Ryo back with a fairly amusing, and very catchy, video to share with you. Discovered this little gem thanks to my video game news feeder I have on my homepage. That time of the year is coming up, so everyone share with me what geeky little gadgets you are trying to score this holiday season. Extra points go to anyone who is having their family members shop ThinkGeek for the gifts.

Every once in awhile, I come across a story that gives me a bit of insight into how many talents some people have. In this case, it is a story about an iPhone app that was programmed by a group of radiologists. The app (OsiriX) makes news because radiologists are shuffling into the support group for this little piece of code. A trial study was conducted at University of Virginia with people suspected of having acute appendicitis. The radiologists with the app viewed the CT Scans of 25 patients, and diagnosed appendicitis correctly in 99% of the cases. Only one false negative came out of that study. So it seems the app has proven it is a good first leap in the right direction for those in the medical profession. Though the $19.99 price tag may influence that a bit. We’ll see how things turn out, but if history is an indicator: once someone pushes an idea out into the open, others will take it and run with it.

Google is at it again, and yes I realize I do a lot of things over Google but usually they do interesting stuff so it is newsworthy. This time around, they have opened up a URL shortening service called Goo.gl. As of right now this isn’t opened for use to the general web quite yet so other services still have time to produce some unique ideas to keep ahead in the competition. Also, Google has announced that they are pushing their Googlephone dubbed Nexus One to T-Mobile in January. Don’t feel left out, those of you on other carriers (me) though because they plan to sell an unlocked version as well.

Gonna keep this bit short due to not wishing to brush too much into politics. Basically, back during the Bush administration it seems some e-mails were mislabeled and lost. This was noticed by the National Security Archive and lawsuits were filed. Computer technicians were hired for the task of figuring out where the e-mails went so proper action could be taken and it seems that 22 million e-mails have been recovered. So it seems like good news so far, and that’s all I’m going to say on this so take from the events what you will.

AT&T iPhone users, listen up. This one is for you. It seems an iPhone user has gotten sick of what AT&T offers as their network and for some…questionable comments regarding people who use the data network heavily. An idea was dreamed up and posted by Dan Lyons (Strong language in his post) on his blog. To sum it up: iPhone users activate a data intensive app on Friday the 18th at 12:00 PM PST and let it run for at least an hour. The goal is to bottleneck the data network to send a message to AT&T that they need to rethink their words and how they run their network a bit better. I’d gladly lend my sword to his revolt if I had an iPhone and was on the AT&T network. Lend your support and maybe something interesting will come out of this.

The time has come for me to share with you the video that really just made my day upon its discovery. I resisted the urge to share it with any of my friends, post it to Facebook, or even Tweet a link to it. I am sure many have seen it already, but something like this absolutely has to be shared. I want everyone reading to get comfortable, kick back, and enjoy some of the finest Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time machinima I have ever laid eyes on. Prepare yourselves….for The Legend of Cool.

Now my day is complete, and thanks go to Joystiq for their post that led to my discovery of this video.
