Shirts with Video on them

When Money Attacks T-Shirts!

Check out this new technology from Philips.

It's called Lumalive. Basically, it allows all fabric to emit light, which means it can show videos.

Imagine a kid walking down the street wearing an episode of the Simpsons on his shirt. The future is now!

Banned Xbox Commercial - Giant Monster

When Money Attacks the Xbox.

I've heard that this Xbox commercial got banned, and was never released on TV. Have you seen it on TV? They don't really show any video games here, but the warriors and giant monster look like they came from a role playing game or adventure game. The sword reminds me of a Zelda game, but I don't think that would be on the Xbox.

They must have spent a lot on the special effects for a commercial like this, only to have it not shown on TV!

The Simpsons - Hilarious Live Action Video!

When Money Attacks the Simpsons!

Did you grow up watching The Simpsons? Well I did. I remember when it was playing on the Tracy Ulman Show. Then there was a Christmas episode with a race-dog. Then they launched the show with the refined animation style used today!

I also know other random things about it, like the fact that Danny Elfman wrote the music for it. Danny does the music for Tim Burton movies mostly (Batman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), but he also does movies with similar music (Spiderman, Men in Black, etc.). Anyway, even if you’ve never even heard of the Simpsons, you will probably still enjoy the music.

They do a phenomenal job recreating the cartoon intro with live-action. The actors are close enough, and there’s too much going on for you to be nitpicky. They nailed everything including the smoke coming out of the nuclear plant, Bart writing on the board, the quick cartoony cuts, the radio-active piece that follows Homer in the car, and even Bart skateboarding off the roof of Homer’s car.

The only thing that you’ll notice is amiss is that the cars drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right. Why is that? Because it takes the crazy British to put the time and energy into something like this! I believe they purposefully left the car stuff that way so that the world would know they were British.

And, as a bonus, here's the comparison between the cartoon and live action versions:

Warcraft 3 game on the Mitsubishi Table

When Money Attacks Warcraft!!!

Imagine playing Warcraft 3 or another game on a table! That's right, throw away your mouse and keyboard, and use your hands to play a game!

This is on the Mitsubishi DiamondTouch Table. The table is only being sold to universities to study the technology. Here is what the universities are using it for! Video games!

They use their hands to pan, to select individual units with fingers, to draw circles around units, and to select units in areas. Plus they added in auditory commands and responses. Very cool! Check out this video:

Interactive Table Bar Games - Projector system

When Money Attacks... Bars













Here is an interesting use of projection technology. This is used to create interactive games for clubs. It's a fun interactive environment to enjoy - play a game for a few seconds while you talk to your friends, drink, and listen to music.

Here is their video of the "spin" game. This game allows you to use your shadow to spin the image on the table, much like you would spin a wheel:

Dancing Cow costume - shoots milk out of its udders!

Dancing Cow costume - shoots milk out of its udders!

When Money Attacks Cows!!!

This video is from "America's Got Talent." It is "Holy Cow." Two of the three judges pull the plug on this one before it ends.

The tail moves, the cow dances on his head, the udders shoot milk, and the wife cheers on her cow.

This is a great case of spending money on a very weird hobby.
