To promote the upcoming season of The Big Bang Teory, CBS and Pepsi have come up with a pretty innovative advertising ploy:
“CBS will insert a paper-thin interactive video player into copies of the Sept. 18 issue of Time Inc.’s Entertainment Weekly sent to Los Angeles- and New York-area subscribers. The issue previews the 2009-2010 TV season. As part of a unique marketing partnership, PepsiCo will join with CBS to promote its Pepsi Max diet cola for men in the print ads and sponsor the fall debut of CBS’s Monday-night comedies on Sept. 21.”

UPDATE: Turns out it’s just a colony of tubifex worms. A rare sight, but not alien at least :)
Well well what do you know - no sooner do I invest in a new toy that someone discovers a nice little hidden feature:
“With Apple’s new iPhone 3G S hitting store shelves in Europe overnight, the device was thrown within minutes onto the operating table and gutted, revealing a Samsung-branded system-on-a-chip (SoC) featuring a multi-format codec with untapped HD video playback and capture capabilities.”
Now the question is, how does one go about using it?

If you were ever curious about just what happens when a bird hits a turbojet engine, wonder no more. Just hope never to have an actual window seat to the event.
