Today’s videos feature a demonstration of Quantum Levitation with a WipeOut (video game) twist, a creepy robot that can mimic emotion, and a hardcore Jason Segel fan who’s adorable.

We’ve featured the awesomeness of Quantum Levitation before, now it’s even more cool because it’s being used for a WipeOut track and it features techno tunes.

I’m not sure we should want robots to reflect our human emotions. Isn’t that how The Terminator was able to blend in and track everyone down?

I really, really hope that in their own turtle language they were saying “COWABUNGA, now let’s get this pizza back to the sewer and hang out with Splinter”

Come on, Jason Segel. She said she would keep it platonic or not AND pay for the drinks. How can you say no?

I wonder what the odds were 5-6 years ago that we’d hear Miley Cyrus utter “balls zipped in his zipper” on a cable television show?

How many times a day do you find yourself watching a YouTube video? Let us know.

The top 10 are quite the assortment of videos, as they feature babies, music videos and a puppeteer. Probably the most shocking revelation, while compiling this list, was seeing Lady Gaga had 2 videos in the top 10. Personally, I wouldn’t have predicted her anywhere near the top 10… but what do I know. So with out further adieu here are the…

Top 10 Most Viewed YouTube Videos of all time – as of May 12, 2010.

Is there a video that you thought would’ve been in the top 10? Tell us.

The numbers for October follow a similar trend. The information was supplied by Matthew Daines, the lead developer of the Twitter app, Twellow.

"Monthly registrations continue a downward trend, while monthly tweets sent has set another record at 809 million," says Daines. "The rate of increase in the number of tweets sent has slowed somewhat from September, but not at a pace to match the lower registrations, so I think people who actually use Twitter are using it more."

"What they use it for though is the question," he adds.

October was quite a big month for Twitter. It made deals with both Google and Microsoft, surpassed the milestone of 5 billion tweets, rolled out the Lists feature on a wide scale, acquired a bigger office space, it expanded into more languages, it partnered with its first charity, and it may have even helped save some babies.

Twitter did lose Miley Cyrus, however, so that could explain the decline in new user registrations. I’m half joking, but I can’t help but wonder if it did play a significant role.

The Rap goes approximately like this:

Yeah, the rumors are true I deleted my Twitter

 Can you believe it, I got to 2 million!

I say adios, I have to say good-bye

And this little rap is to tell my fans why

–

No it wasn’t because my friends told me to

You all know very well what you say I don’t do

The reasons are simple I started tweetn’ about pimples

I stopped living for moments and started living for people

–

Yeah you write what your doing but who really cares

If I’m playing with Noah or just doing my hair

Everything that I type and everything that I do

All those lame gossip sites take it and they make it news

–

I want my private life private, I’m done tryin to please

I aint live n’ for tabloids, No, I’m live n’ for me

No more emo quotes and fake feuds with Demi

Yeah, I’m done with all that and the truth is I’m too busy

–

I gotta admit I miss Dane Cook’s tweets

And I really like lookn’ at Katy Perry and Brittany!

I might have some withdrawals, I was a little obsessed

But I’m peace n’ out and I’m leavin with this … Good-Bye

After snagging some suggestive—but not lewd, nude or vulgar—photos of then 15 Cyrus from her email account, Holly attempted to sell the photos to entertainment media outlets. Due to how he obtained them, he had no takers.

Holly posted the pics on the Internet and predicted the authorities would never find him. One would think karma would see him in jail, rather than the punishment of losing computers and being “thrown way off guard” by an FBI raid.

Why no charges? That other teenage TN hacker that broke into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo account was arrested, right? So was the fellow that hacked Scientology sites, right?

The latter two hackers had one thing in common: association with the Internet group Anonymous—digital anarchists the government seems especially keen on putting under its jails. The Palin hacker had the added onus of targeting a VP candidate—which gets the Secret Service involved.

I’ve run into Secret Service guys. Very serious fellows. Can know everything about you, your parents, what elementary school you went to, talk to your old teachers and preachers, and compile a list of your innermost secrets in under 24 hours. Josh Holly, apparently, is no national security threat.

And also, the DOJ’s interpretation of federal email privacy laws makes it hard to prosecute hackers cracking into and accessing already-opened email. That’s based on some fancy lawyering and semantics of defining email. Likely, no national security threat plus difficulty in prosecution is the only thing (so far) that has kept Holly out of jail.
 

Billy Ray Cyrus and I are from the same place, a little area tucked away in the northeast corner of Kentucky—the same place that produced the Judds and Chuck Woolery, you’re welcome—but I can’t speak for him. I’m not sure where Destiny Hope lives these days, or if she ever hangs out in Flatwoods at all. Destiny Hope is Miley’s real name, just so it’s clear Dad and Disney sold her out from the beginning. The hearing to legally change her name, according Wikipedia, is today, actually.

When the now infamous Annie Leibovitz photo of Destiny Hope appeared in Vanity Fair, the world lost its mind. I was hipped to the controversy because the Today show insisted on showing me what was, by the way it was described, something nearly pornographic.

And gasp, they even showed it unedited right there on national television in broad Eastern Time zone daylight: a 15 year-old girl’s back. I blinked and went about my morning business, thinking it the latest in network "news," and pausing only to wonder how that was different from every trip to a beach or swimming pool growing up, or how it was different from seeing my stepson’s prom date in her backless prom dress on Saturday. She was only 16. Does that make it okay to see someone’s back?

But Destiny was covered by a sheet, not a bikini top or chiffon (or whatever fabric they wear to prom). And that means…what, exactly?

Something dirty, it would seem, even if that dirtiness never crossed my mind (heck, I barely noticed) until every news website, entertainment blog, splog, and "news" channel in the world dubbed the photo a "topless" one of Miley Cyrus. It was dirty because the media sold it as dirty.

And the audience bit, big time, and swooped in for the feast. Rewind the clock at Google Hot Trends to Monday’s top gainers and you’ll notice a theme—a saturation of search query variants for the photos. I’m not sure when the photo was posted online, but the spike seems to correlate with television coverage, which is the norm for search query bursts. By Tuesday and Wednesday, searchers had forgotten about it and had refocused their swarming around American Idol and a rumored Jimi Hendrix sex tape.

Hitwise reports today that VanityFair.com traffic spiked by a factor of 20, that searches for the Leibovitz photos doubled the searches for Lindsay Lohan’s for-real topless pics in New York Magazine. Hitwise Director of Research Heather Dougherty says 98% of Vanity Fair’s traffic was comprised of visitors who had never visited the site before.

From a publicist’s standpoint, from the standpoint of anybody in the business of creating pop starlets or selling magazines, the photo shoot, through some nice manufactured outrage, was a smash success. TV ratings, web traffic, and buzz were all up, up, up. And one day, when the seemingly insatiable public is actually satiated, they’ll pick another girl to use up, up, up.

Just like they told us on South Park.

Destiny Miley said she was embarrassed in the aftermath. Of course she was. What teenage girl wouldn’t be embarrassed about everybody making such a fuss about pictures she thought the day before were "pretty, natural and artsy?" If anybody should be embarrassed, it’s Billy Ray for allowing his daughter to be the next Hollywood virgin to be sacrificed, and the media for creating smut where previously there was none.

Sometimes the word "billions" can cloud your judgment, I guess.

Though undoubtedly good for the franchise in the long term, Disney joined in with feigned shock. It’s the appropriate PR move in this situation, and unfortunate timing given certain billboards popping up in Beijing.

But in the end I have to ask you which is dirtier: a teenage girl’s back or cashing in on it?
