New Chips Poised to Revolutionize Photography, Film
For the first time, professional-grade single-lens reflex cameras are gaining the ability to record high-definition video. That capability, photographers say, has the potential to transform both still photography and moviemaking -- and it's largely thanks to advances in the semiconductor technology used to make the image sensors inside these cameras.

Banksys Village Pet Store
Those recently painted, floor-to-ceiling rat billboards plastered all over NYC by Banksy were just the beginning. Now having already garnered plenty of buzz for the artist, Banksy-lovers can experience the main course at The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, a bizarre pop-up shop featuring a fish bowl inhabited by fish sticks, McNuggets, various animatronics, and other curiosities, edibles, and unexpecteds in terrariums.

Cheeky PSA’s for AIDES
TBWA and London based studio, Minivegas bring you these two amazing psa’s for aids awareness. These are the types of projects that I dreamed of working on when I entered this field. Seemingly no restrictions and the ability to create an entire world based on joke after joke is a rare opportunity. Minivegas in no way disappoints; the character creations are very well done as well as their execution, and yes I am referring to penis fish and breast planets when saying this.

Cheech and Chong reminisce about their ‘joint’ career
Cheech Marin answers the phone at a Ritz-Carlton hotel room in Florida, where he is booked under the name Dick Gozinya. He chuckles mischievously when told that asking the front desk clerk to be connected to his pseudonym’s room was a little awkward. He may now be a world-class Chicano art collector and respected actor, but he clearly hasn’t lost his crass sense of humor.
Two days later, while appearing with partner Tommy Chong during the first of two shows at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, Cheech confirmed that his humor is still as delightfully ribald as ever. The two are in the midst of their first national tour together in more than a quarter-century, and Cheech proclaimed his enjoyment at being onstage in Hampton.

VH1 Honors Cypress Hill
The most famous weed-smoking rap group of all time, Cypress Hill, was celebrated at VH1's Hip Hop Honors - along with De la Soul, Naughty by Nature, Slick Rick and Too Short.
B-Real In his acceptance speech, Cypress' B-Real acknowledged, "People know we get baked. They figure that's a part of it. And I think it plays a part, I'm not gonna lie. But we always tried to let people know just through the music that we were more than that. We were talking about other things that were far more serious. It's an important issue to us, it's something we believe in, but it wasn't all we were about."

Cisco ships Mexican drug runner music on VPN CD
Instead of the intended software, some CDs shipped to Cisco customers featured 12 tracks of Mexican music, including Narco Corridos tunes from Diego 'El Compa' Rivas. Narco Corridos songs often celebrate drug running, and are popular in northern Mexico but derided by some as a "cancer that is killing Mexican music".
