Another fond childhood memory ruined by the internet.


Microsoft! now! provides! Yahoo! search!

bgtsyhoMicrosoft’s Bing now provide Yahoo! seach. Yahoo, a 1994 internet pioneer of search, has now agreed to stop researching search tech and start using Bing. Some say it’s a small deal, a Google deal rerun, and one says it’s a tar pit. As pointed out, nobody yet knows if Yahoo can choose another provider if it all goes wrong.


Blue Rats.

Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have been testing the possibility that a blue food dye found in Gatorade and blue M&Ms could assist in healing spinal cord injuries, and … oh who cares …. OMG blue rats U gotta look!

Dumbass.

Most parents, whether we listened to them or not, taught us not to play with fire, explosives, zombies and such… But they never warned us about mentos and coke. Click on “Continue Reading” for the video.

‘Heroes’ season four trailer: ‘Redemption’

http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/6555681001?isVid=1&publisherID=769341148

Here’s your first look at “Heroes” season four. This three-minute-plus trailer is slightly different than the version that screened at the “Heroes” Comic-Con panel on Saturday. The preview has scenes from the premiere and the next couple additional episodes. A character or two looks like they’re getting killed, so I’m tempted to shout “spoiler,” but, hey, it’s “Heroes,” right?

You’ll also see scenes of the dark carnival that’s gathering up heroes for some nefarious purpose and um … hmm … what else? Oh, yes: You meet Hayden Panettiere’s new lesbian love interest that producers doubtless hope will boost ratings. NBC cut their kiss that was in the Comic-Con edition of this trailer, guess they didn’t want to just give that away online. Snog the cheerleader, save the show?
