Best tech support video ever?http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GeekIsAwesome/~3/eLoCazQbHtg/ http://geekisawesome.com/7216/best-tech-support-video-ever/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 19:00:19 +0000 submissions http://geekisawesome.com/?p=7216

This may be the best tech support video ever (song will get stuck in your head all day, though). "What's the sex of testicular DNA?" - Yep, a song that has that in the lyrics wins.
This video is inspired by all the dedicated everyday-heroes-of-science. The lyrics arose from the many email and phone conversations.

You don't always have the budget for awesome props and special effects and over the years Star Trek TOS fans have been exposed to some pretty natty looking props. It's amazing the phallic looking objects you can make with bit of tin-foil. Right Bones? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnSyzETJQCs

Riddick is back and this trailer looks awesome! There's no mention in the trailer of what happened with the Necromongers (Chronicles of Riddick) but I'm sure all of our questions will be answered in September.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
