Summer has come to an end, and as a result, a lot of us will be spending a lot more time inside.

YouTube Face Blurring Tool Now Available
Privacy is one of the most pressing issues in today’s insanely public world. With Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all sorts of other platforms where anyone can share anything, it is rather understandable that some people go to great lengths to protect their privacy.

Little Drummer Boy Brought to You by a Robot and a Scanner
Nope. You won’t see the little drummer boy that you are used to seeing around this time of the year in that picture. You know how some technophobes (and even technophiles) say that people will one day be replaced by machines? Well, this is a great example of how that is totally possible.
YouTube user bd594 apparently had some time on his hands, so he decided to tinker around with an HP scanner – the flatbed kind, obviously, a snare drum, and some other electronic items. His masterpiece? A two-gadget band rendering its own version of the Little Drummer Boy. Yes, that ubiquitous piece of Christmas music that I am pretty sure you have gotten enough of by this time.

Fruit Ninja the Movie Trailer
Fruit Ninja is one of those games that gets people hooked for one reason or another. Even those who do not normally like playing video games can easily find themselves getting all excited about playing Fruit Ninja on their iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. Of course, we cannot discount the Android users who also have Fruit Ninja on their devices.
The game was first released in April of 2010 for the iPod Touch, but it has quickly spread since then. There is no doubt that it is now one of the most popular casual games there are. I have to say, though, that Fruit Ninja is definitely not on the same level as Angry Birds. I think that that game is just difficult to surpass. Still, just because Fruit Ninja is not that popular doesn’t mean it can’t have its own movie, right? And since it’s all about ninjas, a movie about the game just might be better than the Angry Birds movie. [Read more…] about Fruit Ninja the Movie Trailer
