Your Disney vacation is about to get even creepier, kids predict the Internet (right down to the cats), and if there were an Air Bud/Jaws crossover (please God let this happen!) this shark would be the star.
It's not exactly news that professional wrestling is "fake," but how do wrestlers make those body slams look so brutal (most of the time, at least)? We check in with our resident wrestler, editor Frank Knight, who joins Scam School for a lesson in whoop-ass. Plus by now we've all seen the Gangnam Style video, but what's the real story behind it?
It's Labor Day Weekend, which means you're heading back to school! Or, just continuing with regular life, whatever. Either way, you can still learn a few new tricks with Scam School this week. Plus: Even if you're not a political junkie, party conventions often make for some LOLs This week's RNC was was definitely no exception.
Apple's expected iPhone 5 announcement is next week, but there were a number of interesting product announcements this week - not all of which went as planned. Plus - a robot that runs faster than Usian Bolt, and Vladimir Putin saves a bunch of baby birds. Allegedly.
The iPhone 5 is out, and it's...taller? The emoticon turns 30, so we take a quick walk down memory lane. Plus, actress Alison Pill is the latest victim of a topless pic scandal. So how does "accidental" sexting actually occur?
Apple Maps is for the truly adventurous, learning to put a condom on (a Coke bottle) and DMX says what we've all been secretly thinking all these years.
Facebook releases a real head-scratcher of a commercial to celebrate its 1 billionth user - Bieber himself is a bit nauseated by it, in fact. Finally, what would happen if XCOM was real life?
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is out, and some are calling it "meh". A PBS game lets you create your OWN political ads, and I hit the streets to find out what people would rather give up: Facebook or _____?
Between Xbox Music, Azure, Surface, and the upcoming Windows 8 release, Microsoft wants you to think of its products in a hip new way! Ergo, rap music. Because rap music. Plus, we catch up with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian - and test him on his meme knowledge.
Windows 8 is unleashed, the iPad mini already has a Chinese knockoff, and a really easy costume idea for Halloween.
This week marked a sea change for nerds everywhere: Lucasfilm merged with Disney. Star Wars fans are upbeat about the deal - mostly. Plus Samsung makes it VERY clear what it wants you to use its device for (within a stable marriage, of course) and vintage rave footage!
Annie shares why you might not want to buy iPads at Wal-Mart, why you'd want to party with these news anchors and Boy Meets World and Dog With A Blog.
Let's ring in the holiday season with a cover of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer by rapper DMX, last seen freaking out after encountering Google for the first time. Meanwhile, some high school students created the eighth wonder of the world: the worst video the Internet has ever seen. Seriously, everyone is unanimous about this one.
Having a nice normal Holiday? NOT ANYMORE thanks to these terrible ads featuring Santa like you never wanted to see him (or her). Plus: Possibly the worst gift ever, and a New Years' Eve party you do NOT want to miss.
Happy New Year! Here are a few DOs and DON'Ts for 2013.
Our team has been at CES for nearly five days. In Vegas. Around day four, things start to get a little weird. Can you tell we're a little tired?
This week's theme is LOVE, SEX and DECEPTION!
It's Super Bowl weekend, and as a serious journalist, Annie must remain strictly neutral on the matter. But whether you're a football fan or not, you can enjoy the ridiculous commercials that air live...or not.
Vine gets steamy, pheromone parties and a vagabond with a hatchet saves lives!
This week, we talk about the Russian meteor, the original Harlem Shake Vs. what it is in actuality, Photoshop bans and much more!
From all the Google talk to the PS4 and even the Earnest Smith photoshop contest, Annie fills you in on this past week!
This week we talk about some updates to the Copyright Alert System that went into effect this week. Can it shut off your internet? Yes. Is it easy to avoid? Also yes. PLUS: an app that HATES slackers, the best way possible to get your coworkers to stop perstering you, and why am I covered in bruises?
The new SimCity seems incredible - if only people could actually play it. Democracy sort of worked this week, as far as cell phone unlocking is concerned. Pizza Hut has gone off the deep end, which is why YOU should be their social media manager and more!
What the hell happened to Adrien Brody? What have they done to you, Adrien?
Hey, exciting news for XBOX users! Revision3 now has an official app. There you can search videos by host, topic or even events - GDC 2013, for example. What were the big developments this year?

Plus: Google Glass announces #ifihadglass winner, but says "whoops, never mind" to some of them.
Facebook Home is here, but what is it and who is going to buy it, anyway? Plus April Fools' Day sucks for broadcasters because everyone from Google to the White House pulls pranks. Watch to see what we got from them this year!
From spring cleaning for your tech to awkward prom video proposals, Annie fills you in on what you missed this week! Plus, Annie shows off Stuff Mom Never Told You and BitCoin tanks!
In light of the tragedies that occurred this week, Annie instead decided to focus on some of humankind's cool achievements. Check them out!
