October 12, 2010 1 Comment
Creepy Robert DeNiro look a like trolls an on-location live news broadcast by getting in the shot with literally every person that is on camera. Yes, this is a verified win.
Also, I added an oldie but a goodie at the bottom where a kid hacks into the news stations teleprompter and starts fucking with it. Hilarious
Dallas Police Brutality Caught on Tape
September 15, 2010 3 Comments
Dallas police have released the dashcam video that shows several officers beating a motorcycle driver at the end of a chase. The video was taken from inside several squad cars during the Sept. 5 incident.
Chief David Brown said Officers Kevin Randolph and Paul Bauer began pursuing 28-year-old Andrew Collins because he was revving his motorcycle on the sidewalk of MLK Boulevard and can be heard during the pursuit uttering “Pull up alongside him so I can beat the shit out of him,”.
The squad car hits the parked motorcycle, and then two officers begin to beat Collins with batons and their fists.
Officer Kevin Randolph has since been fired due to being on probation as he was a relatively new officer, and both officers will be charged with assault, tampering with or fabricating evidence and official oppression.
Officer Henry Walter Duetsch will also be charged with tampering with evidence as he turned the dash cam in one of the cars so that it would not tape the incident; he and Paul Bauer are on administrative leave while a further investigation is conducted.

Have you ever wondered what it’d look like if you were driving down the freeway and, suddenly, a car zoomed by you at 100 MPH before crashing in the most horrific way possible?
19-year-old Ohioan Brendan Edan, the driver of the Pontiac Firebird in the video—is currently listed in critical condition following the crash, which shut down i-675 in Montgomery County for six hours this morning/afternoon.
Genuine Psychopath Caught on Camera

From NYPost.com:
A British couple’s pet cat was dumped in a garbage can by a respectable-looking, middle-aged woman, shocking footage showed Monday. The bespectacled, grey-haired woman, who appears to be in her 50s, was filmed about 8pm local time Saturday walking along Stephanie and Darryl Mann’s street in Coventry, western England.
In the recording, the woman spots the Manns’ four-year-old rescue cat Lola and strokes it tenderly before suddenly grabbing her by the scruff of the neck and calmly dumping her in a trash can — then closes the lid and walks away.
The couple found Lola some 15 hours later when they heard the cat meowing in the receptacle.

From PBS.org:
“The film below is a space shuttle launch from the perspective of a solid rocket booster, one of the giant white rockets attached to the belly of the shuttle during its ascent. Thanks to a tiny camera and contact microphone attached its frame, you can ride along with it as it sends the shuttle into orbit, then free falls back to earth. There’s not much going on visually until the boosters separate at about the two-minute mark–but after that, it’s a film even Stanley Kubrick would be proud of.”
This also works really well with music. To easily achieve this you can use the Youtube Doubler…here’s mine haha: YoutubeDoubler (remember to turn the sound off on the rocket side right away)

From YouTube.com:
What should have been uneventful incident free coverage of a nonprofit group’s annual open meeting, which was held in a public facility. Turned violent when an individual described as a “soldier” for the organization attacked a Photojournalist from behind.
Unknown to those in the room, including the Photojournalist, another Journalist deployed his Kodak “Instamatic” pocket camera and proceeded to; in his own words “capture a crime in progress” on video. That video has been intercut with the video from the Photojournalist’s Betacam and is being made available on You Tube for the public to view.
After the attack members of the La Habra Heights Improvement Association claimed it was a “private meeting”. Even though two Journalists were asked to sign the guest sheet prior to the meeting and were never asked to leave. One Journalist was even offered cookies and lemonade. Responding law enforcement affirmed the public’s right to be there.
Charges are pending an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.

This dude totally shits bricks. You can safely assume that way more time has passed than what is being shown due to editing, so this looks like a legitimate freak out. To be honest, I don’t know how i would react to this…i would most likely just run out the door.
iPhone 4 Announced, Launching June 24 for $199 with New FaceTime Video Chat
June 7, 2010 1 Comment
From Engadget.com:
Apple has unveiled its new iPhone 4 after a couple wild, unprecedented months of leaks. Sure, it looks exactly like we expected it to (Steve compares it to an old Leica camera), with a glass front and back, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts, kids.
The stainless steel band that goes around the phone is an antenna system, while also providing the main structure of the phone, though it’s plugged into the same old GSM / UMTS radio you all know and love — there’s a reason they didn’t call it the iPhone 4G. There’s also of course that front facing camera we were all anticipating, a rear camera with LED flash, and a new high resolution display that doubles the pixels in each direction (960 x 640) for a 4X overall pixel count increase — Apple calls it a “Retina Display.” It’s rated at 326ppi, which Apple claims is beyond the human eye’s limit of distinction.
Under the hood is the A4 processor that runs the iPad. Despite the new engine (and the 25% thinner chassis), Apple managed to make the battery slightly larger, and the new handset is rated at 7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, and 40 hours of music. Oh, and that WiFi? It’s 802.11n now. The camera has been bumped to 5 megapixels, with 5X digital zoom and a “backside illuminated sensor,” which now can also record HD video at 720p / 30fps.
Last but certainly not least, that new front camera is enabled for video chat using the new “FaceTime” feature. It’s a WiFi-only (for now) video calling feature that works from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 with “no setup” involved, and can flip over to the rear camera if your grandparents get tired of your face.
The phone will be available in white or black, retailing at $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for 32GB. They go on sale June 24th, and AT&T will be giving some extra grace upgrade timing — up to six months early. The 3GS will be dropped to $99 and the 3G will disappear completely. Pre-orders start in a week, with 5 countries at launch (US, France, Germany, UK, Japan), with 18 more following in July. Apple will also be selling a first party case for $29, and a dock for the same price.
