The Largest Black Holes in the universe

This looks great full-screened and in HD. The biggest black holes come in at 18 million solar masses. That’s kind of big.

Cats have epic 3-way steak battle

Watch the little cat in the middle, he seems to have the right idea.

$400k CSI Opening Sequence – Season 10

An amazing visual way to tell a story. “Bullet time” features heavily.

Electric Bike is Oddly Classy and Compelling

I love the way he just puts in his backpack and goes inside.

Amazingly Lifelike Full-scale Robotic Dinosaurs

For the first 20 seconds of the video- I was a bit confused, as I couldn’t figure out how this could not be CGI.

    That dinosaur show was just in town not too long ago. The little raptor or mini-rex (not sure which one) was on the news demonstrating and promoting the show. Very neat how realistic it all is.

    The Yike is going to fail for the same reason as the Segway. It is too expensive.

    The dinos are not robots. They are big puppets manipulated by people inside. Like Big Bird on Sesame Street. If you look close, you can see the puppeteer's legs under the raptor.

    Dinosaurs evolved into birds. In puppets the evolution seems to have reversed.

    Interesting opening to a TV show, but once again, a good idea has been take two notches too far. The scene would have been far more effective without quite so much going on in the same split second. What, TEN guns were fired simultaneously?

    Loved the cat fight, though. Now THERE'S drama!

    "If you look close, you can see the puppeteer’s legs under the raptor."

    You had to look close to see that? Did you nearly miss the stick up the T-Rex's rear-end, too?

    I think the first one is well worth watching.

    I would also like to say that the yike bike song is 'Feels so good' by Hera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TAtNjdQ9fM&feature=player_embedded#

    Yeah, thanks for pointing out those human legs (and the sticks up the other dino butts). I doubt I would have noticed them.

    What I didn't get was why were the people wearing Viking helmets?
