We’re happy with one solid-state drive, but the geeks over at Samsung put a whopping 24 SSDs in RAID with blazing fast results; 53 programs in 18s and DVD rip xfer in 0.8s FTW! Thanks, Alex!

Created by Ransom Riggs for mental_floss, this step-by-step Be Amazing! video shows how to destroy civilization with nanotechnology; you’ll never look at grey goo the same again.

NSFW: we’ve always wondered why Arnie had to transport in his birthday suit, and this video by CollegeHumor explains why; never, ever put fashion designers in charge of time travel.

Running almost twenty minutes long, the Episode 5 of Gametrailers’ Resident Evil Retrospective focuses on the uber-successful RE4 with a hat tip to its cinematic counterparts.

Addictive and fast-paced, Death vs. Monstars is a shoot-em-up with quirky graphics and a catchy 8-bit style soundtrack; note: the backwards aiming can take awhile to get used to.

If you’ve got mild ADD like we do, this one-minute, single-take rendition of Forrest Gump is perfect; it was shot by the U. of York Filmmaking Society for the One Minute Film Festival.

At heart just a bunch of nickel particles in a beaker, the behavior of the metallic snakes above is remarkably lifelike; scientists believe they could yield valuable information on emergent behavior.

EVE Online’s Apocrypha expansion rolls out tomorrow, and to celebrate they’ve released the launch trailer above; it’s basically sweet, sweet starship porn, not that we’re complaining.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. breaks the world drifting record by 2000 ft. using an admittedly questionable technique: doing donuts in a 2010 Ford Mustang until his tires come apart.

Those of you still Halo Wars-deprived should check out these Enemy Ocean, Backup and Kidnapping cutscenes; the Warthog filled with Spartans in the last one: awesomeness.

For those of you suffering from post-Watchmen trauma, this Saturday morning-styled Watchmen cartoon is so bright and cheesy it’s almost foul; in short, the perfect hangover cure.

We’re digging the artwork by Bill Barminksi for Death Cab for Cutie’s “Grapevine Fires” music video; it’s based on the wildfires that have ravaged Southern California in recent history.

Seed Magazine’s Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds is an accurately scaled video depicting various major biological milestones; humankind is relegated to a blip near the end.

Easily the best X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer yet, there’s quite a bit more to sink our teeth/retractable claws into, with more plot exposition and tons of X-Men character reveals.

Bowja 3 tasks you with guiding a ninja through a series of adventures; you basically click around to progress the plotline, but the story is interesting enough to keep us clicking.

Thru You is an interesting seven-track album using potentially the largest sample library in the world: YouTube; what results is an eclectic but surprisingly cohesive group of songs.

David OReilly’s Please Say Something is at heart a love story, but one so trippy in terms of dysfunctional plot, sound effects and graphics you’ll either be amazed or driven insane.
