Remember that awesome Guitar Hero World Tour advert with Heidi Klum in her underwear rocking away Risky Business-style? Shame on you if you don’t, but here it is again, because it’s something one can never grow tired of watching:

Now one of the first commercials for the new Guitar Hero 5 is out, and it stars a whole line-up of Playboy Playmates alongside Hugh Hefner himself. The result is, once again, pretty nice:

This is what I call good advertising!

Still prefer the one with Heidi Klum, though. Which one is your favourite?

Here’s a warning to those who think that just because they have a Mac there’s no way a virus will get into their operating system. One of the newest tricks that malware-distributing websites are using is to detect which operating system you are running and then serve you a version of the virus specific for that OS.

One such example was demonstrated by Symantec a few days ago, where blogs offering free streaming online copies of movies that were just released in the theaters try to lure users into installing a fake video plug-in, which is in fact a Trojan:

Interestingly enough, the malicious site to which users are being redirected is serving malware for Windows as well as for Mac OS. This is based on the user-agent string of the browser. For a Windows browser agent it delivers a Trojan intended for the Windows operating system, and for a Mac OS browser agent it delivers a Trojan for the Mac operating system. The following image shows the same URL delivering a Win32 Executable for IE8, as well as a .dmg file for Safari4 when the user agent for the Mac OS is used.

So watch out, Mac-heads! You might need to start learning on how to avoid these traps like us PC users have been doing for a while, because your godly operating systems might not be enough…

Seriously, this is weird. A combination of LEGO, stop motion animation and 8-bit video games and music.

It is also amazing…

The song was written by Daniel Larsson and Tomas Redigh was the one spending 1500 hours (yes, 1500 hours!) moving legobricks and take photos of them.

The Google car is roaming around Portugal to add imagery to the Google Maps’ Street View. Needless to say, some unusual situations have been captured, and some people with too much time on their hands found them. And I’m glad they did, otherwise we wouldn’t have access to this:

And the best one so far features a monument by a famous Portuguese Sculptor – João Cutileiro – that makes the whole thing even funnier (it would be even better if the fountain was on…):

This last one was already removed from Google Maps…

Looking forward to getting some more of these
