Nintendo Revolution
It may be old news, but it's still cool news: The new Nintendo system has a motion sensitive controller, allowing you to control your game by moving, tilting and rotationg the controller... Great for fishing games and shoot-em-ups.

Tube poker anyone?
http://www.tubepoker.com
It's a site for a short film, looks good, it's running really slowly but worth trying later.
Awesome real paintbrush

Pick up colours from the world around you and paint.
Made for kids really, but a great tool. New feature records video of the moment you pick up the colour so you can subsequently touch the painting and find out where the colour is from.

Flock
Flock claims to be a new kind of 'social' web browser, integrating popular web services (Flickr, Blogging tools, social networking sites, etc.) into your browsing experience. It's based on Firefox, made by a bunch of ex-Mozilla guys, and by the looks of it, there's a lot of interest, (mainly from the blogging community) considering it's only a private beta release at the moment.

Fun. I normally hate things like this. But it's a bit like a flash experiment as a real site, and it works. Wow.

I've added some of their motion graphics to the display, they also win the best splash page competition.
Guardian TV Spot
Don't know if anyone caught this over the weekend, but there's a nice TV ad to go with today's redesigned Guardian. There's a quicktime version here.

DTV: Internet TV on your Mac. (And on your PC. Soon.)
DTV is an app that acts like an internet TV viewer - you can browse available content channels, or download, manage and view any video content on the internet. You can also create your own channels out of existing video, and subscribe to and automatically download new content.
Some of the cooler features are:
• Supports 'seamless' BitTorrent & HTTP downloads (haven't checked this out yet)
• Suports RSS, so you can subscribe to existing RSS video feeds
• Currently supports all Quicktime-compatible media, will soon support AVIs, Flash, Real, and Windows media.
Oh, and:
• Totally free and open source
Haven't explored fully, but maybe we could use this for our display screen...
Check out the site

Video game advert repository
http://gameads.gamepressure.com/
Pretty amazing site. You can view almost any ad for any game on there. The viewing feature is well organised, and everything's available to download. Don't know if they've had any conversation about copyright...
Lots of good/weird creative work
Highlights:
Katamari Damacy fold-up
Mario, School's out
Golf/Porn
