Internet Party 2: The MySpace Intervention

The original Internet Party was a pretty funny video, but I'd say that the sequel is even tighter in its execution. Watch your favorite websites—almost scarily apt in their personification—tell MySpace that it's time to stop. The actress playing IMDB is especially brilliant.

UPDATE: Autoplaying video tossed after the jump. Sorry about that.

Confessions of a Flickr Snoopr (Admit It, You're One Too)

My name is Addy and I'm a Flickrholic. I'm a window-licking voyeuse who's been pressing her nose up against the cold glass of the lives of utter strangers, snooping through their photostreams. And if you think I'm weird, take a peep through their curtains. Marvel at Polymorfo Perverso's rather delicious fetish portraits (one caption reads "your neck is so much fun") or Gizmodo's favorite tough man as meat-market mascot. If you're a Flickr snoopr like me, you know the giddy, naughty pleasure of it all. If you're not one, well, here's how to become one in a hurry. More »

Flickr Adds Videos Long Photos

As of last night, Flickr/Yahoo has finally bit the bullet and added video support to their service. A cynical response might be that they clearly would like to compete with YouTube. But when reading through the FAQ and examining the system's limitations, it seems that they really are sincere in supporting "long photo" as opposed to real videos. The kind that come from your cameras, not camcorders. More »

Mac With 150 Apps Running Shows Teeny-Weeny Dock, Exposé Windows

Ever wondered what Mac Dock and Exposé look like with 150 apps running? Well, wonder no more, friend. Wonder no more. Rest assured, however, everything gets ludicrously tiny. Now, we're not too sure who'd be using 150 apps simultaneously, except for maybe that dude at the end of The Matrix who manages to confuse the crap out of everyone. Damn, he sure was crazy. Anyway, the sight is quite impressive nonetheless, so jump in for a screen shot. More »

Mock-Up Solves MBA's Port-Based Woes

The Macbook Air sure is a fine piece of Cupertino craftsmanship, but the lack of useful input ports is a complete downer on the slinky sexy soiree. Fret not, Flickr user Nybras.Rodrigo has conjured up a fantastic solution. He's confident in his solution, and so are we. Check it out above. There are all the ports you'll ever need; USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, Ethernet, DVI output, Superdrive, iPod Shuffle and even a floppy drive. A floppy disk drive! How did we all miss that one? Kudos, Nybras, you're one up on everyone. [Flickr]

Man Fits Home-Made Gaming System to IKEA Dining Table

Eric Gradman built his own MAME gaming system from a 15-inch LCD, Happ controls and an Ultimarc I-PAC, and fitted it into an extendable dining table that he bought from IKEA. "There's always someone who doesn't feel comfortable around large groups of people, and so he sits at the table playing video games," he says. The full photo-set is on Flickr, but you can see some of the pics in our gallery below. More »

Dude Legally Renames Himself Megatron

This is Seattle man Jason Megatron Burrows. He used to be known as Jason Michael Burrows, but on July 2, Jason went to the courthouse and stood before the judge, who "ordered and decreed" he change his name to honor his childhood hero, Megatron, thus joining Gizmodo's other friend Optimus Prime in the pantheon of crazy-ass Transformer fans.

Danger Zante: Another Flavor of Sidekick?

Here is a bit of interesting info regarding a possible new phone from the folks at Danger. A bored Sidekick fan by the name of Aaron Landry found pictures over at Flickr reportedly "taken by a Danger Zante." The next twist to the story is that the pictures were uploaded by Danger employees. All of the pictures supposed taken by the Danger Zante have been deleted from Flickr, but luckily Google kept the information. More »

SlickrFrame: Join In the Mass Picture Post!

Gizmodo reader Richard Felix put together a do-it-yourself digital picture frame that he built out of an old laptop display, and now he's asking everyone on the Internet to upload pictures to photo-sharing site Flickr so he can view them on this Wi-Fi-connected frame. All you need to do is upload any photo to your Flickr account (go ahead, sign up, it's free) and tag it "slickrframe." Then you'll be participating in this performance art/Web 3.0 experiment. More »

Flickr Camera Finder Helps Your Next Camera Purchase

If you're on the verge of deciding between two different, yet equally fine cameras, head over to Flickr's camera finder. After choosing the cameras you're picking between, Flickr will show you either the "most interesting" (or latest, portrait, macro, landscape, action, and recent) photos taken by that model. Of course, if you're a camera noob your shots won't turn out nearly as good as the pros whose shots are marked "most interesting", but it's a good comparison tool between devices. More »

Barack Obama Hops on the Web 2.0 Bandwagon

Remember in 2004 when Howard Dean discovered blogs and it "revolutionized" presidential campaigning? That was quaint. This time around, blogs are old hat and everyone is looking to use the internet to connect to you, the concerned and unapathetic voter. Prepare to get jaded and cynical. More »

Flickr Knows What Camera You're Using, Is Telling Everybody

Flickr, the popular photo sharing Web site bought out by Yahoo! some months ago, is now collecting and publishing the camera details of its users. Welcome to a Web 2.0 gold mine of data that marketing types will likely skeet over. The first few sets of data released indicate that Canon has a pretty good stranglehold over Flickr's users, with its EOS Digital Rebel XT (omg my camera!) leading the pack. In the camera phone realm, the Sony Ericsson K750i is most popular, followed by the Nokia N70. More »

Cemetery 2.0 Connects Real Life Grave to Web 2.0 Fun

Whoever said Web 2.0 is nothing more than a passing phase? With something called Cemetery 2.0, people can connect physical gravestones to online memorials of dead people. Yup. Remember Great Aunt Agnes? Oh what a fighter she was. Now you can link her burial plot to her Facebook account, all her pics on Flickr and other Web 2.0 wholesome fun. Morbid? Certainly, but no one said this bubble was a noble one. More »

Nokia's N73 Cellphone With 3.2-megapixel Camera Available Now in Europe

The Nokia N73, complete with 3.2-megapixel camera, is available now in Europe for around $700. The N73, which was announced in April, features a number of options that make it an attractive option for photography buffs (well, insofar as photography buffs don't mind using a cellphone for taking photos), such as integrated flickr support and a 2.4-inch QVGA display. There's also the assorted bonuses now commonly found on mid to high-end cellphones, such as MP3 (and WMA) support, a miniSD expansion slot and synchronization with Bluetooth or USB. It's a GSM cellphone, but also supports the new kid on the block, EDGE. More »
