Hi Mum. Are you? That’s great. Well actually I’m trying to write something for Techland at the moment. Is that the dog barking? Well how did it get in there in the first place? Wait. Hold on, …
Never in the history of cinema have we seen a film that’s almost as long as the history of cinema.
MoldytoasterMedia’s epic masterpiece, simply titled The Longest Video on YouTube, is an exquisite piece of work examining the essence of humanity contrasted with the fragility of life and the existential nothingness of un-being.

The latest LulzSec hack upon the websites of scandal-struck News International and some of its U.K. newspapers is just another episode in the adventures of what the hackers themselves call “the Lulz Boat,” by which they mean the increasingly bizarre and illegal trip they’re taking through global media and politics.
