To be quirky, here's B first:

It's a down and dirty little walk-through, featuring a slightly more polished menu and a new launcher bar in the corner.

The second bit is a rumor regarding Android 2.0. It might be headed to T-Mobile, you see, on the T-Mobile G1. Further unconfirmed reports state it might actually be version 2.1 (Google Nexus One type stuff!). CES is coming soon. We expect more then, but possibly sooner. This is the Internet after all. Total sieve. [Mobile Tech World via Engadget and AndroidSPIN]

The bit came during SNL last night, and like all good jokes, was funny because it's true.

As an iPhone user, I definitely chuckled a bit, before I returned to weeping silently in a corner as my phone tried to make an outgoing call from the greater Boston area without success. Must be the storm. Must be. [YouTube via Engadget]

Seriously, just start watching the first one if you don't believe me. And really, are you going to argue with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, who discovered this and said "Your life is about to change. This is astounding film making. Watch ALL of it."? I didn't think so. [YouTube via Damon Lindelof]

World's Greatest iPhone: The image of the iPhone above is obviously a shop, but YouTube, Weather and Safari still have me laughing months later. [igmur via Link]
Beta Version of BigDog Quadrupled Robot: Needless to say, the beta version of Boston Dynamics' BigDog was rather primitive. You have Peter Furia, David Fine and Beau Lewis of Seedwell Marketing to thank for this hilarious spoof. [Link]

Road Sign Hacking: It's illegal to hack a road sign, but the control boxes are rarely protected. Unfortunately, that makes pranking easy, which will lead people to ignore warnings when there is an actual zombie outbreak. [Link]

What Happens When You Bring a 22-Year Old Mac to a Genius Bar? Our own Adam Frucci finds out.

Squirrel Photo Crasher: Surely you recall seeing this image when it hit big a few months back. Many thought it was a fake, but it turns out that all the couple needed to score their 15-minutes was a Gorillapod, a camera and some luck. [Link]

HSN Wiimote Mishap: There have been plenty of videos of Wiimote-related incidents over the years, but it's even funnier when it happens on live television. [Kotaku]

Fart Machine Grinds Government to a Halt: A kid brings down city council meeting with mechanical farts. Amusing, but I bet this could be a serious weapon in a fillibuster. [Link]

Gold Medal BSOD: The dreaded Blue Screen of Death can strike anywhere—even at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. [Link]

Office Camouflage: I'm not sure what the hell they are saying, but the funny still gets across. [Link]

Forklift Catastrophe: It's only funny now because no one got hurt, but damn. Destroying $250,000 worth of vodka with a little fender bender is a sign that you need to update the shelving system in the warehouse. [Link]

Or maybe Lois is way smarter than all of us and has figured out Superman's real secret. Who knows. I think I'll just enjoy the Batman cameo at the end of the clip and not question this too much. [Thanks, Erik!]

Entitled (autumn), the video was shot, as I said, around Mount Fuji and other beautiful Japanese locales. The music is trippy, the visuals crisp, and the people move about very quickly as clouds play about their heads. Enjoy. [Vimeo - Thanks, Sam]

I guess with that price, odds are that it's probably the kitchen tool. Geez. Talk about a tease after all those borderline-NSFW puns.

Oh wait. It's a balloon, too? A man-shaped balloon with strange thumbs who is owned by 50 Cent? Maybe this video didn't make me understand the Internet after all.

If only Fox News started doing things like this, I think I'd finally be able to sit through Shepard Smith. [Thanks, OMG! Ponies!]

I mean, wasn't the original Verizon ad that started this off about the size of the 3G network? Now AT&T is countering with speed, which is great and all, so long as you don't live in any major U.S. cities like San Francisco, where those speeds are available, occasionally, like a fleeting wind (this according to the Gizmodo guys who live there, particularly Blam).

But a headless Luke Wilson is hi-larious, right? Enough to get consumers to vote with their hearts and not use their heads though? Not a chance. I'm siding with the Misfit Toys on this one.

It's an opinion. It could be off the mark. Let me know in the comments where you fall in this great big objectivity-free ad war between cell phone carriers. [Youtube via CNET]

With these two ads, Tarantino joins a long line of U.S. celebrities who have flown across the Pacific to do zany Japanese commercials. If you'll recall, Brad Pitt did a few Softbank spots not too long ago too. This one though, by far, is the most bat shit insane of them all. [CNET]

It was awkward to say the least, but as I said the ingenuity was there. A for effort, and all that, but I would have lost the cheerleaders during the "costume change." I was about to say they looked out of place, but then I stopped myself with a face palm because nothing could be out of place in a video like this.

The video was actually shot in late September, so I can only assume these guys are Japanese superstars by now. [YouTube via DesignBoom via Switched via Engadget]

Oh, Dr. Bunce, where have you been all my life, especially when I was dozing off in chem class? [Technology Review via Make]

Now, good on AT&T for fighting back with more ads and not more silly lawsuits and all, but the Verizon holiday ad lineup is pretty strong, and I don't see many Verizon customers losing sleep over Luke Wilson covering a giant coverage map with post cards.

As tipster Eric notes, AT&T selectively does not mention Edge, 3G or voice/data distinctions in this commercial, opting instead for vague blanket statements like "AT&T covers 97% of all Americans, that's over 300 million people."

To the AT&T customers I ask: Are you comforted by Luke Wilson?

Does Luke Wilson armed with some magnets beat the punch of Verizon's catchy slogan?

For comparison, or if you just happen to be unfamiliar with the original pop culture horror, you can have a listen to it here. [Brainstorm Tech]
