people who love each other the chance to grow and test and formalize that love is absurd. In this day and age, I honestly thought we were past this nonsense, and the fact that it was California, a supposedly "libral" state that has voted to re-ban gay marriage

Charlie Chaplin speaks of peace, democracy, and brotherhood of manIn this clip from Charlie Chaplin's 1940 film The Great Dictator, his impassioned speech makes one wonder what kind of an actor he would be if he started today. There's clearly a lot more going on under the hood than simple physical comedy - it's a shame his flare for speaking went unrealized for so many years, for lack of sound in

Simon Pegg calls for a return to traditional Zombie valuesI loves me some Simon Pegg. Spaced was inspired. Shawn of the Dead was hilarious, and Hot Fuzz topped them both. It shouldn't surprise anyone who saw his freshman film, Shawn, that the man is a fan of zombies. More specifically, the breed of zombie that preceded the new Dawn of the Dead, and 28 Days later - the sort that stumbled into

Penny Arcade nails the E3 presentations(click for bigger image) Brilliant take - pretty accurate.MS kicked some serious ass, showing actual gameplay and announcing release dates(!) of their key upcoming exclusives (Fable II, GOW II), and of other big games (Rockband II, Guitar Hero World Tour, RE5), stole FFXIII exclusivity, and announced a better dashboard with more features.

A music video so bad, your head will explode.If you can listen to this song for more than 45 seconds, you're a stronger person than me. Its just heinous, like a carnival song gone horribly wrong. Its almost like the musicians are conspiring to create the worst music imaginable, by (doubtless) ingesting very strong drugs and abandoning any semblance of coordination. Truly a remarkable feat... and

Free will - reality or illusion?Put a strong point in the illusion column. Scientists, using MRI machines on people making up their minds about a decision, have been able to detect a decision forming in a person's brain a full seven seconds before they even know they've made it.

Magic revealed: how to break a man into three partsI'm of two minds when it comes to revealing how to do magic tricks. On the one hand, it serves to completely ruin the trick in the future - once the magic is shown to be a minor trick, so simple that anyone could do with a bit of practice, the fun of magic seems to go right out the window.On the other hand, the argument goes, only by revealing

Most of the tracks are unique in style and pace. Some will be club hits, others ('pretty please
