Robin Williams is a funny guy, and once you get him going, he won’t stop. This clip is from Ellen a few weeks back. In it, Ellen DeGeneres asks Williams about the future and he immediately brings up the iPhone 4S and Siri. After a quick impression, he explains how a French Siri should talk. There are worse ways to spend a minute, check it out and then LIVE YOUR LIFE!

If you haven’t had enough of Robin Williams getting geeky, check out his Legend of Zelda commercial from earlier this year, or if you want to go way back, there’s a pretty funny video of him playing Will Wright’s Spore back in 2006.

Believe it or not, this video comes from Vic Gundotra’s Google+ account (via TechCrunch).

How to create a Subreddit on desktop and mobile

Few social media sites are as popular as Reddit. Regardless of what you're interested in, there's probably a thriving community for you to interact with on the platform. Known as subreddits, these communities are home to topics like gaming, world news, science, movies, and more. If you can't find a subreddit with your particular interest, Reddit makes it easy to create your own Reddit community.

Running a successful Reddit community isn't easy – but the process of starting one only takes a few minutes. Keep in mind that you'll want to keep a close eye on your subreddit to prevent it from being shut down or turning into a wasteland with no users, but running a subreddit can be a lot of fun when done properly. If you prefer, you can also create a private community that only your friends can join, giving you a place to hang out beyond Twitter and TikTok.
