Web Site Story

without comments

Many people already know the tunes from West Side Story (an excellent Broadway musical with music by Leonard Bernstein), notably “Tonight”. The folks at CollegeHumor have adapted it to make yet another creative and awesome video, entitled “Web Site Story” — applying the music of back then to the technology of today.

Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Flash video.

Here’s a clip from the movie adaptation of West Side Story featuring the song “Tonight”.

Dell Studio One 19

without comments

This looks like an iMac clone with touch. Dell is really innovating at this time — by ‘innovating’, I mean taking competitors’ ideas and emulating them. In this case, they’ve combined the all-in-one concept of the iMac and the touch screen capabilities of the HP TouchSmart series, at a lower price than either.

Pretty cool promo video:
