RunPee, the website that tells you when it's safe to take a bathroom break during the movie you're watching, was a big hit when Lee wrote about it back in May. If you're a RunPee fan who's been wishing for a better, more practical mobile method of using the site, you might be interesting in the iPhone app. Now you can simply whip out your iPhone before the credits start and see when it's time to ...

Although some folks affectionately call them "time wasters," we prefer to think of our little jaunts into the far reaches of the Internet as "exploratory ventures that perhaps lead to a greater understanding of the world in which we live." Not buying it? You're right, they're time wasters. FreelanceSwitch.com thinks so too, and they've compiled a great batch of Web sites to check out when you have ...

Downloading movies was supposed to be fun, easy, painless, and the next big wave of digital entertainment. Not quite. How about not even close? No service has really lived up to the ideal standard we had in mind. So far the whole movie download service idea is as big a flop as light-up shoelaces, or bread made from rock, or even The Land Before Time quintrilogy. A new service called ClickStar ...

I don't know if it really qualifies as a time-waster if it's not something you can play, but nevertheless Animator vs. Animation II is right up our alley. It's a great Flash animation by Alan Becker about a Flash animator's creation that goes awry. If you enjoyed the original Animator vs. Animation, you'll enjoy its sequel, which features a lot more creativity on the part of Becker as Firefox, ...

Russell Heimlich over at our sister blog DV Guru has a great article on Microsoft's step into the living room (beyond gaming) with their TV offering, which soundly beats Apple's actual delivery of their iTV device. We have all known for awhile that Microsoft was aiming for our living rooms with the sexy stylings of the Xbox 360 and the many media-streaming features it offers. Along with HD-DVD ...

Steve Jobs has also been chatting with Lucas at various times about the idea, which isn't surprising now that iTunes now has movies from Disney, with more to follow invariably. Lucas and Jobs have ...

Amazon ends speculation and buzz by announcing their Unbox movie (and TV too) download service today! TV shows will be $1.99 (gee, that sounds familiar), movies will be $7.99 to $14.99 and $3.99 to rent them. Who knows at this point, but I'll bet if the service is the cat's meow it could give Blockbuster and even Netflix a run for their money. I see Amazon's service as taking the waiting out of ...

This is all too sweet. Some lucky dudes got a replica of the arcade cabinet used in the movie The Last Starfighter, and they are preparing to load a copy of the game used in the movie on it. Well, the game Starfighter is also a replica... But it's fun! And it's free. And with a little soldering know-how and a few spare weekends, maybe you too could build such a replica. The one they bought was ...
