OK Netflix junkies — or anyone else that has a queue-filled Netflix account like me. You know those little red flaps? The one you tear off Netflix envelopes when you're about to return the movie? Yeah, the ones you throw in the trash (hopefully you recycle them instead). Get this, there's actually a website called Netflix Origami that provides you with ways to fold your Netflix flaps into origami works of art! You are not only reusing and recycling these pieces of paper, but you're creating neat objects like crabs, hearts, frogs and gliders!

Though the second Microsoft ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld is a lot funnier than the first, I can't help but feel that it's still lacking . . . direction? Humor? As a die-hard Seinfeld fan, I'm disappointed that these spots aren't as "Jerry" as his humor on the show was, and even more disappointed because I don't really know what Microsoft is trying to say.
Contrast that with their rival Apple, who've spun the Get a Mac ad campaign off the notion that Mac users are cool and PC users are, well, John Hodgman, and I have to call Apple as the winner again. I get the point, they don't meander, and they entertain me.
Now putting aside your preference for Apple or Microsoft, tell me, which ads do you like more?
I was fascinated by what I found inside when I started taking electronics apart when I was younger, so these pieces really appeal to me. The price for an original? Just $50.
Sure, Google Maps is great for getting directions, travel times, and checking traffic conditions, but what else can you do with this freakishly easy-to-use site?
Let me count the ways . . .

Start warming up those pipes! I heard from a little birdie (read: Sony's website) that one of the greatest bands to sing along with EVER - ABBA - is coming to SingStar (for Playstation 2 and 3) with their own awesome collection.
If you OD'd on Mamma Mia this Summer like I did, then you understand how crazy stoked I am that I'm about to get an ABBA song collection for my PS3! I mean, I've been known to belt out random ABBA songs in my office in the shower, so I may as well be collecting points for it!
I'll always be a Nokia fan; it wasn't long ago that they had the hottest handsets in the world, and they continue to make high tech, dark horse designs in cell phones; sadly, affordability is often a hurdle.
But I have nothing bad to say about their "Fourth Screen" commercial below — all good things, actually. I could go into how epic and moving it is (I know, I just said a commercial was moving), but all you need to know is that it's almost two and a half minutes long — astoundingly long for an ad by today's standards — and not only did I hungrily devour every moment, I did not want it to end.
