When Hitler Doesn’t Like You, There’s An Issue
In case you can't tell, I'm on #teamconan. I haven't found Leno funny since... I dunno... ever. And while I found Conan a little lacking on The Tonight Show, ever since he knows he's on his way out and doesn't really have to win over the midwest, he seems to be back in his old weirdness, which I appreciate.

Lady Gaga And The Soundboard Of Doom
This is freakin' awesome. Midway through a show at the House Of Blues in New Orleans, Lady Gaga's soundboard borked out, leaving her without any music, background vocals, or much of anything but dancers. However, unlike any one of a number of musical acts I can think of that would just stop and wander around lost, Gaga keeps singing.
I gotta say, like Agent M mentioned in his original post, I wasn't originally a fan of Lady Gaga... I wrote her off as a gimmicky one-trick pony. However, after being subjected to her by various people I work with, catching this video of her performing 'Pokerface' on a piano and actually hearing her sing without any other crap musicians use to keep themselves sounding perfect, and with things like this, I must admit I dig her act.

Merry Christmas (Or Happy Friday, Whichever Works For You)
And now for the most important holiday video ever:
HP Computers Hate Black People
Wow. Here's hoping they're working on a software fix for this, and fast, 'cause (a) this is lame and (b) it could lead to some interesting conversations at customer service counters around the nation.
CUSTOMER: Hi, I'd like to return this HP computer, please. It seems to be defective.
CLERK: Let me guess, the face-tracking feature isn't working as you expected?
CUSTOMER: That's right, how did you know?
CLERK: Oh, it doesn't work on people who aren't white.
CUSTOMER: ...
CLERK: Yup. Just like face tracking and a multi-touch screen, this product also has 'hate' as a built-in feature.
CUSTOMER: Why do I doubt they listed that on the box?
UPDATE: HP responds!
A Very Important Holiday Message
Hey, New York State Senate!

I mean, seriously, why shouldn't we give gay people the same chance to screw up a life-long commitment like marriage that we give Tiger "I Cheat On My Smokin' Hot Wife" Woods?
