We had the chance to do a hands-on with one of the most innovative gadgets we've seen this year: Sifteo's modular, digital gaming blocks. These tiny cubes sport touchscreen LCD displays, along with three-axis accelerometers, neighbor-sensing technology and wireless networking, to create a hybrid physical and digital gaming experience that was difficult to put down. While we've seen some concepts ...

Everything is remixed and reblogged to death these days, so we've got very little desire to see yet another OK Go video, Old Spice riff or Double Rainbow in 2011.

If you still think a server is someone who brings you your tea when you're taking-in a nice Earlybird special, boy have we got the video from you. It's called 'Surfing for Seniors,' and it's one of the more demeaning videos we've seen on the Internet.
