This video features a street performer with a skeleton puppet. The guy holds the puppet strings and dances the skeleton puppet around for the crowd. I think the skeleton is dancing around to Elvis music in the background (it seemed that way from the comments section on the video). The guy also has a bag people are throwing money into. Near the end the skeleton sits down in his own little throne chair. The people that just stand there with a ign probably make more than this guy per day though.
According the the caption for this photo the CEO of YouTube was at a WSJ event in Carlsbad and was sitting at the same table with Martha Stewart. Apparently Martha went up to some guy and had him take his shirt off and then proceeded to show him how to fold it in one move. There is an old video floating around the net on how to fold a t-shirt in one move (we've posted it before). I find it rather strange that you'd go up to someone, have them take off their shirt, and teach them how to fold it. Did it count as community service?
So if you live in a cave and you haven't seen the vidoes of mentos being dropped into bottles of Diet Pepsi this is a spoof of those videos. The woman takes a bottle of Diet Pepsi and 'drinks' it. At this point she eats a whole pack of mentos and then jumps up and down to mix the two togather. You'll have to watch the end of the video to see what happens to her afterward. Obviously this video is a spoof and most if not all of the Diet Pepsi spills down onto the ground and she doesn't really eat the mentos either.
Apparently in this video there is some kind of speaker hooked up to this black platform. On top of the platform is a bunch of white rice. The speaker starts at a low pitch whining sound and each different change in pitch of the whine causes the black platform to resonate at a difference frequency (or at least that is my guess as to what is going on). The different resonance causes the rice to form different patterns on top of the black platform. This reminds me of the video of the corn starch being vibrated at a high frequency.
Here is a strange video for the VW Golf which was probably shown in the UK as I don't see it working so well in the US. The commercial pokes fun at the 'Pimp My Ride' reality TV shows by 'un-pimping' the guys car. The guy has a suped up cheap car with a big spoiler and wild paint job. The engineer guy presses a button to unpimp the car and a crate falls from the ceiling completely flattening the suped up car. The sides fall and the VW Golf (what kind of name for a car is that?) is in the suped up car's place. And how exactly is this suppost to make me want to buy this car again?
So here is a video of a demonstration in Japan showing a human like 'android'. The android stays sitting in the chair the whole time so I'll wager they still need to work on that whole walking thing. The actual face looks pretty real but I noticed they covered up the hands with gloves because they probably made it look fake. The android moves around but you can tell the motions are driven by servos as they are hardly smooth to say the least. The commentary in the video is all in Japanese so good luck with that. Maybe they need to pair up with the company working on that robotic pack mule for the US Army.
So here is a video from Mexico of a guy doing a spoon bending illusion. He shows the camera that the spoon is just a regular spoon and then he holds it in his fingers while he allegedly bends the spoon with his mind. After he his done the spoon is completely bent back on itself at a 90 degree angle. The issue with the video though is that he has his fingers around the point where the spoon is be could be bending the spoon with his finger or the spoon is already bent and just moving back into it's original shape. Also near the end he moves the spoon out of the camera view where he could have switched it. Real or fake?
We're one step closer to a Futurama future! This video has a group of scientists from Hubo Labs working on a robot version of Einstein. I'm not sure what their overall goal with the project is other than maybe creating a robot tour guide or robot grade school history/science lesson. The head of the robot is a human shaped latex head of Einstein while the rest of the robot is your generic Japanese looking robot. The head and face of Einstein has facial expressions and 'talks' (though I assume it is pre-recorded). The head itself looks pretty good but it would have probably looked better had it been on a human sized body and not a three foot tall robot body.
