Jay Leno and NBC Steal Video, Block Rightful Owner
Having someone use your video without permission sucks, but it isn't really news. Having your video removed from YouTube on a bogus copyright claim sucks even worse...but...still isn't news. Having Jay Leno and NBC gang up and do both to you is news.

Your company NBC just up and blocked our video and claimed that we are copyright infringers! But we are not! We made it! And this is the video that you said you loved! Now, if you try to watch our video (and again this is the video that had nothing to do with you until you used it in your show without asking) on YouTube it's just a big black sign that basically says, "the makers of this video stole this video from NBC, so you can't watch it!" Jay, what in the hell is going on here?

The massive Thermaltake Frio OCK heatpipe HSF is strapped to the HardCoreWare test bench today for some benchmark action. This quote about the design of the cooler made me chuckle:

The fan's design is… interesting… If you were looking for a 'classy' aesthetic like you'd see with a Noctua cooler, you'll have to look elsewhere. But if you want a design that shouts at the top of its lungs that you are one bad ass mofo (as if they couldn't tell from the sound of all the fans in your rig whirring at top speed) then this is the one for you.

Facebook Launches iPhone Camera App
Good thing Facebook didn't just pay a billion dollars for Instagram or this new iPhone camera app would seem like a pretty stupid idea. Wait....

The new app is similar to Instagram, the photo-sharing app Facebook is in the process of buying for $1 billion. The acquisition, however, has not yet been completed. Facebook didn't give details on when it might release a version of the app for phones that run on Google's Android operating system.
