“Sites such as Wikipedia and Reddit are going “dark” this Wednesday, Jan. 18, to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) which, critics contend, would compromise the ability of any site that includes outside links to carry on current operations.
Feeling left out? A simple piece of code is helping the entire web (from major sites to even the humblest of Tumblrs) go dark in solidarity. The code, called STOP SOPA, replaces any site’s landing page with a black screen. Using your mouse a flashlight uncovers a message explaining the need to kill SOPA and a link to anti-SOPA site AmericanCensorship.org.”
Ok.. so regardless of whether you’re a fan of Katy Perry and her latest tune, “California Girls“, this fine parody from the peeps over at ScreenTeamShow is a must watch. Their team did a great job on the video and it looks like they had a boat-load of fun doing it.
Personally, I like Katy’s song so this parody (“Comic Con Girls“) for all the she-geeks of the world is just icing on the cake!
If you like it.. spread it, share it, pass it on! Girl Geeks rule!
While surfing the internet with my “lab rat hat” on, I came across various articles and videos on “How To Build An Oil Cooled PC”. I thought to myself, OMG seriously?
Apparently, not only to hardware gearheads do this, but they sell these pre-made PCs online.
They also offer DIY computer kits for the adventurous ones out there.

So, you may ask, how is this aberration of nature possible? Well mineral oil is non-conductive. It is actually possible – though potntially mind-bending – to submerge your PCs shinny parts into mineral oil (cleanest option). Though I doubt I’ll even be moved to attempt this myself, I do find it strangely interesting.
Here are a few brief videos on hard-core enthusiasts at work!