Who knew that a simple Rastafarian Banana had the power to destroy lives? This guy named Henry found out the hard way. Also, you know what else is a bummer? NATURE. It hates you more than you know. Also, a life according to Google Search is depressing and pathetic beginning at age 10. At least some people turn out nice, though.
The fundamental question of Glass: Is it "dorky"? Who cares? More importantly - is it way too expensive? We explore all these questions this week, including a Tekzilla interview with someone who's actually been using them for several weeks. Plus: the best way to use a treadmill, and America's Sweetheart (Charles Ramsey, who helped rescue three kidnapped women this week) gets songified.
Hey, what was up at Google I/O this year? Several of our associates attended this year, and reported back some interesting findings. Watch and be informed on how NOT to behave at urinals while wearing glass. Also, either Newt Gingrich is trolling us or he's a stoned time traveler from the year 1978. Speaking of travelers, did you hear the one about Kai the Hitchhiker? Ugh. Let's all leave this planet together, and you can with this week's most amazing video from space.
This week, Annie introduces TestTube! Plus, she transforms into a full-on Google Glass user.
This week: So, about that Xbox One. Catch up on the latest news and opinion about the upcoming console with Adam Sessler, Rev3 Games and Soldier.
E3 is coming up next week, so before looking ahead to E3 2013, let's first look back at some of the most ridiculous moments from past years.
Would this really happen in a World War Z situation?
If an online black market has a commercial on Youtube, is it still a "black market"? And what kinds of stuff can you buy on a Tor-based black market these day, anyway? Annie rolls up her sleeves and takes a close look.
You know what they say: What happens at the Jersey Shore, gets recorded by some Glasshole and uploaded to Youtube!

This week, we take a look at sharks, a hillbilly / raccoon dance and more!
It's Geek Week! A celebration of all things Geek, but did you know that the creature known as "Geek" actually may have an evolutionary advantage?
Rebekah the raccoon, Amazon theft and more this week on Annie's Bits!
The JOBS movie, starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, is out this week - but it can never measure up to the GATES biopic, in theaters soon (hopefully). Summer's almost over, but we'll always have this "crazy bitch" wedding dance. Plus: Russian soldiers sing Adele.
This week we take a took into the seedy underworld of the Internet. No, not the Annie's Bits comment section - we're talking about LEWD WEBSITES, which it turns out not everyone is a big fan of. Also, soon we must bid farewell to Steve Ballmer, the colorful Microsoft executive. And finally, why the hell can't I wear white after Labor Day?
This week, we talk Batfleck and Miley Cyrus hate, plus Lil BUB and one foxy music video!
New iPhones are out! Should you get a 5c, a 5S, or neither? Should you be wary of fingerprint scanning? Let's see how it works first. Plus, a certain popular video from last week turned out to be a fraud. So Phil DeFranco joins Annie for a round of: Is this video REAL or FAKE?
GTA 5 is out this week, and it's already made nearly a billion dollars - easy to forget that Grand Theft Auto is easily the most controversial game ever. But are the criticisms of violent video games really valid? Let's look at the science. Plus: Let's show the ugly animals some much-deserved love, and iOS7 dropped this week, but not without some issues.
First and foremost,a leading mystery of the internet was revealed last week. Remember the strange Youtube account, Pronunciation Book? Well, as it turns out, the whole thing was a hoax, but not wha many people expected. In exciting news: Water is reported to have been found on Mars! But is there life? Some internet denizens think yes. Media files
Oct. 4 marks the beginning of Space Week! Let's take a look back at how far we've come.
Is telekinesis possible, even a little tiny bit? Probably not, but TNT definitely is. Plus, the United States government is shut down - no problem, not like there's an outbreak of a horrific flesh-eating drug right nowor anything. Oh wait. PLUS: Annie responds to a couple of common viewer questions.
You love kung pao chicken. We all do. But you may lost your appetite for Chinese Food forever after viewing the latest horror show from Ark Music Factory. But what is this "music factory" and WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO US? Stuff to Blow Your Mind explains why some music freaks us out so bad. Plus: Halloween is coming up, and you should know that flossing is a huge waste of time.
SURPRISE. Gearing up for a new show to be announced soon, I am releasing a random mid-week episode. Because I have nothing better to do.
This week, a quick recap of the (second) hottest technology press event of the week! Nokia announces a tablet at a curious time, Google wants you to know it has your back, and all the Halloween prep you'll really need.
Last week, CNET did some digging and found that a secret construction project rising out of the San Francisco Bay is very likely tied to Google - but no one will confirm what it's about. So naturally, we took a field trip out to Treasure Island to take a look.
Your theories about what that Google Barge is all about, a recap of the worst Halloween ever, why you get "the sads" in the Fall, and why Daylight Savings is a thing.
Want a hovercraft? Of course. Is Fat Usher a pedo? Not sure. These and many other IMPORTANT questions on today's (FINAL) episode.
