Anonymous asked: I love your site but I have a problem. When I scroll down and reach an embedded youtube video, the scrolling stops. I have to move around the youtube window to keep scrolling. It's very annoying and it only happens in youtube videos. Vimeo is fine. After playing around, I have found other tumbler sites have the same problem. No other sites with embedded youtube that I have found have issues....

Stop me if you've heard this one: So an Apple...
Last year, shortly before the iPhone 4 was launched, an unlucky/stupid/drunk/clumsy Apple employee was at a bar, field-testing a disguised prototype of the new phone and accidentally left it behind at a bar. Fast forward to now, and the exact same shit just happened with a prototype of the iPhone 5. Only this one wasn’t sold to Gawker, but apparently sold on Craigslist for $200.

Suicide by decapitation. When you really, really...
If you’re going to get all crazy during a domestic dispute that’s going to end in your own suicide anyway, you might as well do in a spectacular fashion, like a guy from Yorktown, Virginia did. His fight with his wife resulted in his beheading in front of police, something that you just don’t forget.
Yorktown sheriff deputies initially responded to reports of a domestic...

ICM Registry says that BarackObama.xxx,...
What with ICANN opening up a whole porny can of worms by approving the .xxx top level domain, they’ve had to set up some conditions. Namely, they and the ICM Registry have put together a huge list of “VIPs” whose names will be ineligible for use in combination with .xxx. So no barackobama.xxx, hillaryclinton.xxx or sarahpalin.xxx for example. There goes my million dollar porn...

Pirate Bay launches new file hosting site called...
After leaving the Pirate Bay, two of the site’s founders have moved on to create a one-click file hosting service called BayFiles, a site they say will respect copyright laws. Oh well that’s boring.
“BitTorrent is increasingly throttled or even filtered by ISPs, HTTP usually is not,” Bayfiles co-founder Fredrik Neij tells TorrentFreak. “Storage and transfers on Bayfiles also...

Wanna see some closeup pics of Henry Cavill in his...
We’ve seen a couple far away set pics of Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel, now here he is close up. And as you can see, the lack of red undies is probably the least disturbing of Superman’s new fashion choices.
Okay, I can get the lack of the red Super-panties, since that jives with the Superman comic reboot redesign, but the weird alien designs along the side? What’s...

David Bowie's "Space Oddity" as a kid's book. Most...
I’m just as much of a fan of David Bowie as everyone else, and I love the song “Space Oddity” for its haunting elegance, but turn it into a children’s book? I guess kids have to learn about loss at some point, but damn. “Space Oddity” by Andrew Kolb has a gorgeous 1960s style to it, but it seems at odds with the song itself.

Today’s that magical day when DC restarts 52 of its titles that will redefine their comics universe forever. From Superman to Batman to Wonder Woman to the Justice League, most of DC comics is getting a brand new facelift. And yes, that’s Cyborg in the JL, taking the token minority role from Martian Manhunter. Bastards!
The restarted titles that are coming out today are: Action...

China wants to pull asteroids into Earth's orbit...
While the US is figuring how to one day land humans on an asteroid, China wants to think about how we can bring an asteroid to us, pulling one into Earth’s orbit so they can mine it. While at first it appears like a really, really bad idea, it actually could be very possible.
At first glance, nudging an asteroid closer to Earth seems like one of those “what could possible go...

New Mexico state trooper gets caught having sex on...
If you get pulled over for speeding, you can convince a cop to let you off with a warning or less. Fucking a state trooper on the hood of your car in broad daylight is one way to do it, until your shenanigans get caught on tape. Getting out of a ticket probably isn’t the motivation here, I’m just wildly speculating. But the fact is that a New Mexico state trooper is in hot water...

AT&T and T-Mobile merger? US Dept. of Justice says...
So the bad news is that if you’re a current T-Mobile customer and you were hoping you were just a few pen strokes away from being able to get an iPhone without switching carriers, it looks like you might be SOL. Earlier today, the Department of Justice from the HALL OF JUSTICE have filed an antitrust suit to block the merger.
Artist’s rendition
The DOJ said the merger would lead...

List Soup: 26 movies you thought would suck but...
Sometimes it’s way too easy to judge a movie by its cover. Or its lead actor. Or the market for the film or any other preconceived notion. But often, a movie that you’ve avoided like the plague for a number of reasons will actually surprise you and be a hell of a lot better than you thought.
Based on a discussion from February, here are 26 movies that you thought would be total...

IHC TV Reviews: The Looney Tunes Show (2011)
Rebooting a franchise can be a tricky prospect. You’re expect to maintain a certain level of familiarity while still putting a new spin on it. It’s a delicate balance; especially once you factor in that you have to keep longtime fans happy as well as bring in a new viewer base. So when Warner Brothers decides to take it’s most iconic franchise, The Looney Tunes, and put a...

These little drawings represent each game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1988. These were created by Campbell Whyte, and some of the individual drawings are for sale on Campbell’s Etsy store. How many can you name?

Daily Discussion: If you could bring one creature...
Let’s get all Jurassic Park here for a second. Say you’ve got your own top of the line genetics lab and you could bring one extinct animal back to life, what would it be?
There’s lots of choices, but I’d love to bring back an extinct hominid like Neanderthal or Australopithicus. Life would be interesting if there were other intelligent bipedal hominids walking around.

Give an IHCer some feedback on his stand-up...
I just started a blog. By day, I’m a morning radio asshole. But I started writing a stand-up routine and decided it was more fun just to write. You needn’t (but feel free to) post this on your site, but as I love I Heart Chaos (and use it daily as show prep material) I’d love some feedback/criticism if and when you get a chance. Thanks!

Halo 4 will be the first of the "Reclaimer...
On the last day of PAX last week, Microsoft held their big Halo 4 panel. They answered some questions, they showed off some concept art, but the bulk of the game is still in that “we can’t talk about that” region. Still, it was nice to hear something about Halo 4. At E3, Microsoft said that Halo 4 would be the first of a new trilogy, and we now know that that trilogy is called...

Sooo HP's going to keep making the TouchPad? Stop...
HP comes out with the TouchPad. In the short span of just a couple months, TouchPad sales are so dismal that HP says it’s seriously thinking about getting out of the hardware business period— tablets, desktops, the whole lot. And so TouchPads drop to the fire sale price of $100 and suddenly the TouchPad is the hottest thing since the zipper fly. And now HP says that they’re...

Josh Brolin confirmed as the lead in Spike Lee's...
I’m still not in any way, shape or form at all convinced that Spike Lee’s American remake of Oldboy will be any good at all, but maybe we all could be surprised and Lee could knock it out of the park. One ray of sunshine is the news that Josh Brolin will be playing the lead character of Oh Dae-Su (certainly renamed for the American version), a man imprisoned for 15 years for reasons...
