YouTube Highlights a Year in Video
On Wednesday eve, when most of you were probably ringing in the New Year with champagne and noisemakers, YouTube was showcasing 24 of their highest-rated and most memorable videos of 2008. If you've got some time to spare, it's quite entertaining to see the videos that made the cut. In the meantime, here are four of my favorite to hold you over!
Happy New Year From geeksugar!
If you've been following our Best of 2008 Polls and Results Roundups, then you'll know that 2008 didn't let us down in terms of new gadgets, tech news stories, iPhone goodies, video games, TV and movie tech, and neat new online tools. For the second year in a row, Apple surpassed the rest in terms of hot new products, newsworthy stories and all the Steve Jobs coverage, which managed to keep us on our toes.
A big thank you for a memorable 2008, and I look forward to yet another exciting year!
Geek Party Tip: Count Down to the New Year on Your Monitor
If you're having a New Year's Eve party tonight and will have a computer monitor in view, then download this free 3D New Year's Countdown.
When it comes, confetti will fall and "Auld Lang Syne" will play. Post New Year's Day, the screen saver countdown starts over (which I love, because NYE is my favorite holiday).
People to Power Times Square New Year's Party
The spectacular Times Square New Year's Eve celebration is already going to be that much more entertaining this year with the bigger Times Square LED-covered ball, and now Duracell has announced that they will power the ball with batteries charged by people.
They've recently built a "power lodge" in Times Square, which features rows of bicycles with generators that are connected to massive batteries. Visitors are able to take part in the pedal power that will provide enough power for the batteries to last 10 to 15 minutes during the live show.
Times Square New Year's Eve Ball to Be Bigger Than Ever
Get ready, get set, because this year's New Year's Eve in Times Square is going to be bigger and better than last year.
How? Well the signature Times Square ball, will be twice as big as previous years, being covered in more than 2,668 Waterford Crystals.
Did You Send Out a New Year's Text Message?
Every New Year, I usually make a point to send all my friends a "Happy New Year" text message. Maybe I was having too much fun when the clock struck 12 because I completely forgot to get my phone out and send a single text message. My friend on the other hand, woke up the next morning to realize that she had sent out a mass text to hundreds of her friends.
Capturing New Years
Did you manage to flaunt your digital camera as much as Seal did this New Year's Eve? I doubt it! Seal and Heidi Klum were just a few of the celebrities who rang in the New Year in style when the couple hosted a private party at the Aspen Peak Annual New Year's Eve 2007 bash and by the looks of it, made sure to capture every moment with some quality pictures.
