If you are wondering exactly what happened to big chunks of your life over the last 15 years, here they are. This video is a brief collection of clips from popular Internet trends over the time span. You’ve already given them hours, days, and weeks of your life, so what is 9 minutes more?


Cruise Ship Vs. Waves (Spoiler, the waves win)

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. In August, the cruise ship the Pacific Sun ran into a heavy storm near New Zealand.  Hilarity ensued. Well, hilarity for us, it probably sucked for them.

Phil Davidson’s Ridiculously Passionate Stump Speech

Whether it is in fiction or reality, you have all seen it before. The lone man (or woman, but in this case man), facing off against those in power. He is the underdog, the plucky outsider, trying against all odds to rise, and he does so with a fiery and passionate speech. He is Mr. Smith in Washington. He is Martin Luther King Jr. telling people his dream. It is rare, but it happens from time to time, and usually lives forever in history. This is not one of those times.


Spiders on Drugs

What begins as a documentary on the habits of araneae quickly devolves into an episode of The Wire. Stringer Bell is always looking for a new market.


Watermelon attacks woman

If you have ever watched a clip on the Internet before, you can probably guess what happens next in this clip form the TV show The Amazing Race based on the picture at the top of this article. If the challenge was to eat a watermelon, she is doing it wrong. Unless of course there is a speed bonus, in which case she totally rocked it.

Months after banning all foreign routers and subsequently approving some of them in weeks, the FCC is back at it again, and this time robots and power inverters are in its crosshairs. 

The Federal Communications Commission has added two new entries to its Covered List, and this time the targets are advanced robots and power inverters made outside the US. The move follows a White House-led security review that flagged both categories as genuine risks to national security.

I tried Dell’s sleek XPS 13 and it’s a breath of fresh air for budget Windows laptops
Dell shrank the XPS 13’s price without stripping away its premium identity
Dell XPS 13 Hands-on

When Apple launched the MacBook Neo, it reset my expectations for affordable laptops. Its $599 starting price paired an aluminum body with the polish people expect from a MacBook, leaving Windows manufacturers with a difficult target to chase. While that price has since risen, it is still a solid laptop for the price it is listed at.

During Computex 2026, I saw a possible answer to this MacBook. After spending time around several affordable Windows laptops at the show, I wrote about how the category finally appeared ready to move beyond plastic bodies and poor displays-- and one of the models that I was particularly looking forward to was the Dell XPS 13.

Study says relying on AI can turn doubt into false confidence
AI is making it harder for people to say "I don't know."

You'd think getting wrong advice would make you more cautious. New research says the opposite happens when that advice comes from AI. A study led by Valerio Capraro, a psychology professor at the University of Milan-Bicocca, found that incorrect AI advice made people less accurate, yet noticeably more confident in their answers (via IBM Think).

The study also found that people who received incorrect AI advice became far less willing to admit they didn't know an answer, even when staying silent was an option, and they were rewarded for accuracy.
