We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Extreme Unicycle

X-TREME unicycle!  Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up.  Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies.

Matrix Ping-Pong

An oldie, but a goodie. The Japanese are weird, and for once it works out in their favor. If you haven’t seen this video, you are in for a treat, and if you have, this one never gets old.

It would be tacky and wrong of me to pick on him. So please feel free to insert your own jokes below in the comments! As a reward for frightening the makers of the game, the now legendary “red shirt kid” is a playable character in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately when he heard the news, the kid exploded in nedgastic joy.

It took a few years, but Dell finally updated the design of its two largest XPS laptops. The XPS 15 gave way to the XPS 14, while the XPS 17 was replaced by the XPS 16. The latter gained the ultramodern look of the XPS 13 Plus, complete with a glass palm rest, a hidden haptic touchpad, and a row of LED function keys.

It's a significant update but places the XPS 16 in direct competition with the Apple MacBook Pro 16. That's an excellent matchup with proven performance and battery life and an elegant design that's solid, if a lot more conservative.
