The selection process for our weekly Beer O’Clock newsletter (The Best and Worst of Anthill TV) involves a surprisingly complex number of considerations, such as balance, educational content, local relevance, chuckle-factor and good taste. That’s why it was pleasing to stumble across this short clip at 4:22 this afternoon (yes, only minutes ago). It’s now that special time of day. So… enjoy.

The power of you: Exploiting user-generated content

The advent of social media and real-time web networks means that the youth of today are more likely to source information from someone they know than via traditional media. Not only does this undermine most previous media models but it also poses the questions of how do you predict this trend and, more importantly, how do you capitalise on it? Here, Managing Director of venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) Steve Jurvetson, speaking at the 11th Annual Top Tech Trends at the Churchill Club in 2009, gives his view on what the next five to six years hold and where he sees the opportunities in federated media.

Super Mario gets some stop motion madness treatment

Mario must be getting a bit long in the tooth these days considering that he’s been head butting bricks and chasing mushrooms for more than two decades. In that time he’s experienced a number of transformations, from games character to (not so successful) film star. Well, now he’s been transmogrified into a physical presence once again with the help of some modern stop motion trickery.

The third-party gadget floodgates have opened and we’re already becoming inundated with optional extras to help us play and adapt our new shiny toy. That’s why this video caught our attention. Not only is it a novel way to display your iPad, but it’s… kind of cool, with a hint of ‘chindogu’ madness likely to impress both early-adopters and luddites.

Big problems need tiny answers: Sutherland sweats the small stuff

Rory Sutherland uses the theory of behavioural economics and a number of humorous but valid examples to explain that, when faced with big challenges, the common response of most corporations and governments is to seek big, expensive fixes.

‘Rollable’ screens coming to a street near you soon

Sony has recently developed the prototype of a rollable OLED (organic LED) screen that can be bent and distorted while still rendering crystal clear 432 by 240 pixel video images.

Strive for your impossible dreams like a mustacheod, Honda-driving hero

Building on the success of its2006 ‘Impossible Dream’ campaign, Honda has released a new extended version for 2010 to air across 28 nations. The ad still features the original and distinctly ‘Village People-esque’ hero as he strives from one impossible dream (honda product) to the next, but is 20-odd seconds longer and flows a lot more smoothly. More importantly it features a greater number of Honda’s technological achievements including the HondaJet, the CR-Z Hybrid Coupe, the hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity and the humanoid robot ASIMO.
