I find it amusing that this is marked NSFW (but I understand why you would hide it behind a link for the sake of the squeamish). Most Gizmodo articles with sexual NSFW pictures aren't hidden nearly as well as that ear photo.

So when the final version releases, will the beta copies just stop functioning, or will people get to keep them? I can't seem to find an answer on the beta page.

Try another browser, it loaded instantly for me in Chrome, but stalled on Loading in Firefox.

Well, it's a cool effect, but after a few seconds of digging, it crashes my Chrome tab. On Firefox I can't even get past the "Loading..." bar.

Ha! I KNEW I heard this playing in the background!

Team Fortress 2 already got Pigeon-related DLC in June of last year.

The Guinness World Records 2012 deal is already over.

Man, if I had a star I'd promote you. Well done.

The Anonymous OS is most definitely fake. It is a real hacking tool, yes, but it's nothing special. It's an existing common hacker's Linux distro repackaged by some troll with an Anonymous wallpaper and several trojans. The more skilled Anonymous hackers use other tools, maybe even the original, unmodified Linux…

Ditto here... Facebook IM for work seems almost useless, whereas Google Talk works great with Google Apps domain accounts (which a lot of businesses run off).

Roger Ebert had his own voice, drawn from audio recordings of his reviews, compiled into a TTS engine for his own use. I can't wait for this sort of technology to be improved and made more accessible to the average consumer.

For an hour of training the system, I'm not incredibly impressed with how it sounds right now. Pretty much the only recognizable aspect of the voice is the average pitch/timbre, which can be modified on existing TTS voices already. However, the idea shows promise and I'd love to see how it improves over time (i.e.…

It looks like Glazunov is still actually the only person at Pwnium to have won any money so far, and that there's still $940,000 left in the prize fund. They split up the $1 million prize pool and reward portions of it based on the severity of the hack/bug exploitation.

Too bad YouTube's only been around for 7 years so far.

Wow, aside from the UI and the selection of shows, this is actually pretty dang cool that Disney's doing this. The videos are in HD, and embedding is even enabled.

50 free Chuck E. Cheese tickets? That'll get you, what, a Tootsie Roll?

Replying to approve. If true, good tip!

I agree. Even aside from just ruining your Google account profile picture for other Google services, this method also fails to get rid of your full name, the huge share button, or your notifications button (which is a very obnoxious bright red).
