Nvidia and YouTube has teamed up to put out a number of free 3D videos that you can view for free. While anyone can check out the 3D clips posted on YouTube, it’s not exactly for everyone, because you’re going to need to view them using Nvidia’s own 3D Vision kit to get the full effect. The effect being what Nvidia calls the best 3D videos available on YouTube.
If you have a PC, Google TV, iOS or Android device and a couple of hours to burn, here’s something you might want to have to check out. Okay, you really don’t have to do it but since you have time to spare, just go for it. YouTube is serving up full movies for free. And we’re not talking about previews, teaser clips, or do-something-to-watch-them tricks here: we’re talking full-length films that you can burn a couple of hours with. Granted, we’re not exactly talking about premium Hollywood hits here either, but hey, if you like classics and B-Movies like Alice in Wonderland (the 1949 classic starring Carol Marsh; not the weird, trippy one that stars bug-eyed Johnny Depp), Supercroc and Horror of the Zombies, awesome for you.
This video of a dancing Android mascot was caught in China, where Sony Ericsson used it to promote the Xperia Arc. Yeah, it really isn’t that big of a deal if you think about the grand scheme of things, but it’s just one of those clips – among many available on YouTube – that you just have to see if only once, because… well, it’s pretty entertaining if not downright weird. Best dance performance by a mobile phone mascot we’ve ever seen, hand’s down. Last time we saw the Android mascot in live action was when he was being stitched up with human thumbs (presumably somewhere in Asia as well), which initially showed us that Android gets around. But this video? It shows that ‘Droid sure knows how to party.
Never thought you’d hear (or in this case, read) that sentence in your life, did you? Well, it’s true anyway. Here’s a 10-minute video of a guy an idiot who, for some reason unknown to us, decided to cover a working PSP in batter, deep-fry it – essentially ruining a perfectly working handheld console – and then eat it. Or at least try to. At around the 9-minute mark, he’s still gagging. Yeah, it made us squirm. Not because of the potential dangers of ingesting burned plastic, metals and battery acids, but… you know, it’s a waste of PSP. Somebody tell these guys that Jackass is so 2002. You’ve probably seen worse, but if you were looking for idiotic videos on YouTube, here’s an effective way to waste 10 minutes of your life. Video after the break.
Thanks to last year’s successful trials where they streamed live Indian Premiere League cricket matches (they got 55 million views from more than 250 countries), Google plans to stream more live sports soon. According to this report, Google is talking with the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, as well as soccer leagues in Europe. Not that we don’t already spend more than enough time on YouTube, but if they ever pull through, that’s good news for sports fans like us who hate having to stand up from the computer desk just to turn on the TV.
